laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

               Not applicable.

Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction.

                Except  as  described below,  Clark  has  no
present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in
any  transaction  of the kind described  in  paragraphs  (a)
through   (j)   of   Item  4.   In  the   future,   however,
Clark  reserves the right to adopt such plans or  proposals,
subject to applicable regulatory requirements, if any.

                Pursuant  to an Amended and Restated  Voting
Agreement  dated August 12, 1992, a copy of which was  filed
previously as Exhibit A to Amendment No. 1 (the "1992 Voting
Agreement"),  Clark has agreed along with other  parties  to
vote  his  shares of the Company's Common Stock in favor  of
electing  a  representative designated by The  Environmental
Private Equity Fund II, L.P., a Delaware limited Partnership
("EP  Fund"), to the Company's Board of Directors.  EP  Fund
owns  2,600,000  shares  of Common  Stock  of  the  Company,
600,000  shares of Series A Preferred Stock of  the  Company
which    are   convertible    into   2,400,000   shares   of
Common  Stock, and warrants to acquire an additional  72,541
shares  of Common Stock.  Companies affiliated with EP  Fund
who  are parties to the 1992 Voting Agreement (the "EP  Fund

approximately  29.3% of the Company's Common Stock.   George
M.  Middlenas currently serves on the Board and was  elected
as the EP Fund representative.

11, 1990, a copy of which was filed previously as Exhibit  B
to  Amendment No. 1 (the "1990 Voting Agreement"), Clark has
agreed  along with other parties to vote his shares  of  the
Company's Common Stock in favor of electing a representative
designated  by  Inco  Securities  Corporation,  a   Delaware
corporation ("Inco"),  to the Company's Board of  Directors.
Inco  owns  warrants to acquire 4,700,000 shares  of  Common
Stock.   Assuming the exercise of all warrants held by  Inco
which  are currently exercisable and no exercise of warrants
and   options   held  by  any  other  persons,   Inco   owns
approximately  5.7% of the Company's Common Stock.   Richard
L.  Guido  currently serves on the Board and was elected  as
the Inco representative.

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

                (a)   Clark owns 27,264,854 shares of Common
Stock  which  is 34.8% of the outstanding and issued  Common
Stock of the Company.

                Although Clark is a party to certain  voting
agreements  more  specifically described in  Item  4,  Clark
disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares of Common Stock
owned by the other parties to those agreements and disclaims
the  existence of a "group" within the meaning  of   Section
13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

                (b)   Clark  has sole power  to  dispose  of
27,264,854  shares  of  Common Stock  subject  to  the  1990
Voting  Agreement which currently requires Clark  to  obtain
Inco's  consent  because he and the other  parties  to  that
agreement  currently own less than 50%  of  the  outstanding
stock  and  subject  to  the  1992  voting  Agreement  which
requires Clark to obtain consent for dispositions unless the
transferee  agrees to be bound by the 1992 Voting  Agreement
or  the disposition is pursuant to an agreement in effect on
August 12, 1992.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the
1992  Voting Agreement and the 1990 Voting Agreement,  Clark
has  the  sole  power to vote 27,264,854  shares  of  Common
Stock.

                (c)   On January 14, 1997, Clark transferred
1,000,000 shares of  Common Stock to each of Alan C.  Stormo
("Stormo") and D.W. Pettyjohn ("Pettyjohn").  The purpose of
the  reported  disposition  was  to  fulfill  a  contractual
obligation to sell 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock to  each
of   Stormo  and  Pettyjohn in exchange for  their  contract
right  to  receive  proceeds from  the  Company's  Rangeview
Metropolitan  District  water  rights  project   ("Rangeview
Project")   in   the   event   their   investment   in   the
Rangeview Project did not generate a profit within a certain
period  of   time.   These  call  options   "Options")  were
previously reported by Clark at Item 6 of his Schedule  13D,
Amendment No. 1

Page 4 of  6
<PAGE>

  ("Amendment No. 1"), and the Option agreement was filed as
Exhibit D thereto.  The Options vested           pursuant to
their  terms on July 29, 1996, and were exercised in October
1996, resulting in the transfer by Clark on January 14, 1997
of  1,000,000 shares of Common Stock to each of  Stormo  and
Pettyjohn.   In  exchange for the transferred shares,  Clark
received  Stormo's and Pettyjohn's rights to receive  up  to
$400,000 of proceeds from the Company's Rangeview Project.

               (d)  None.

               (e)  Not applicable.

Item   6.     Contracts,  Arrangements,  Understandings   or
Relationships with Respect to                     Securities
of the Issuer.

                See Item 5(b) above for a description of the
1992 Voting Agreement and the 1990 Voting Agreement.
