<br />1977. I wonder if that is possible? Do you think you can accommodate <br />that kind of a schedule? <br /> <br />. <br />. . . <br />MR. CRANDALL: For Dallas Creek, this would require that we complete <br />these preparatory steps by approximately January, because then there are <br />approval times that are pretty well set. After our intense consideration <br />of this in the past two days, we feel that with support and encourage- I <br />ment from this board, and encouragement in the processing steps that are <br />beyond regional and field control, that we will be in a position to <br />move within that time frame. We also feel that with extraordinary . <br />support and effort, we can do so on Fruitland Mesa. The Dallas and the <br />Dolores schedule, I think, is in good shape to do that at the end of <br />1.77, change that to construction status. The Savery-Pothook is the one <br />that troubles us because of the substitution of a new storage site. <br />This.requires field work, some geologic investigations, getting a new <br />feasibility ,estimate , and putting it all together in modified form. I <br />cannot give you that encouragement on Savery-Pothook. <br /> <br />MR'. SHERMAN: With respect to the other three, do you feel that you can <br />make an accelerated schedule? . <br /> <br />MR. CRANDALL: With respect to the other three, if we put together our <br />combined capacities, the field people in the districts, reclamation, the <br />state staff and the state departments that are involved, we can make it. <br /> <br />MR. SHERMAN: By March or April. of '77? <br /> <br />MR. CRANDALL: What I'm saying is that we have to have our work done by <br />January in order to have.that construction commitment in March. <br /> <br />MR. .SHERMAN: With respect to Savery-Pothook, what kind of delay do you <br />foresee there, assuming you are able to expedite.this process as fast as <br />you can? <br /> <br />MR. CRANDALL: <br />contract date. <br />three or four, <br /> <br />By mid-year of '77. We're showing August as the repayment <br />We can probably, with some special effort, put it back <br />four months at the maximum. <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: Dave, what can the bo.ard do? <br />accommodate the schedules that you 'have just <br /> <br />. <br />What should they do'to <br />enunciated? <br /> <br />. <br />MR.. CRANDALL: I think the board would specifically want to keep :track <br />of the day-to-day progress of the development of the environmental state- <br />ments and the completion of the definite plan report to insure that if <br />any snags occur or arise, that they're dealt with and that we are not <br />alone in working out shortcuts and getting final answers. <br /> <br />Mr.. Sherman has asked me to confer with the state wildlife agency on <br />mitigation features, and we've set up the schedules to do that. I've <br />talked with Mr. Reed personally, and it appears that we're ready to get <br />this definition. We will need your help in getting the same kind of <br />expedited contributions in that area, for example, and I think this board <br />and the state agencies can de it. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />-22- <br />
