After a brief discussion of the annual audit, it was decided that because it was received just prior to the start of the meeting, the Board would take action on the audit at the next meeting. The subject of the administrative and construction mill levies was discussed at length. The possibility of requesting the Legislature to increase the mill levy limits was discussed.

Rocky Mountain Power Company can appeal to the U. S. Supreme Court but a favorable ruling for them is unlikely. Counsel also mentioned that he had received a letter from the President of the Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District concerning the possibility of making replacement from Troublesome Creek for Homestake Creek transmountain diversions.

Mr. Williams said that the State's water statutes going to be revised and that while there are special problems in eastern Colorado in the South Platte and Arkansas River Basin$, the Legislature is not going to draft one set of statutes for the South Platte and Arkansas and another set for the Colorado River and the western slope. He said that there is going to be one set of statutes for the State and the present statutes are going to be changed. Mr. Williams commented further that if counsel and staff of the District comment or present testimony on the legislation, it should be at the direction of the Board. Following further discussion, the meeting was adjourned for luncheon. The meeting was reconvened at 1 :30 P. M. with President A. Allen Brown presiding. President Brown requested further comment on the problem of the Yellow Jacket Project and lands proposed for mitigation of wildlife values. Counsel commented that the proposed Yellow Jacket Project feasibility report included -4- a request by the Colorado Game, Fish and Parks Department and the Bureau of Game, Fish and Wildlife that the project defray $900, 000 of cost for acquisition of privately owned lands for wildlife. Mr. Robins commented that the Bureau of Reclamation, Region 4, is working with interested parties on this problem, hoping to arrive at a mutually acceptable solution. Mr. Robins mentioned that with this cost and the proposed change in interest rates, the benefit cost ratio on the Yellow Jacket Project would drop to approximately 1. 06. Mr. Bob Raley, Chairman of the Yellow Jacket Water Conservation District at Meeker, discussed the problem in some detail and stated that the request for lands for wildlife to be paid for out of the project is not a bonafide request. Mr. commented that the Game and Fish Department did not show that there had been damage at all. After additional comment by Mr. Hugh Caldwell; Mr. Robins, Projects Manager, Bureau of Reclamation, Grand Junction;/ Mr. Bob Raley; Mr. James Pughe; Mr. Kenneth Balcomb and the Secretary-Engineer, Mr. Armstrong, Assistant Regional Director, Bureau of Reclamation, Region 4, mentioned that there are a little under $6 billion worth of projects that have been authorized for construction by the Bureau of Reclamation and that this is the largest backlog of projects in the Bureau's history and that there is going to be intense competition for construction funds. The Bureau's proposed feasibility report was circulated to get people's ideas and comments; after all the comments are received, the report will be finalized. After appropriate review, the report is submitted to the President and Congress. Then it is up to the local people and their Congressmen to get the project through the Congress and fund it. For a project to be funded, it must have unified backing. Without the support at the local level there may not be financing. Mr. Delaney MOVED, seconded by Mr. Gerbaz that legal and engineering staff be authorized to cooperate with the Bureau of Reclamation and other agencies to see what can be done towards working out a solution to this problem and to report back to the Board at the upcoming special meeting. Upon vote the motion was carried . After discussion, Mr. Gerbaz MOVED, seconded by Mr. Knorr to authorize counsel and staff to work with the Middle Park Conservancy District, as necessary, towards a mutually satisfactory solution to the Ute Park Reservoir problem, so far as this District is concerned. The motion was voted upon and declared carried. President Brown then requested the results of the caucuses for appointments to the Executive Committee. Executive Committee members selected for the year 19 69 were: Hugh L. Caldwell, representing the Yampa-White division; Purvis C. Vickers, representing the Upper Gunnison Ba sin; Anthony W. Williams, representing Mesa County; Karl H. Knorr, representing Grand, Summit and Eagle Counties; Orest A. Gerbaz, representing Pitkin and Garfield Counties; A. Allen -5- Brown, representing Ouray, Montrose and Delta Counties. President Brown requested that Mr. Robins present the Bureau of Reclamation's report. Mr. Robins asked that Mr. Armstrong give the general part of the report of Region 4's activities. Mr. Armstrong reported that anticipated runoff at this time is 88-89% of normal; that this presents a problem in meeting Lee's Ferry commitments in the next 4 years. The Bureau plans to release about 8. 