<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />area. That battle is over. There is no possibility that we know of <br />for constructing any type of dam or structure within the boundaries of <br />the Dinosaur National Monument. <br /> <br />Mr. Moses: Mr. Chairman. I might add that if we could get the Lower <br />Yampa constructed, it is conceivable that we would be in a much better <br />position to agree to a minimum stream flow down below with storage <br />immediately above the Monument than we could without storage on the <br />river. That is one of the positives. We have no control over the flow <br />of the river below Maybell. If we had the Lower Yampa project or some <br />part of the Juniper or some substantial storage on the Yampa below <br />Craig, then conceivably we will be in a position to maintain a minimum <br />stream flow where nature refused to provide it. I think we have a <br />joint interest in that kind of a problem. <br /> <br />~tr. Reid: I believe the study the Bureau of sport Fisheries and Wild- <br />life is undertaking on the minimum requirements for the endangered <br />species will also be a factor there. The turbidity temperature of the <br />water as well as the flow are all factors in their survival. <br /> <br />~. Burr: i1r. Chairman. <br /> <br />~tr. Stapleton: ~tr. Burr. <br /> <br />Mr. Burr: May I ask if there is any privately owned water within that <br />wilderness area? <br /> <br />~. Reid: There is none that I know of. Do you know of any privately <br />owned water? <br /> <br />Mr. Kuiper, Mr. Chairman, I believe Wes Signs, as division engineer, <br />might be able to answer that question. <br /> <br />Mr. Siqns: Yes, there is a water right in the area. <br /> <br />Mr. Reid: Within the proposed wilderness area? <br /> <br />Mr. Burr: He will then be restricted with the wilderness area? <br /> <br />i1r. Jones: No, the private land is excluded. <br /> <br />ptr.
