Mr. Felix L. Sparks, Director,
Colorado Water Conservation Board
212 State Office Building
Denver 2, Colorado
Dear Sparks:
This letter summarizes the meeting held in this offic~
on June 30 to consider requirements for municipal' and industrial
water from Ruedi Reservoir, the value of such use, and other
matters concerning the report now under preparation on RuedL.:Dam
and Reservoir. Those attending were:
Felix L. Sparks,'Colorado Water Conservation Boa~.
Laren D. Morrill,'Colorado Water Conservation Board.
William H. Nelson, Colorado Water Conservation Board.
Philip P. Smith, Colorado River Water Conservation District.
Russell J. Cameron, Cameron & Jones,' Inc., Denver.
J. L. Ogilvie, Bureau of Reclamation, Region 7.
N. P. Dugan, Bureau of Reclamation, Denver.
Read L~ Black~ Bureau of Reclamation~ Grand Junction.
J. M. Barrett, Bureau of Reclamation, Pueblo.
Harold L. Davis, Bureau of Reclamation, Region 7.
Leo J. Gamble, Bureau of Reclamation, Region 7.
W. C. Fagerquist, Bureau of Reclamation, Pueblo.
Prior to the meeting, advance copies of the report of
Cameron & Jones~ Inc., had been forwarded to the Bureau representatives for their review. Also several days prior to the meeting, this report and the determination of benefit values for municipal and industrial water were discussed in Grand Junction.
Mr. Cameron explained the background of his studies and
asked for any suggestions or comments on his conclusions. You
asked specificallY for comments regarding hydrologic factors such
as total requirements and consumptive use data. During the course
of the discussion., it was suggested that the Cameron report contain a limited amount of additional information in support of the
estimated consumptive use at the rate of 300 gallons per capita
per day. Data on other western ci tie.s might be reviewed and
selected for inclusion in the report. Also it was suggested the
communities like Grand 'Junction in the same climatic zone should
be considered for support of this point.

 Mr. Sparks, Denver, Colorado - page 2
Another item discussed was the estimated return flow from
municipal and industrial uses. Mr. Cameron's estimate appeared
somewhat low to some of the representatives at the meeting. Mr.
Cameron explained that the water used in the oil shale industry ,
would be recirculated and almost wholly used. Normal return flows,
however, would be expected from municipal use. Averaging of these
two factors resulted in the estimate contained in the report. In
this connection, the effect of return flows on water quality in
the Colorado River was considered. It was·pointed out that the
water diverted for municipal and industrial use would be treated
to remOVe hardness and salts normally in the river water and that
return flows probably would be of better quality than the raw
water; therefore, it was concluded that it would not be necessary
to expand the report to include a discussion of water quality. It
was recognized that this subject could arise in review of the report by the affected states or in testimony before Congress.
The forecast contained in the report for a substantial
amount of oil shale development by 1975 and a relatively large
urban development was considered. Mr. Cameron exp~ained that the
forecast was an "educated guess" based upon information now available in the petroleum industry and forecasts relative to domestic
oil production and consumption and to oil imports from foreign
countries. You stated that as much as $50,000,000 had been spent
in experimental work or invested in acquisDion of property for
future oil shale development and that interested companies had
filed with the State for water rights. You suggested that the
Cameron report be amplified on these two points which would lend
further support to the 1975 forecast.
Since Ruedi Dam and Reservoir would have an economic
life of more than 100 years and considering the usual repayment
period of 50 years, it was suggested that the Cameron report contain sqme estimate of expanding needs for municipal and industrial "
water after 1975. On this point, if the rate of population growth
on ,the western slope is equal to the normal population growth anticipated for the country as a whole, it could very well exceed the
requirements that could be met by the yield of water from Ruedi
Reservoir.
Mr. Cameron indicated that he could revise his report in
accordance with the' foregoing suggestions within the next week or
10 days and make copies available to you. In turn, you would forward them to the Bureau representatives for their use in preparation
of the Bureau report.' It was agreed that the Cameron report, when
accepted by the State, would be used as appended material to the
Bureau's report on Ruedi Dam and Reservoir.