8 million acre feet to the lower basin in 19 69, leaving approximately 35 million acre feet to be released in the next 4 years. He reported the rated head at Flaming Gorge will be increased by about 2 feet by the end of the spring runoff and at the end of the year it will be down about 9 feet. Blue Mesa Reservoir should be at capacity by the end of the spring runoff. Concerning the power marketing, the sale of power is nearly $19,000,000 a year. Last year power revenues generated a surplus for the first time above operation and maintenance costs of about $ 850, 000. A critical period is during the next 4 years when more power will be needed. At this time 4 billion kilowatt hours annually are being generated and transmitted over 1350 miles of transmission lines. Mr. Armstrong also commented on the 4 5/8% interest rate to be used in planning water projects; he said there are alot of benefits from projects that are not being properly evaluated but that should be included. Mr. Robins presented his report, which is included here as Appendix 11 G 11 • There followed discussion on the Ute Park Reservoir, the effect of the change of interest rates, and the rate at which the Bureau of Reclamation sells power to contract purchasers . President Brown asked if there was a report from the Colorado Water Conservation Board. There being no one present to give the report from the Colorado Water Conservation .Board, President Brown asked Mr. John Hughes if he had a statement to make to the Board. Mr. Hughes discussed House Bill 1072 in the State Legislature concerning interest rates on bonds. After discussion, Mr. Hughes MOVED, Mr. Delaney seconded that the Board approve House Bill 1072 and urge the Colorado legislators to pass it at the earliest possible time. The motion was voted upon and declared carried. President Brown then asked for comments from visitors. Mr. Rath commented that it is important that something be done to encourage construction of some of the River District's projects and that it behooves all concerned to encourage development of plans that will result in applying the water to beneficial use. Mr. Cramer discussed the Rangely Project and its potential value in development of coal reserves in the vicinity of Rangely. Mr. Ballard also -6- commented on this subject. There followed a discussion and questions and answers concerning Moon Lake Electric Association and its marketing area as related to the Rangely Project and a potential thermal electric plant to utilize Moon Lake's coal and water from Rangely Reservoir. Mr. William Prather discussed the District's proposed filing on Long Point Reservoir, which is in the vicinity of his filing on Roan Creek Reservoir on Roan Creek. It was confirmed that the motion in the October 19 68 Board Meeting directing the Secretary-Engineer to make the Long Point Reservoir filing still stands . The next order of business was approval of bills paid by the President and Secretary subsequent to October 1 5, 19 68. Mr. Williams MOVED that the bills be approved as published. Upon second by Mr. Gerbaz, the motion was voted upon and carried. A list of these bills is attached hereto, marked Appendix ''H". President Brown then called for the reading of the current bills by the Secretary. Mr. Signs MOVED the current bills be paid, seconded by Mr. Caldwell. Upon vote the motion was carried. A list of these bills are attached hereto, marked Appendix I 11 11 • President Brown then returned to the subject of the proposed increase of the mill levy, asking the Board Members if they wanted to talk to the County Commissioners and then meet on about February 11, 19 69. Director Signs asked if it would be possible to meet before the State Water Board meeting, giving the Board a chance to cover the subjects of the Yellow Jacket Project and the pending water legislation. There was further discussion on a specific date for the meeting. President Brown then set February 1, 1969, at 10:00 A.M., as the date and time for the special meeting of the Board to discuss pending State water legislation, the increase in the levy and the Yellow Jacket Project. There being no further business to come hefore the Board, the meeting was adjourned at 4:10 P.M. ATTEST: -7- RESOLUTION OF APPRECIATION to Judge Robert G. Porter WHEREAS, Judge Porter has served for 15 years on the Board of Directors of the Colorado River Water Conservation District and has served the District with distinction as a Board Member on many important committee assignments; and, WHEREAS, Judge Porter has always given unstintingly of his time and effort in support of water conservation, particularly in Western Colorado; and, WHEREAS, Judge Porter felt it necessary to retire after many years of service to the State of Colorado, Gunnison County and the Colorado River Water Conservation District and submitted his resignation as the .

