<br />Mr. Burr~ Thank you. <br /> <br />~tr. Stapleton, The next thing then would be our future board meetings. <br />We have tentatively scheduled one for August I and 2. What is August 1, <br />day of the week? <br /> <br />Mr. Sparks' August 1 and 2 are Thursday and Friday. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Hr. Stapleton: And what will we be doing at that meeting? <br /> <br />Mr. Sparks: The principal item will be to hear from the two oil com- <br />panies who plan immediate development to tap the oil shale resources <br />of the Parachute Creek area; namely, the Colony Company and the Union <br />Oil Company. We have heard a great deal about the water requirements <br />and we have heard a great deal about the environmental impact. We will <br />continue to hear for a number of years about the potential adverse <br />environmental impact of this industry, particularly as it relates to <br />the disposal of the spent shale. We are asking both of these two com- <br />panies to make a presentation to our board outlining their plans, their <br />water requirements and how they intend to avoid water pollution and <br />the problems of disposing the spent shale. They have offered to take <br />the board to their research sites so that we can see what they are <br />actually doing in the disposal and revegetation field. One day would <br />be devoted entirely to a field trip in the Parachute Creek area to <br />look at the actual operations now going on and those contemplated by <br />those two companies. <br /> <br />Mr. Stapleton: When is Colorado Day this year? <br /> <br />Mr. Ten Evck: It used to be August I. I think it is the first Monday <br />in August. I was going to ask the same question. <br /> <br />~tr. Stapleton: All right, so that it will be for state employees a <br />holiday that next Monday. Is that right? <br /> <br />~tr. Helton: August 5. <br /> <br />Mr. Stapleton: Well, it doesn't really have any impact on those that <br />\jork for a living: Larry, I hope I didn't offend you by that remark. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Mr. Sparks: If I were easily offended, I wouldn't be in this job: <br /> <br />(laughter) <br /> <br />Mr. Stapleton: All right. Is there any objection to that meeting in <br /> <br />-42- <br />
