BOARD02195

• Board Meeting Date: 9/12/1964
• Description: Minutes
• Board Meetings - Doc Type: Meeting

River storage. For the members of our audi-
ence, Mr. Sparks has prepared a detailed
memorandum under date of September 4th to the
members of the Board which we received and
digested prior to this meeting. We will ask
the Director to summarize his memorandum to
the Board and we will ask the Bureau represent- I
atives to s~eak on their conclusions. In each
instance the Board members will have an oppor-
tunity to question either Mr. Sparks or the
Bureau representatives on the conclusions that
are set forth, after which we will give all
interested parties an opportunity not only to
speak but to ask questions.

I am sure that this will be an extremely
orderly meeting and we will try to recognize
everyone, as I said, who would desire to
speak.

We have permanent records of these meet-
ings which are transcribed by dictaphone and
later on print and Mrs. Keating would like
very much for each person who desires to speak
to use that microphone over there, if they
will, identify yourself by name, occupation,
if you represent a water board, etc., and home
residence so that your remarks may be perma-
nently recorded.

To get into the agenda item I would now
like to call on Mr. Larry Sparks, the Director
of the Colorado Water Conservation Board. Mr.
Sparks."

MR. SPARKS:

"Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Gentlemen, the
members of the Board have received a memoran-
dum which we previously prepared. For the
record, I will go through it.

This memorandum first summarizes the
history of the Narrows Project.

Long time records on the South Platte
River indicate that the annual average dis-
charge of the river at the Colorado-Nebraska
state line is approximately 340,000 acre-feet.
