These all require trade-off's in that <br />if we put snow fences on a high scenic area we have problems. There <br />are things that enter into this to restrict coal utilization in one of <br />these areas for want of production. <br /> <br />Mr, James, Did you do some trade-off analysis, at least in a <br />general way? <br /> <br />Mr, Hibbert, Not too many. 1 did give a few figures on cost that <br />are rather old and out of date but they may reflect the general cost <br />and the ratio between costs and benefits. <br /> <br />Mr. Valentine. You indicated at the earlier meetings that something <br />like twenty to twenty-five percent of the total potential is what was <br />developed in order to obtain that 750,000 acre-fet per year runoff in <br />season. <br /> <br />Mr, Hibbert, I think we indicated that roughly twenty percent of <br />the more important vegetation types would have to be managed in order <br />to get this amount. It would be higher in the Lower Basin, however. <br />Twenty percent roughly in every basin and some one-third of the area <br />had to be intensely managed in the Lower Basin to get this increase <br />that I hypothetically arrived at. Which in some cases may be stringent <br />and other cases may not be so stringent. <br /> <br />Environmental and Recreation Technical Subcommittee <br /> <br />Mr. Craig A, "Red" Giffen, Director, Area Planning and Development <br />Staff, Forest Service, Lakewood, Colorado, Chairman, reported on his <br />Subcommittee, Well Mr. Chairman, I don't really think I have anything <br />more to add beyond what Larry has said and the comments I added to <br />it at the Executive Subcommittee meeting. <br /> <br />For a copy of Mr, Giffen's report to and participation in the <br />16 August 1978 meeting of the Executive Subcommittee, see PART C - <br />ATfACHMENTS, <br /> <br />t <br /> <br />8, <br /> <br />Announcement <br /> <br />Colonel Vandenberg, Let me step back in the Agenda and bring up <br />one item that I passed over earlier. In addition to the departure of <br />Mr. Macias, we have had another long term member and supporter who <br />has departed from our ranks here, On the 14th of April this year, <br />Don Paff terminated his employment with the State of Nevada and he <br />is therefore no longer Nevada's representative on our Committee. I <br />would suggest that because of the great level support we received <br />from Don Paff in the past, it might be appropriate for the Chairman, <br />whoever he might be at the time, necessary to sign, send a resolution <br />to Mr, Paff similar to the one we are sending to Phil Macias. <br /> <br />B-9 <br /> <br />
