They came up with an estimated $83.3 million worth of Interstate Projects, $19 million worth of Primary Projects, $6 million local representatives in plan- ning for the feasibility study, and permanent construction, community development. These meetings also provide an opportunity for IPP to update project details as more data is available. An example is the updating in the number of workers to be employed in conjunction with the project. It is now estimated that there will be a peak of 2,500 plant construction workers; 2,000 coal miners; 400 plant operators; and 1,000 coal mine construction workers. TEST WELL TO BE DRILLED The Intermountain Power Project will soon contract to drill a test well to an approximate depth of 1,700 feet near the primary study site this spring. The new well will penetrate completely through the underground Navajo sandstone, estimated to be 1,000 feet thick, to gain more information about the water bearing properties of the rock and rock fracture systems of the area. Drilling of two smaller holes in an area remote from the main well will also take place. They will be used in conjunction with two existing wells for observation purposes during IPP test pumping this spring. -- for the South Central Utah area just two months away, a theme must be chosen.

He said if the amount of funds released to Utah by June 30th is insufficient to cover all of the "readied projects, the Utah State Road Commission will make the final selection as to which piojects are funded. Among the projects on the list which state engineers feel have a good chance of being funded by June 30th are the following: Hot Springs to Hot Springs to Perry $10 million (Surfacing only) Interstate Proj.

State Highway Engineer C.V. Anderson said it is unlikely that all of the projects on the list will be ready for contract by the June 30th deadline. He pointed out that only about a third of the projects could be funded anyway, because the combined cost all of them of constructing would far exceed the states apportionment of federal highway funds. However, he said Utah will be able to obligate at least $40 million worth of which federal aid projects, would be in addition to the Power Project is being studied by IPP. It calls for construction of an approximate reservoir in the Caineville Wash area that would impound water diverted from the Fremont River. The reservoir would store enough water to allow irrigators to meet their requirements throughout the season. It would also allow IPP to utilize water for plant operations when not needed for agricultural use, primarily during the months.

The collective highway fund "pot" will be given out to the states on a basis until the money is until June 30th, which or gone, ever comes first. The object of the competition is for states to get as many projects ready for contract as they possibly can before the June 30th deadline, and the faster the better.
