<br />I <br /> <br />Moving on to the Basalt Project and the <br />funds that were mentioned here earlier, $30,000 <br />to conduct that investigation, we are making our <br />plans now to proceed with that work. We have <br />not intended to start any work until we received <br />word from Jim Knights' Region that the investi- <br />gation of the damsite at Ruedi was at a sufficient <br />stage that we could say definitely we are going <br />ahead at that particular site. ~le particular <br />site of Ruedi is important in our surveys and <br />studies for the Basalt Project. <br /> <br />Now, under Feasibility Investigations, as <br />far as the Animas-La Plata Project is concerned, <br />I think we previously reported that that report <br />was in the Washington office. It has been sent <br />out for comments under the Flood Control Act. <br />The most recent word that we have on that is that <br />New Mexico has been granted an extension of time <br />to submit their comments on the project. <br /> <br />The Dolores Project is in the Commissioner's <br />office and is being revised for the field level <br />comments that were received on the field level <br />review and particularly for review and further <br />consideration of recreation and fish and wildlife <br />evaluations. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Again I think a good many of you gentlemen <br />were aware and were in attendance at the recent <br />field hearings of the Subcommittee on Irrigation <br />and Reclamation of the Interior and Insular <br />Affairs Committee which were held in Craig on <br />April 18th, at Crawford on April 19th, and at <br />Montrose on April 19th. We anticipate additional <br />hearings will be held in Washington at some <br />future time. Incidentally, we were sorry that the <br />plane taking off from Montrose had so much diffi- <br />cul ty . <br /> <br />The feasibility investigations on San Miguel <br />Project are progressing essentially on schedule. <br />This report is scheduled for completion F. Y. 65. <br /> <br />The feasibility investigations on West Di- <br />vide Project, as I reported at the last meeting, <br />are slightly behind schedule but we hope that we <br />
