SUBJECTS
Reservoir Levels

1104 - Dale advised that Gracon has lowered the water level as far as required
1105 - under its contract, and as far is necessary for Gracon's work.  Kieth
1106 - explained that it would be helpful to Sletten if the reservoir could be
1107 - lowered further.
1108 -
1109 - Dale said lowering the level further would be difficult because of the
1110 - force of the water going over the dam now.  He explained it is very
1111 - difficult to reach and hold the flash boards to pull them out.  Jeff
1112 - asked Sletten if they are sure this would be a significant assistance
1113 - to their work, and Kieth affirmed it would be.

1711 - Sletten has a lot going on, he is unsure of its schedule for next week,
1712 - and that something may come up.  Rod Welch asked if Sletten knows or
