Further, the change in operational f1exibilities that may be related to such an <br />augmentation plan has not been analyzed to determine the impacts to the project over <br />time. No specific data has been made available to Reclamation to determine the effects <br />the proposal would have on Closed Basin facilities and operations.

As of this time, Stockman's <br />has not filed an application to secure the water rights for the project. <br /> <br />t. <br /> <br />6 <br /> <br />!}..... <br />I.' <br />r....-.. <br />.. <br />
