1 <br />1 143 <br /> 1 how much water would be taken out because of this <br /> 2 operation. <br />' 3 MR <br />GOMEZ: I don't know exactl <br />what <br /> . <br />y <br />i , 4 the amounts of water are. There are many times, <br /> 5 last year specifically, we had a great need for <br />t 6 water within the area. We did not have a good rain <br /> 7 year and so the Rito Seco at all times wasn't <br />' 8 running to -- in large capacity. There weren't <br /> 9 large amounts of water coming down it. <br />' 10 The way I understand it is, one of the <br /> 11 pits, the pit Furthest -- well, it would be up the <br />' 12 Rit <br />S <br />C <br />k <br />ill <br />h <br />th <br />h <br />th <br />t <br /> o <br />eco <br />ree <br />, w <br />, w <br />en <br />ey <br />ave gone <br />o <br />e <br /> 13 the 200-foot level, will draw water from the river. <br />' <br /> 14 And I <br />m saying then, what does gnat <br />' 15 leave for the wildlife below, because the <br /> 16 augmentation plan provides water at a lower :level <br />' 17 than the pit. What happens to the water flow at <br /> 18 that time? <br />' 19 If we have severe shortage years where <br /> 20 we don't have a lot of rain, or a lot of rair, and we <br /> 21 d <br />'t h <br />tl <br />l <br />t <br />f <br />f <br />ll <br />lik <br />i <br /> on <br />ave a <br />o <br />snow <br />s presen <br />y <br />o <br />a <br />, <br />e <br />' 22 happening, then what happens to the native trout <br /> 23 that are in there? Who protects them? Or do we <br />' 24 just write them off and say, after we get the water <br /> 25 flows back in, then we will repopulate it? <br />1 <br /> AGREN, BLANDO 6 BILLINGS <br />1 <br /> <br />