 Mr. Sparks, Denver, Colorado - page 3
You assigned the work of determining the benefits or
values for municipal and industrial water to an existing "Shale
Oil Committee" of the Colorado Hater Conservation Board. Messrs.
Morrill, Nelson, and Smith, who attended the meeting, Mr. Clifford
Jex, and others of the western slope are ~embers of this committee.
It was agreed that the State, through this committee, would be
responsible for determining these values. To facilitate the committee's work, however, the Grand Junction office of the Bureau
of Reclamation will make available to the committee all pertinent
basic hydrologic and engineering data on file or in reports in
the Grand Junction office. Various approaches to determinatio~ of
municipal and industrial water benefits were discussed. After: some
consideration of the idea of purchasing Grand Valley water rights"
it was suggested that this alternative would not be practicable nor
reasonable as it would result in harmful effects on the existing
western slope economy. Therefore, exploration would be made of
costs of alternative single-purpose reservoirs at most economic
locations as a basis for evaluating these benefits. Since the
sites of alternatives are theoretical, it would be satisfactory to
postUlate a single-purpose dam and reservoir at the Ruedi site or
any other site. Such single-purpose alternatives also should be
estimated on the basis of the absence of other'possible functions'
of Ruedi'Dam and Reservoir, such as irrigation, power, fish and
wildlife" _etc.
It was agreed that the Oil Shale Committee's report on
municipal and industrial water values, when accepted-by the State,
would be, used as an appendix to the Ruedi Report and, together with
Mr. Cameron's report, would provide information for use in a summary
chapter on municipal and industrial water in the Bureau's report.
Mr. Black of the Bureau's office in Grand Junction accepted the
responsibility for drafting this chapter, which will summarize the
State's findings on municipal and industrial water needs, requirements and values.

Mr. Phil Smith explained hydrologic studies that he was
making to determine the pattern of municipal and industrial water
requirements in relation to flows in the Colorado River and indicated'that about 37,000 acre-feet of storage capacity would be
needed in a critical year. You advised the group that Mr. Smith
was also developing studies on irrigation of the Cattle Creek Unit
(Basalt Project) and would prepare a report for the State which would
also be used as appended material to the Bureau's report. The Bureau cannot at this time endorse any proposals for irrigation of the
Cattle Creek Unit as no adequate investigations have been made.
Subsequent to the meeting" which adjourned about 11: 30
A. M., Mr. Gamble felt there was a need to compare hydrologic
studies being made by Mr. Smith and the operation studies recently

completed by the Bureau to assure consistency in basic approach
and assumptions so as to safeguard against possible delay or serious
inconsistencies in the Ruedi Report. The operation studies prepared by this office cover the years 1929 to 1948 and were based
on assumed releases from the reservoir to meet downstream ves'ted
rights, replacement requirements, and minimum fish flows supple-,
mented'as required for power. It was assumed that such total releases, being on a fairly uniform basis, would generally meet,
municipal and industrial water requirements. These operation
,studies have been forwarded to the Corps of Engineers, the Fish
and Wildlife Service, the State Game and Fish Commission, and the
National Park Service for use in their evaluation of benefits to
these functions. The operation studies' reflect a plan of opera'-,
tion for municipal and industrial water, fish and wildlife, flood
control, recreation, and possibly ,power production. In accordance
with the meeting in Denver on April 22 and 23 and our letter to
the Commissioner on May 1, 1959, the most likely basis for showing justification of Ruedi Dam and Reservoir would be for these
purposes. It is planned, therefore, to discuss the physical
,
potentialities of irrigation in the "Bureau's report as an alternative plan of operation. According to our analysis of the hydrologic aspects and storage capacity of Ruedi Reservoir, it is probably that western slope replacement needs, municipal and industrial water requirements for 1975 as estimated by Mr. Cameron, and
water for irrigation of the Basalt Project cannot be met from Ruedi
Reservoir with a storage capacity of 100,000 acre-feet without resulting in intolerable shortages. Messrs. Gamble and Barrett dis':'
cussed this problem with you and Mr. Smith during the afternoon of
June 30 and arranged to refer the problem to the others in this
office who attended the meeting.
On July 1, Messrs. Honnold, Gamble, and Davis of this
office discussed this problem with Mr. Dugan of the Projects InvestigationDivision. One solution involves the full exchange of
data and hydrologic studies between Messrs. Smith and Gamble and
acceptance of rilir. Smith's data on pattern of reservoir releases to
meet municipal and industrial water requirements, since i't has been
previously agr~ed that the determination of these requirements and
releases would be a State responsibility.
In' this case it would be'necessary to revise our operation studies, described previously, so as to reflect the pattern
of releases established by the State. This type of operation probably would rule out the feasibility of a small powerplant at the
toe of the dam provided such feasibility proved out on,other
gr0t+nds. It would also be necessary to forward revised operation
studies to the Corps of Engineers, the State Game and Fish Commission, the Fish and Wildlife Service, and the National Park Service
for their use in evaluati~g benefits that may accrue to those purposes. This course of action would result in delar of completion