THUL50N EDWARD AREA CODE 303 January A5SOCIA.f£S : .JOHN MULHALL, .JR . 1969 Mr. A. Allen Brown, President The Colorado River Water Conservation District Glenwood Springs, Colorado Dear Mr. Brown: In accordance with our past practice, we submit herewith in letter form our quarterly report to you covering in a general fashion activities of counsel since the October 15, 1968 meeting of and report to the Board. As the Board is already aware, an agreement has been reached between the District and the Aspen Metropolitan Sewer District concerning the site conflicts in the basin of Paepcke Reservoir. The agreement has been approved by the Executive Committee of the Board subject to approval of the whole Board. I have a resolution prepared on the matter for your consideration, and recommend approval of the agreement. Additionally, I now need authority to withdraw the appeal to the Colorado Supreme Court. Since the last meeting we have had two meetings of the Frying Pan-Arkansas Commission regarding the Busk-Ivanhoe {Carleton Tunnel) diversion and problems relating to Ruedi Reservoir. The High Line Canal Company, an eastern slope irrigation company near Rocky Ford, Colorado, owns a collection system (called Busk-Ivanhoe) and a transmountain diversion tunnel called Carleton Tunnel in the headwaters of tributaries of the Frying Pan River. Their facilities are all above the collection system for the diversion to the eastern slope for the Frying Pan-Arkansas project. The historical annual average of depletion by the Busk-Ivanhoe diversion is 4386 acre feet of water. APPENDIX 11 /J" Page 2 Mr. A. Allen Brown January 21, 1969 We were advised by Washington, D. C. counsel that Mr. Dominy, commissioner of Reclamation, had forwarded to the Secretary of the Interior a proposed contract to transport and store BuskIvanhoe water through Fry-Ark project tunnels and in eastern slope reservoir. The Bureau estimated that had Fry-Ark facilities been avQilable and used during the 1945-65 period, that the BuskIvanhoe depletion would have averaged 6900 acre feet. Through this same period of history the actual annual depletion was 4861 acre feet. We promptly protested to the Secretary the execution of any such contract without the approval of the Fry-Ark Commission, and as a consequence of this protest, the matter was referred to the coinrnission. As a commission member, I had two principle problems with the contract, and as counsel for this Board, I protested the use of the Federal facilities for this purpose as :being contrary to the operating principles and the legislation. First, I was afraid the contract would allow the tunnel owners to use the Fry-Ark facilities for their water, and contract with others for use of the tunnel for additional transmountain diversions. This was solved by subtracting from Federal carriage and storage the amount of water carried through the Busk-Ivanhoe tunnel over and above the amount naturally available to the BuskIvanhoe collection system. Second, the contract allowed the Bureau to dump Busk-Ivanhoe water in storage whenever the space was needed for project water. Practically, it only meant that Busk-Ivanhoe water would be converted to project water rather than releasing it. The contract was changed to clearly spell this out by forbidding a release which would reach the state line. Page 3 Mr. A. Allen Brown January 21, 1969 Finally, I was convinced there was an intention at the time of passage of the Fry-Ark legislation to carry and store Busk-Ivanhoe water, . so my o -.,.erall objection failed. I doubt this intention was disclosed to Western Slope representatives. On Reudi, the Bureau is studying our suggestion to turn over to this District the operation of the reservoir. We have been watching rather closely the progress of the pending Colorado water legislation, and have made numerous objections. First, we have objected to change merely for the sake of change. Second, we have objected to certain suggestions as being either expensive, substituted or radical changes in law, or totally unne c essary. Included in your is a copy of a Memorandum dated January 13, 1969 prepared by Mr. Sparks directed to the Colorado Water Conservation Board which is summarized in the eight bills presented to the legislature. I think it appropriate that this Board take some action either for or against this legislation. Initially, the situation on the South Plate and Arkansas Rivers where junior we1ls in the alluvium were depriving senior direct flow diversion of their water rights brought about the need for some kind of corrective legislation. This need has now been laid to rest by the recent Supreme_ Court decision in the Fellhauer case. The language used by the legislation in 1967, however, directs review of the existing water law · to determine its sufficienl°:y and the need for modification, if any, to achieve maximum utilL,:a ·:·::.on of our water resources. Using this as a spring board eight bills were pre s