Consideration of and comments on the alternate water <br /> <br />delivery plans for use of salvage water on presently <br /> <br />irrigated lands in Colorado be deferred to a later date." <br /> <br />As a result of this letter, the staff of Region 5 of the <br /> <br />Bureau of Reclamation proceeded with the completion of a feasibility <br /> <br />report incorporating the recommendations contained in the letter <br /> <br />from the Water Conservation Board to that agency. The report has <br /> <br />been completed; it is dated November, 1962, and a copy was received <br /> <br />by the Water Conservation Board on December 6, 1962. The contents <br /> <br />of this report were briefed for the Water Conservation Board at its <br /> <br />regular meeting January 9, 1963. In essence the report to the Water <br /> <br />Conservation Board showed that the recommendations contained in the <br /> <br />letter of February 6, 1962, had been complied with. <br /> <br />Following is a series of extracts from the report, which <br /> <br />is quite voluminous, illustrating that the protective features <br /> <br />suggested by the two conservancy districts and the State Water Con- <br /> <br />servation Board have been complied with.
