<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />We also have another problem in that the federal government is in court <br />doing the same thing. What we are trying to do is to get our figures <br />in accord with the federal government so that we can come up with a <br />common filing. In some cases, their filings will date back to 1912 or <br />1910 or whenever the establishment of a national forest occurred. In <br />any event. we are trying to work with the Forest Service to try as <br />nearly as possible come up with a common agreement between state and <br />federal agencies so that there is no conflict then between our decrees <br />and the decrees that they may get. <br /> <br />Mr. Geissinger: Let me ask this, Larry. in that regard on the Navajo <br />for example. Has there been any comparison of these figures that are <br />furnished here by the Division of Wildlife with the Forest Service <br />figures in this matter? Are we close to each other on what we are <br />asking? <br /> <br />Mr. Sparks: Yes. There is a federal project involved there and the <br />Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife is involved. the coordinating <br />agency for the federal agencies as far as fish and wildlife matters are <br />concerned. These to some extent were lifted from the act of Congress <br />which specified certain flows. New Mexico may disagree and we may end <br />up in the federal courts on this problem. <br /> <br />Mr. Moses: May I add one cautionary note on this Blanco-Navajo? This <br />will not supersede the right to divert under the San Juan-Chama act. <br />It will protect the bypasses from diversions below the bypass. future <br />diversions below the bypass which would bring it below minimal. It <br />will not affect the compact. The compact is superior to this appro- <br />priation too if there is a conflict. <br /> <br />Mr. Ten Evck: Mr. Chairman. is the motion in order now? <br /> <br />Mr. Stapleton: Yes. let's put a motion in order and then we are going <br />to call for some comment on these three rivers from first the board and <br />then the audience. So if you will move. <br /> <br />Mr. Ten EtCk: Mr. Chairman. I would move that the board authorize the <br />attorney or the board to make a filing for these proposed minimum stream <br />flows in the cases of the Navajo, the Blanco and the Badger Creek as <br />outlined in this memorandum to us. (See Appendix A). <br /> <br />Mr. Kroeger: I second the motion. <br /> <br />Mr. Stapleton: All r~ght now, is there any further discussion by members <br />of the Doard? <br /> <br />Mr. Pickrel: I would like to ask Larry what studies they have on the <br />Badger. I am not familiar at all with the Canon City area. <br /> <br />Mr. Sparks: Mr. Barrows is here from the Division of Wildlife and I <br />think other technicians are here. These people can explain much better <br />than I the nature of the studies. <br /> <br />Mr. Barrows: My name is Pete Barrows and I am with the Division of <br /> <br />-38- <br />
