<br />I have been something like ten times what were projected at <br /> <br />, <br />!' 2 the time of construction. Thank you very much. <br /> <br />'\ <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br />MODERATOR: Mr. Steckel, thank you very much. <br />Our next witness will be 11rs. Patricia Lee Polson. <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />s <br /> <br />MRS. POLSON: 14y name is Patricia Polson. I am a <br /> <br />6 joint owner with my husband, Duane Polson, of 155 acres on <br />7 Fruitland Mesa, of which approximately 100 acres are irrigabl , <br />8 and 205 acres at Maher with approximately 100 acres irrigable <br />91 have lived at our present home on Fruitland Mesa for more <br />I <br />I 10 than twenty years, all of which we have been engaged in farm- <br />II ing. I have lived in the areA since my bir~l in 1936. <br />12 It is my contention that the proposed project will in <br />13 no way harm the grazing land or the natural habitat for the <br />14 deer. They can only benefit from the alfalfa fields which <br />15 will be planted. Within the past few weeks, wahave watched <br />16 deer feeding within 100 yards of our house. As we movedabou <br />17 the yard and, in turn, called other members of the family to <br />18 see them, they remained undisturbed. Over the thirty or more <br />19 minutes that we watched them, they never left the field. <br />20 Several of them even laid down ,and they were still there when <br />21 we quit watching them. This morning as I stood at my sink, <br />22 I watched five deer work their way across our field to the <br />23 SOU~l, grazing as they went. This afternoon r jumped in my <br />2~ car to run and porrow something from my neighbor. ! again <br />25 <br />saw several deer. I counted six without stopping the car. <br />
