Mr. Hanson will inform trustees as to any updates on this matter.

Hydro-Power Study-In the progression of this project, Mr. Hanson has recently modified an old belt driven turbine and removed the pump. The Snowbird lift department will mount a 480 volt - 25 amp a/c generator on it and wire it into the tunnel. Once the run-off begins we will begin using this device off the tunnel grid to analyze the results.
