MR. ROZICH: MR. STAPLETON: MR. SPARKS: Obviously this and its counterpart, air pollution~- are the hotuest things in state 90vernment and we appreciate this opportunity to talk to you. What do you envision from where you sit as the cooperation needed between your staff, the staff of this Board and our State Water Board?" I "I think the cooperation we have received to date from all state agencies has been more than gratifying. For instance, we did run into a mercury problem in Navajo Reservoir. The Game and Fish supplied a man with a shocking device who went down there and picked up fish for us to sample. The Water Conserva- tion Board, I think we have worked quite closely with not only Mr. Sparks and with Mr. Kuiper here and his people. In fact, I have a request down in their office right now. So I think we have had close cooperation and I hope it continues. I am sure it will." "Maybe Larry would have a comment while you are still here about his thoughts on this area. It "From our viewpoint we have received every possible cooperation from the State Health Department and the Water Pollution control Commission. As a part of our regular program in cooperation with the Geological Survey. we operate certain sampling stations through- out the state for the purpose of determining water quality. This is in the dissolved solid field and not in the organic pollution field. Those reports are published and become avail- able to the Water Pollution Control commission. We have problems occurring that the Gover- nor and the legislature have shown particular interest in, such as the Rocky Mountain Arsenal. We always call in Mr. Rozich or mem- bers of his staff to participate with us in any discussions concerning pollution control. I
