<br />IH6 <br /> <br />MR. MOSES: <br /> <br />"Mr. Sparks, on your September <br />12th memorandum you went into the <br />gaging stations. Do you wish to take <br />that up at this time?" <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: <br /> <br />"Yes. There was attached to that <br />memorandum of September 12th a list <br />of the gaging stations which the De- <br />partment of the Interior request for <br />immediate installation so that they <br />\ canbegiD the studies on the projects <br />listed there. Now as you know, the <br />Bureau feels they must have these <br />gaging stations and take readings for <br />some three or four years before they <br />can justify the water supply for any <br />project. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />MR. MOSES: <br /> <br />These gaging stations listed about <br />complete all the stations necessary <br />for the projects mentioned in P. L. 485. <br />We would then have in operation, with <br />these stations, 60 gaging stations. <br />The number will taper off each year as <br />the studies are completed. Then the <br />gaging stations are taken off. We will <br />get our maximum with these installations <br />here of 60 stations. We have the money <br />for the installation of these gaging <br />stations and the U. S. G. S. has the <br />matching money for the installations al- <br />though this is not something, you under- <br />stand, that we had planned in our budget. <br />.Neither the U. S. G. S. or this Board <br />had particularly planned this. The <br />Bureau has accelerated their studies <br />and if they are going to accelerate them, <br />we want to help them." <br /> <br />"Do you know at this time whether <br />these stations coupled with the others <br />totaling 60, are going to provide the <br />information for the studies authorized <br />at the last Board meeting?" <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: <br /> <br />"Yes. These 60 stations will just <br />about complete those studies. There <br />are other stations too in addition to <br />what we are maintaining. The State, <br />for instance, maintains a number of <br />gaging stations absolutely on its own <br />through the State Engineer's office. <br /> <br />I <br />
