<br />prejecting these improvements in time is by shortening the review and. <br />processing times on these reports, not on the performance of the field <br />werk itself. We have had our Denver and Washington an<;l departmental . <br />peeple in Grand Junctien, I think, three times within the last six <br />menths geing over all these decuments, and we're accemmedating these <br />comments and review. I think we've get things pretty well werked eut <br />and settled down. So, when they're done, they're geing to. go. threugh. I <br />And my plan to. meet the schedule on all ef these requires this kind ef <br />ceeperative clearance at all levels of the Bureau. The Cemmissioner <br />has given us support in the past, and I have every confidence he will. <br />again. I'll be seeing him this coming Menday, and this is the item at <br />the tep ef eur regiena1 agenda, is our performance on these programs <br />that are autherized for constructio.n. So., we'll have all the characters <br />in play and we'll be right there. ' <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: In that regard, Larry, I'm sure the beard wants to. be on <br />tep ef this all the time.. De you envisien that we sheu1d have another <br />meeting between now and September'8 to. keep on top of this? Or is <br />September 8 good eneugh fer a full report from you and the Bureau again? <br />If we have to have a meeting every month, we will. I think the Bureau <br />is committed, we're committed, and we want to meet these deadlines. <br /> <br />. <br />MR. SPARKS: Mr. ChairI!Jan, in view ef the comments. that I would like to. <br />make later, September would be seon eneugh to report back to the beard. <br />I'm thi~ing in terms ef some deadlines that actually go. beyond that ~ate, <br />but we could have a preject report to. the beard at a deadline, that I <br />would like to suggest later. <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: All right. <br /> <br />We have not had an input from the Tri-Ceunty. Haroid, weuld yeu like' <br />to. say something? If yeu do, will'ybu take the microIlhone so. that the <br />reperter can have yeur remarks. <br /> <br />MR. WESTESEN: My name is Hareld Westesen. I'm president of the Tri- <br />Ceunty Water Conservancy District. <br /> <br />Mr. ,Chairman, members of the Co1erade Water Board, and ladies and <br />gentlemen. Some of the things that I will read new are repetitious, <br />fell owing the preceding discourse. I didn't knew this when I wrote it <br />yesterday, but please bear with me. I weuld like to. present to you a <br />briefing on the Dallas Creek project and some of the frustratiens we . <br />have experienced. I believe that mest ef yeu are familiar with the <br />lecation and general features ef the project. As you know, the normal <br />flow ef the Uncompahgre River is fUlly appropriated. . The purpese of . <br />the Ridgway Reservoir is to. stere the runoff frem the spring snowmelt <br />and the summer fleeds. This is estimated to be between 60,000 and <br />70,000 acre-feet per year. <br /> <br />The eriginal cost ef ,the project in 1966 was approximately $36,000,000. <br />In the eight years since the project has been authorized, costs have <br />risen to over $90,000,000. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />-24- <br />
