<br />"-- - <br /> <br />3.,1~ <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Mr. Bailey: "How far is it to the high line of Echo Park?" <br /> <br />Mr. Pughe: "Eight miles. At Little Sphake that coml in to the. <br />Yampa four miles belmv Cross Mountain. There ought to be silt <br />trap in that stream over there. 'They call it the Lilly Park Gaging <br />Station. " <br /> <br />Mr. Bailey: "Does anyone have further questions on Cross Mountain?" <br /> <br />Mr. D~nbar: "I move that the Director be instructed to send a letter <br />of thanks and appreciation to each member of our Conciliation Com- . <br />mittee and thank them for the time and effort they have spent in the <br />East-West Slope controversy." <br /> <br />Mr. Dille: "I SECO~j]) that motion." All in favor - MOTION CARRIED. <br /> <br />Mr. Bailey: "Does anyone have anything further to bring up at this. <br />:neeting?" <br /> <br />Mr. Moses: "l am curious to knOYl what the Colorado Commissioner's <br />instructions are. I don't seem to know. what they arell. <br /> <br />Mr. Breitenstein: "Neither does the Commissioner." <br /> <br />. . <br />Mr. Moses: "I think he is entitled to more concrete instructions <br />than he has navl". <br /> <br />Mr. Bailey: "We asked Mr. Breitenstein and he went through each <br />par~graph and explained it at the last meeting." <br /> <br />Mr. Moses: "I read in the morning paper that the legislature was <br />going to solve this for us and I certainly think the legislature <br />should have that opportunity. I am wondering w~ether or not it <br />would be possible to adopt the suggestions contained in the proposed <br />draft which we discussed at the last'meeting or to instruct the ,Com- <br />missioner that we were thoroughly in support of the Upper Basin Pro- <br />ject. It seems to me there is more flexibility in the proposed draft. <br />In the first place the report of the'Conference Committee does not <br />include Cross Mountain. I think the proposed draft gives Colorado a <br />much better deal on upstream storage than does the Conference Committee <br />report." <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Mr. Dutcher: "We are working that out right now. I don't.believe vIe <br />are going to insist on pinpointing Curecanti as such. We need a little <br />change in phraseology in the event 'the draft is adopted by the Colo- <br />rado Water Board. Instead of saying, at the end of paragraph 2, "or <br />on the Gunnison River, or a combination of the two", delete that and <br />substitute that by: "A substantial portion of which shall be located <br />on the upper reaches of the Gunnison River". <br /> <br />"In the third paragraph, instead of saying, "There is little doubt <br />but that the amount of storage requested will be needed", substitute <br />that by s~ing, "There is no doubt that further consumptive use of <br />water in Colorado is directly dependent upon high upstream storage". <br />
