<br />another look at some aspects of the Fruitland Mesa project, and we <br />will do the same for the Savery-Pot Hook. Rolly is entirely correct. <br />We: can't plow the same ground over'. and over. We have to change our <br />tactics a little. That is something that we should discuss at the <br />March meeting. We should:arrive at some possible solution prior.to <br />that time. <br /> <br />MR. ROLLY FISCHER: My board will discuss it next Tuesday. <br /> <br />MR. FETCHER: I think it would be informative if we could get a brief <br />overview of. the weather modification program. Is that possible, <br />Larry? <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: Well, I'm getting sick of that program. (Laughter.) <br /> <br />MR. ROBBINS: You caused that roof in Connecticut to collapse! <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: Yes. We are getting blamed for everything, whether there <br />is too little snow or too.much snow. :1 might give just a very brief. <br />rundown on the activity. <br /> <br />(At the map) As I pointed out earlier, that shows the general <br />configuration of ground generators. We are getting a number:of calls <br />and letters requesting: that we either turn the.damn.snow off or: turn. <br />it on somewhere. We are getting it both ways. <br /> <br />In the southeast, we are getting considerable pressure to put additional <br />generators in that area. We have had people from the lower end of the <br />Arkansas say, ''what are you doing for us today?" . We also got a call. <br />from. one of the commissioners up at Craig in Moffat County who was <br />-very:courteous.a~d nice:about it, but he suggested' that we do more for <br />Moffat County.. Then .we have received some calls. from Steamboat Springs <br />which haven't:been so friendly, and they say, "Shut the damn things <br />off. We've had enough." <br /> <br />MR. FETCHER:. Thank you. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />MR; SPARKS: So we shut them off in the. Steamboat .area. .We have shut <br />down. generators from time to time based upon various factors; .one,: I <br />until we could analyze. a recent snowfall; and, two, because of. high <br />winds. As best as we can, we monitor these conditions on a twenty- . <br />four-hour basis every day.: <br /> <br />We are having a.difficult time trying to respond to the requests:for <br />additional generators. Actually, we have placed more. generators in <br />the southeast area than we think is justified by the circumstances. <br />However, that area has been desperately hit by the drought.