of the report considerably beyond August 30 and in all probability
the report could'not be reviewed and forwarded to the Congress early
next session when it is anticipated to introduce authorizing legis-"
lation on the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project. Moreover, funds ":may not'
be available to meet costs of such extensive revision.
,
' As our recommended alternative, it is suggested that the
State review the operation studies prepared by the Bureau to deter'mine whether the assumed releases for Ruedi Reservoir could not be
considered to be adequate to meet municipal and industrial water
demands in the light of the reconnaissance nature of the report.
If a selected plan of operation of the reservoir as contemplated in
our letter of May 1 to the Commissioner results in showing a favorable benefit-cost ratio, the principal purpose of the report would
appear to be accomplished and there would be no foreclosure upon
future adoption of a more beneficial, alternative operating plan.
With respect to the time schedule of the report, it was
emphasized that all basic studies and drafts of material should be
co~pleted by July' 31 so the month of August would be available for
drafting, editing, and duplication of the report. We will ascertain the requirements of the Bureau for copies of the completed
report and will advise you of the quantity of reports and printing
specifications so that you may arrange for duplication of copies
of the appended materials for inclusion in the report.
Very truly yours,

COLORADO WATER CONSERVATION BOARD
212 State Office Building
Denver 2, Colorado
July 2, 1959
Mr. J. L. Ogilvie, Asst. Regional Director,
Region 7, Bureau of Reclamation;
Bldg. 46, Denver Federal Center,
Denver, Colorado.
Dear Sir:
I have reviewed in detail the contents of your letter
dated July 2, 1959, setting forth a summary of the meeting of
June 30, 1959, relative to the pending report on the FryingpanArkansas project.
I wish to emphasize at the outset that it was the
original contemplation of the State of Colorado that the storage capacity of Ruedi Reservoir be utilized for joint municipal,
industrial, and irrigation uses. This established policy· by the
State has not been modified to any degree. We, of course, recognize that the capacity of Ruedi Reservoir will eventually be
totally inadequate for all these purposes. However, the contemplated West Divide project will be able to supply some of the
future deficiency.
The Colorado River Water Conservation District of
Colorado has accomplished considerable work on its proposed
Basalt project. In its approval of Ruedi Reservoir for inclusion in the Fryingpan-Arkansas project, the District relied upon
part of the storage capacity of Ruedi for irrigation of the. Cattle
Creek and Sopris areas. No other adequate source of supply is
available. The reservoir operation plan under study by the District anticipates the annual release from Ruedi storage of 37,000
acre feet of water for municipal and industrial·uses, with the
balance being allocated to irrigation and replacement purposes.
.
Neither time nor finances have permitted detailed feasibility
studies. However, we anticipate and expect that such studies
will be programed and carried out by the Bureau of Reclamation
within the near future.

l

It is our understanding of the supplemental report
that it's primary purpose is to justify the economic feasibility
of Ruedi Reservoir without establishing an actual operating plan.
With that consideration in mind and considering the time limitation we concur in the operation studies prepared by your office
in that such operation studies are adequate to meet municipal and
industrial demands. This concurrence is with the specific understanding that the report will emphasize the definite possibility

of future irrigation uses in accordance with the established policy
of the State of Colorado.
As set forth in your letter, the State of Colorado will
prepare and forward to you prior to July 31, 1959, certain appendices to your report as follows:
1.

A report on the anticipated water requirements for
the shale oil industry now being completed by Cameron
and Jones, Inc.

2.

A report on the benefits and values of municipal and
industrial water for the shale oil industry, based
upon a single purpose dam at Ruedi or any alternative
site. This report will be prepared by Messrs. Philip
P. Smith, Clifford H. Jex and Laren D. Morrill.

3.

A report on the potential use of irrigation water for
the Basalt project. This report will be prepared by
Mr. Philip P. Smith.

In addition to the potential use of irrigation water
for the Basalt project ·it is our understanding that Region 4 of
the Bureau of Reclamation will prepare a summary of the potential
use of Ruedi water on the Bluestone project, based upon the recon'·
naissance data now available.
With such clarification as herein set forth we feel
that. your letter of this date accurately sets forth the result of
our conference of June 30th. We are extremely appreciative of the
continuing_ efforts of your office towards accomplishing the preparation of the supplemental report on the Fryingpan-Arkansas
project by the end of this August. You can be assured that the·
State of Colorado will continue to be of every possible assistance.
Very truly yours,
