<br />Mr. Bill Raley here. <br /> <br />MR. RALEY: There was an announcement of $583,000. <br />we're right, so we're asking you to check it out to <br />the right amount of funds. <br /> <br />We're not sure <br />make sure we have <br /> <br />I MR. BENTON: This is '76, Bill. List for '77 is $480,000. <br />MR. RALEY: I know, but I still think there's a discrepancy there. <br />MR. SPARKS: Ed, what is the correct figure? <br /> <br />MR. WISCOMBE: Figures change a little, but depending upon',the carry <br />over of what was appropriated before it was held up because of the <br />President's holdup in his funds, so I think that the figures are <br />essentially correct. <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: I think the new money is $480,000. <br /> <br />MR. WISCOMBE: That's the correct figure, and what's passed depends upon <br />the carry: over. <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: Savery-Pot Hook. <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: Savery-Pot Hook is another project which, like the Fruit- <br />land Mesa, was authorized in 1964. So as far as we know, there's been <br />no opposition to the project. It's in an area of the state which most <br />people don't know about. I met last week with the Pot Hook Board in <br />Craig and also with the Savery Board from Wyoming. I think we have <br />resolved the last problem with that project and we expect to move ahead <br />with it. We have construction funds available this fiscal year and the <br />funds programmed for next year appear to be adequate. The Pot Hook <br />District, I'm quite sure, is not represented here today. The President <br />did call me yesterday and again expressed the support of his board for <br />the project. <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: Any discussion or question on the Savery-Pot Hook? <br />(No response.) <br /> <br />We will go to the West Divide, and 1 gather there is nothing in our <br />folder on that. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: A plan for the development of the West Divide District has <br />not yet been formalized. We're waiting until we get some formal plan <br />before we put out a new summary for the project. However, the funds in <br />the President's budget appear to be adequate to carryon the planning <br />for that project. There is considerable opposition, I might add, to <br />that project, at least to the way it was originally presented in the <br />feasibility rep6.rt. What the distdct has attempted to do over there <br />the West Divide District, with the help of the Colorado River Water <br />Conservation District -- is to get a plan formulation which will meet <br />many of the objections which have been raised about the project. <br /> <br />-11- <br />
