00030 J Cooperative Extension Colorado state University Southeast Region May 22, 2000 Reply to: 411 North 10th street Rocky Ford, CO 81067 valliant@coop.ext.colostate.edu (719) 254-7608 Steve Miller Senior Water Resource Specialist Colorado Water Conservation Board 1313 Sherman Street Room 721 Denver, CO 80203 Steve; Enclosed are the minutes of the April 18, 2000 meeting of the NEPSCD and where they would like to see us spend the $26,000 designated for subsurface drainage. Presently, we have two cooperators for the subsurface drainage project and we will have estimates and can hopefully contract for the material in installation before June 20. I ~ave contacted the University and was told I could contract with the NEPSCD for approval and final payment of the subsurface drainage. CSU would make payment to the SCD based on contracts between the cooperator and the SCD and this would allow us to complete the drainage projects at a later date, after June 30. I have been given liquid PAM for the reduction of ditch seepage demonstration on the Biles Lateral east of Cory Thompson's home. Also, many of the water and soil analysis as well as the salinity mapping are being done with CSU or USDA-ARS personnel at no cost. As a result, I am asking for approval to transfer funding for the PAM, salinity mapping and soil and water testing to general use. This would include cost for personnel hired through Otero County, additional travel expenses, cellular phone, photographic supplies and educational meetings. This would allow me to spend the money within my organization then to obtain the information needed for completion of the demonstrations through the 2000 crop year using my CSU budget beyond June 30. :~ 1?~~ Colorado State University.