ented to the legislation, the combined effect of which will be to completely change procedures now familiar to ali of us. I will be glad to discuss these proposals in some detail. Page 4 Mr. A. Allen Brown January 21, 1969 The regional director of Region 4 of the Bureau of Reclamation is presently circulating his proposed feasibility report on the Yellow Jacket Project. The Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife and the Colorado Game, Fish and Parks Department have demanded that the water users under the project replace game winter range lost as a result of the irrigation of additional private lands through the project. The estimated cost is $900,000.00 for the lands to be purchased as such replacement, and though this item alone will not render this project infeasible from a benefit-cost ratio, it, together with interest raises, could very well render the project infeasibile. The supposed authorization for this type of requirement comes from Public Law 89-72 passed by Congress in 1965. A copy of this law is in your folder, and I cannot see that it ·justifies such a proposal as is set forth in the Yellow Jacket report. It may be that the Board will desire to take some action on this matter. The owners of the Consolidated Reservoir desire to enlarge its storage to provide them with additional irrigation water. Such enlargement would be, in part, in competition with the Basalt Project for water. The proposed enlargement of the reservoir would not be feasible, unless this Distriact, as the holder of the Basalt Project water rights would agree to suboordinate its rights on West Coulter Creek to the enlarged Consolidated Reservoir. I have prepared a resolution on this matter for the Boards consideration. Climax Molybdenum desires to obtain from Middle Park Water Conservancy District the Ute Park reservoir decree. This district, with Middle Park, presently has proceedings pending before the Supreme court of Colorado with regard to Middle Park and Denver rights on the Williams Fork river. It is requested that this Board authorize your Secretary-Engineer and counsel to negotiate an agreement with Climax concerning the Ute Park Reservoir and the dismissal of the presently pending appeals to the Supreme Court of Colorado. We are making definite progress toward an agreement ·o n Rangely Reservoir with one of the major oil compa1d.es interested in oil shale. Page 5 Mr. A. Allen Brown January 21, -1969 In the company of Mr. Fischer and several Board members, I attended the River Water Users Association meeting in Las Vagas, Nevada, and much was accomplished in meetings with various persons there. Very truly yours, Counsel for Colorado River Water Conservation District. KB/b QUARTERLY REPORT of ROLAND C. FISCH ER, Secretary- Engineer to the BOARD OF DIRECTORS COLORADO RIVER WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT January 21 , 19 69 Gentlemen: This report is a summary of some of the District's work in which I have been active since the Board meeting on October 15, 19 68. Several categories are discussed. SNOWMASS PROJECT-ASPEN METROPOLITAN SANITATION DISTRICT There was a motion passed at the October 15, 1968 meeting that counsel and secretary-engineer should negotiate for a solution of this problem with representatives of the Aspen Metropolitan Sanitation District. Meetings were held in October and November. A form of contract was agreed upon and sent to Board Members. This item was discussed by Board Members who attended the Colorado River Water Users Association meeting at Las Vegas, Nevada on December 12, 1968. Mr. President, we will need a motion on this matter. Also associated with this same matter, there was a motion at the October 15, 19 68 meeting directing that a report be prepared on lowering the dam height on the Paepcke Forebay. That report, dated January 9, 1969, has been sent to each Board Member; due to staff illness the map to accompany that report was prepared later and is included in Board Members folders. CITY OF ASPEN The City Manager of Aspen has expressed_an interest in discussing the possibility of working with this District on the proposed Ashcroft Reservoir on Castle Creek as a potential source of future water for the City and its surrounding area. Aspen also has a claim for a reservoir on Castle Creek, which is junior to the District's Ashcroft Reservoir. SINCLAIR OIL CORPORATION We have received a letter from Sinclair Oil Corporation expressing their continued interest in the District's proposed Toponas Reservoir. Sinclair has oil shale lands near Grand Valley and would require a reliable source of industrial water. APPENDIX II c II MOON LAKE ELECTRIC ASSOCIATION We have received a letter from E. J. Ballard, Jr., General Manager of Moon Lake Electric Association, expressing interest in the District's proposed Rangely Reservoir on the White River. M·o on Lake has coal leases and prospecting permits in the vicinity of the reservoir site and is investigating a