<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />Aqenda Item 14 - Fundinq for SCS Snow Survey <br /> <br />Chairman Johnston discussed this item by calling attention <br />to the fact that the President's FY 1986 bUdget request <br />proposes that the snow survey program administered by the U. S. <br />Soil Conservation Service be terminated after the next fiscal <br />year. He emphasized that the water supply and runoff forecasts <br />derived from the snow course measurements are of vital <br />importance to Colorado's water users. He suggested that the <br />Board take action supporting the continuation of the federal <br />program by approving a resolution which had been prepared by <br />Mr. McDonald. <br /> <br />Mr. Lochhead moved, seconded by Mr. Vandemoer, that the <br />Board approve the proposed resolution as written. Motion <br />adopted unanimously. (A copy of the proposed resolution is <br />inc~uded as Appendix G). <br /> <br />Aqenda Item 15 - Closed Basin project, Staqe 5 Wells <br />(Appendix H) <br /> <br />Board Member Raymond Wright addressed this item by stating <br />that the Bureau of Reclamation. the agency constructing the <br />Closed Basin ProJect. wishes to commence construction of <br />salvage wells i~ Stage 5 of the project in November 1985. <br />Pursuant to the project authorizing act. construction may be <br />undertaken in stages only if construction of each successive <br />stage after stagel is consented to by the Colorado Water <br />Conservation Board and the Rio Grande Water Conservation <br />District. To insure that there is sufficient lead time to <br />acquire rights-of-way for the stage 5 salvage wells, the Bureau <br />needs the Board's and. the District's consent to proceed at this <br />time. A draft resolution granting this consent was attached to <br />Mr. McDonald's April 22, 1985, memorandum to the Board relevant <br />to this item. <br /> <br />Mr. Wright moved. seconded by Mr. Vandemoer, that the Board <br />adopt the resolution and instruct Mr. McDonald to forward <br />certified copies of the resolution to the District and to <br />appropriate officials of the Bureau of Reclamation.
