That Colorado should insist on provlslon for substantial <br />storage in Colorado as a condition of its approval of the <br />Colorado River Storage Project Bill. <br /> <br />5. As a further condition for its approval of the storage <br />bill that Colorado should insist on explicit language <br />to insure that downstream storage built preceding Colorado <br />development could not have any priority to interfere with <br />upstream domestic, agricultural or industrial development. <br /> <br />6. That Colorado should insist, as a further condition of <br />approval of the storage bill, that explicit and binding <br />language be included therein, which would clearly make <br />available the net revenue of first phase construction at <br />an early period after completion of first phase projects <br />for the benefit of participating projects. <br /> <br />7. That Colorado favor the inclusion of the DeBeque Reservoir <br />as a first phase project subject only to submission of a <br />feasibility report by the Bureau of Reclamation. <br /> <br />8.

We recommend to the Water Board that it be understood that <br />the Water Board will make investigations of further plans <br />for water use in Colorado when conditions change or additional <br />data becomes available. <br /> <br />A motion to make the above Findings and Recommendations to the <br />Colorado Water Conservation Board was made by rlr.
