<br />All those in favor of the Closed Basin project resolution signify by <br />saying "aye" - opposed, "no." That resolution is adopted. (See <br />Appendix F) . <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />(Mr. Lee Ford arrived late). Now Lee, we are moving along a little <br />rapidly. I want you to know that we approved the resolutions on the <br />Dallas Creek and Fruitland Mesa projects. So if you want to make any <br />further comment on either one of them, . . . <br /> <br />Mr. Ford: While you were doing that, I was up there flying over Denver <br />for the last forty-five minutes trying to get down. <br /> <br />~tr. Sparks: I would suggest, Mr. Chairman, that the record be corrected <br />to show that Mr. Ford made the motions in favor of the adoption of the <br />Fruitland Mesa and the Dallas Creek projects resolutions. <br /> <br />Mr. Ford: I would sure like that. <br /> <br />Mr. Stapleton: All right, Courtesy of, I presume, Frontier Airlines: <br /> <br />Mr. Ford: We were in a holding pattern up there, waiting to corne down: <br /> <br />Mr. Stapleton: Is there any objection to Lee Ford being the mover of <br />those? All right, will the record then show as that. <br /> <br />All right, John, the sixth one is the Lower Yampa project, and would <br />you comment on that? <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Mr. Fetcher: I certainly would like to comment on it. It was formerly <br />ltnown as the Juniper project and now it has been renamed the Lower <br />Yampa project. It consists of basically two features of which the <br />Juniper reservoir is the largest impoundment. The Bureau of Reclamation <br />is working on the feasibility study. As I understand it, the funds are <br />about run out for the feasibility study and they plan to close it out <br />this summer with what is known as a status report. The status report <br />doesn't really get us anywhere in that it is not a complete report. It <br />is necessary that we have additional moneys in the amount of about <br />$200,000 over two years to complete the feasibility study. This project <br />is of interest to the oil shale industry as far as water supplies are <br />concerned and it also has a modest power feature. It would be the only <br />major impoundment on the Yampa River. I would certainly recommend that <br />it be pushed ahead by the monies needed to complete the feasibility <br />study. <br /> <br />~rr. Stapleton: All right, John, do you have anybody here that you would <br /> <br />-l7- <br />
