<br />MR.

STAPLETON: Any further discussion 'on ,this 'project?, (No:re~ponse.) <br /> <br />All right. We'll pass on to the Dallas'Creek. <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: Dallas Creek is one'that we have had some pJ:oblems with, <br />particularly at our meeting ~n Grand Junction last year. ,I think al~ <br />those problems have ,been resolved. The de~inite plan repo~t has now <br />been completed, at least the field draft, and we have received.this <br />week the draft environmental impact statement on the project. As the <br />board will recall, we have nine autho~ized'projects. Until the time <br />that we ,received the environmental impact statement 011 'the Narrqws <br />project, ,we have never received any environmental impact statements. <br />The Narrows was the. first and this is part of the problem with getting <br />these projects moving. The Narrows project was l;he first experience <br />we've had in reviewing an environmental impact statement on any rec1-a- <br />mation projeqt here in Colorado. We do, now have the draft environmental <br />impact statement on the Dallas Creek project, and hearings will be held <br />in Montros~ on that statement early 'in April, as I recall. Hopefully, <br />construction on that project will start. We have construction funds <br />this fiscal year, and we b~lieve that the funds are adequate.to con-, <br />,tinue the construction for the ne~t fiscal year. <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: Any question or discussion on the Dallas Creek project? <br />(No response.) <br /> <br />We will now proceed to the Dolores. <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: For the Dolores project; the definite plan report has <br />almost been completed. Negotiations are now under way for the repay- <br />ment contract. We expect a draft on the ~nvironmental impact statement <br />on that project in the very near future. The disappointing thing about <br />the President's budget was the lack of any funds to initiate constru~- <br />tion on the Dolores project. For this fiscal year, the board did <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />..8- <br />
