<br />"'r~~U <br /> <br />more of storage in Lake Powell if our estimates <br />are correct." <br /> <br />MR. ECKLES: <br /> <br />"In e:lCcess of what is there now?" <br /> <br />MR. JENNINGS: <br /> <br />"That's right." <br /> <br />MR. ECKLES; <br /> <br />"Thank you." <br /> <br />MR. GOODWIN: <br /> <br />"Bob. a question I was going to ask you, <br />do you anticipate that later on, say this <br />season in the fall, that we are going to ~ave <br />to let more water out of Lake Powell to satisfy <br />the needs of Lake Mead or are we going to be <br />able to store some excess there that we can <br />use or are we going to have to drop Lake powell <br />down again considerably?" <br /> <br />MR. JENNINGS: <br /> <br />"That is a question that I don't think has <br />yet been determined. The plans that I know of <br />at the present time, and I know that these are <br />under study all the time and can be changed, <br />are that they will first get Lake Mead up to <br />rated head and then start storing in Lake <br />Powell." <br /> <br />MR. GOODWIN: <br /> <br />"'VIe 11, actually, what I was getting at is <br />how much time have we, or how much grace do we <br />have, to get Lake Mead Up? Does it mean that <br />we are going to have to get it up wi th all the <br />water possible or are we going to be allowed <br />to store some at Glen Canyon?" <br /> <br />MR. JENNINGS: <br /> <br />"The present plans are to first get it up <br />to rated head and then store in Lake Powell. <br />The operations after that point, late summer <br />operations and through next winter, I have no <br />information on what their plans are. There <br />are studies being made all the time and I think <br />they won't make a decision on it until after <br />they see how the spring runoff occurs. They <br />are reviewing these studies now and what hap- <br />pens largely depends on how the runoff occurs <br />this spring and what occurs after the runoff <br />is completed." <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br />
