<br />002713 <br /> <br />from the State agencies of Agriculture Extension Service, Water Rights (State <br /> <br /> <br />Engineers Office), State Lands, the Director of the Utah Water Users Associa- <br /> <br /> <br />tion, and a statistician from the University of Utah. There are three <br /> <br /> <br />meteorologists involved, one from the National Heather Service, the University <br /> <br /> <br />of Utah, and private practice. <br /> <br /> <br />The committee has been formed now for about a year and we have had a few <br /> <br /> <br />meetings with them. However, we have found the best way to utilize the mem- <br /> <br /> <br />bers of the committee is to go to them individually when we have a problem in <br /> <br /> <br />their particular field. \oIhen we have had research proposals come in that <br /> <br /> <br />required the knowledge of a meteorologist to adequately review; we had each of <br /> <br /> <br />the three meteorologists review and make comments and recommendations, \oIhen <br /> <br /> <br />we had questions concerning operations in the National Forests or National <br /> <br /> <br />Parks, we called the particular agency representatives for advice, etc. When <br /> <br />we had license and permit applications from the North American Weather Con- <br /> <br /> <br />sultants and Atmospherics Incorporated, we had all members of the committee <br /> <br />review the applications and make comments and recommendations which are relayed <br /> <br /> <br />to the Board of Water Resources so the Board could act on the license and <br /> <br />permit applications, This committee has been very helpful to our program this <br /> <br /> <br />year, <br /> <br />e. Office Committee <br /> <br /> <br />We utilize the personnel in our office for advice and counsel on this <br /> <br /> <br />program. Leading the way is our Director, Dan Lawrence. Dr, Norman Stauffer <br /> <br /> <br />is our Chief Hydrologist, Mr. Robert Murdock, our Chief Engineer, was in the <br /> <br /> <br />forefront of this program and was a principal in drafting the law. Mr. Paul <br /> <br /> <br />Gillette, the Assistant Director, was an original in the program and organized <br /> <br /> <br />much of the present program, and myself. <br /> <br /> <br />These people not only offer technical advice and counsel, but administra- <br /> <br /> <br />tive advice as well. All proposals are routed through these people for their <br /> <br /> <br />review, then we will bring in outside experts for their advice. <br /> <br /> <br />I believe this covers the high points of the Utah Program. I would be <br /> <br /> <br />happy to respond to questions, <br /> <br /> <br />Warburton: \oIhy isn't the Wasatch Range in the project area? <br /> <br /> <br />Summers: The Wasatch front area, which includes from Provo on the south to <br /> <br /> <br />Ogden on the north, has had ample water supplies for the past 10-15 years and <br /> <br />14 <br />
