Richard D. Lamm G/WemOl' c J. William fvk:OonaJd Directot David W. Walker Deputy Director February 22, 1982 Mr. Cliff Barrett, Regional Director Upper Colorado Region U.S. Bureau of Reclamation P.O. Box 11568 Salt Lake City, UT 84147 Dear Cliff: By letter dated December 31, 1981, you invited the state to comment on the proposed Dominguez Reservoir project. At its February 5th meeting in Grand Junction, the Board reviewed the results of the feasibility study and heard comments from several interested parties. The Board would like to indicate to the Bureau its continu- ing interest in the project. Although the 80ard has not decided whether to seek authorization for the project, it urges the Bureau to recommend that planning be continued on the M&I water supply formulation of the project in order to complete a feasibility level study on that alternative. The Board will be seeking support from the Colorado congres- sional delegation for a FY 83 write-in appropriation for continu- ing planning. In this regard, I would appreciate it if you could advise on the Bureau's capability to proceed with planning the next fiscal year. Finally, pleased be advised that the Board staff is in the process of preparing detailed comments on the Draft Feasibility Report and Advance Draft EIS (December, 1981). I expect to forward these to you within two or three weeks. Disk No. 201 let/jwm (barrett) 1 Robert A. Jackson. Chairman. John R. Fetcher, Vice Chairman C.M. Furneaux, Dale F. Grant, Richard W.
