The proposal <br />reflects changes resulting from our discussions in La Junta in January. We have removed aspects <br />of the earlier proposal related to trends in ground-water storage and use of an existing model to <br />evaluate alternatives to lower the high water table in the study area. We have added evaluation of <br />relations between ground-water levels and other hydrologic variables in the study area, <br /> <br />As you will see, we have planned to begin work this summer, but we will need to make water- <br />level measurements in the study area next spring before irrigation begins, resulting in a draft <br />report to you next May. If you have any questions about the proposal, please don't hesitate to call <br />me at 719-544-7155, ex!. 130. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br />Doug Cain <br />Subdistrict Chief <br /> <br />Enclosure: <br /> <br />copy to: Kip Bossong, WRD, Lakewood CO <br />Ken Watts, WRD, Pueblo CO <br />Pat Edelmann, WRD, Pueblo CO <br />District Chief, WRD, Lakewood CO <br />
