<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />MR. SMITH: <br /> <br />MR. DUGAN: <br /> <br />MR. JENNINGS: <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />MR. MILLER: <br /> <br />"The operating principles, Mr. Peterson, <br />provide for an active capacity of not less than <br />100,000 acre-feet so that 100,000 will be on top <br />of the dead storage pool. This dead storage <br />pool is partially for western Colorado's utiliza- <br />tion of that water because it is necessary to get <br />the water high enough to divert to the Basalt <br />Project area." <br /> <br />"Well, that is correct, Mr. Smith. I know <br />that Mr. Jennings sat in on that meeting with <br />Mr. Ogilvie on the discussion of this minimum <br />pool, keeping in mind these operating principles <br />at all times to make sure that the 100,000 acre- <br />foot pool was entirely protected in the estab- <br />lishment of this minimum storage, is it not, Mr. <br />Jennings?" <br /> <br />"Mr. Dugan, there are a number of considera- <br />tions on this storage but as I recall the figures, <br />at 7590, I think there is something less than <br />3,000 acre-feet of storage. Now, to operate the <br />Basalt Project, our studies to date indicate that <br />we must have an elevation of about 7575 at the <br />outlet works to get the required amount of water <br />into the Basalt conduit and in turn get that down <br />to the Missouri Heights Reservoir. That would <br />require an elevation of about 7580 in the reser- <br />voir. If the permanent fish pool would be at <br />7590 that would be about 10 feet in addition to <br />what we would require to get the water to the <br />Basalt project. <br /> <br />I don't know whether that matter has been <br />entirely resolved. I think I wrote to Jim <br />Ogilvie and gave him my suggestions, recommenda- <br />tions, on that. As yet I have not heard from <br />Jim as to how you people are considering it. So <br />we have, I think, some problems there that have <br />to be studied and ironed out." <br /> <br />"Any further discussion on that particular <br />point? Are there any further questions from the <br />Board on Region 7's report?" <br /> <br />"Mr. Chairman, on the Narrows Unit, the last <br />of that short statement here, Mr. Dugan refers to <br />