thermal electric plant that could use water from that reservoir. Moon Lake representatives are scheduled to be here today and have asked to make some comments later. BLUESTONE PROJECT In cooperation with the Bureau of Reclamation, Grand Junction .Office, a point of diversion for the Kobe Pumping Plant Canal in Water District 70 was surveyed on December 3, 19 68. MEETINGS Since October 15th, I have represented the District at several meetings; some of them of interest to the Board are: October 18, 1968 Attended, with counsel, the Western Missouri Ba sin Operations Meeting. October 24 and December 6, 19 6'8 The Fryingpan-Arkansas Commission meeting in Denver re: Busk-Ivanhoe Tunnel contract. November 8, 19 68 Met with Humble Oil & Refining Company, re: Iron Mountain Reservoir. November 12, 19 68 Met with Central Colorado Water Conservancy District and Congressman Aspinall and Felix Sparks in Denver, concerning the possibility of increased transmountain diversions from Denver Dillon Reservoir for the Central District. November 13, 19 68 Attended Colorado Water Conservation Board meeting in Denver. November 14, 19 68 Presented statement: Legislative Council Committee on Water; re: proposed water law revisions. A copy of statement was sent to all Board Members. November 18, 19 68 Met with principals of Paradise Oil, Water, Land Development, Inc. -2- November 19-22 19 68 Attended National Reclamation Association meeting in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and met with Floyd Dominy, Commissioner of Reclamation; and other officials in the Bureau of Reclamation November 27, 19 68 Colorado Water Congress meeting in Grand Junction covering water law revisions December 3 0, 1968 Atlantic Richfield Company representatives concerning interest in Rangely Reservoir January 3, 19 69 Met with Getty Oil Company representatives and attorneys in Grand Junction concerning the investigation of the possibility of forming a subdistrict January 7, 1969 Attended Basalt Water Conservancy District meeting. January 14, 1969 Committees of the Colorado Water Congress January 1 5 , 1 9 6 9 Colorado Water Conservation Board meeting in Denver where the proposed changes in Colorado's water law were discussed;. they will be discussed again at a special meeting February 5th. The Legislative Committee will also be holding hearings where counsel and staff will probably testify. The Board may want to give instructions on this matter . Al so on January 15th I met with the President of Paradise Oil, Land, Water Development, Inc. Paradise representatives have said they will be here and have asked for time to make comments later. DISTRICT OFFICES Remodeling of the third floor of this building, including the District's Office space, is scheduled to begin this coming . spring. IRON MOUNTAIN RESERVOIR In preparation for our appearance before the Federal Power Commission in association with our preliminary power permit, a pump storage study is underway. It is anticipated that counsel and I will go to Washington, D. C. to discuss this matter with the Federal Power Commission prior to the April Board meeting. On January 14, 19 69 I met with U. S. Geological Survey personnel in Denver concerning restoration of power site withdrawals reconsidered in one of their reports. Iron -3- Mountain Reservoir darn site and basin lands are being retained in withdrawn status. POTENTIAL SUBDISTRICT To help protect waters of the Colorado and White Rivers, counsel and staff are investigating the possibility of a formation of a subdistrict. The subdistrict would relate to the subsurface minerals, especially oil shale and coal. Its boundary would possibly be geological as opposed to a surface boundary. This subdistrict would necessarily be concerned with the potential future use of water for municipal and industrial purposes. It is being investigated as a possible means of continuing due diligence on conditional decrees, especially as related to transrnountain diversions. POSSIBLE REVISION OF DISTRICT LEGISIATION Although only this Board can increase the tax levied to support the District's work, there is a statutory limitation on the amount of tax that can be levied and we are presently at the statutory limitation for both administrative and construction budgets. I recommend that this Board approve a request to the Legislature to change the upper limit to a total of 1 mill from the present 0. 2 on each, the construction and administrative budgets. If such legislation were to be passed, this Board would have flexibility to improve and increase the District's effectiveness, which it does not have now. It might be well to do this while a Western Coloradoan is Speaker of the State House of Representatives. -4- .. R E S 0 L U T I 0 N WHEREAS, The Colorado River Water Conservation District is the owner and claimant of the Snowmass Project which includes the Paepcke Forebay and Reservoir on the Roaring Fork River below the City of Aspen!

R E S 0 L U T I 0 N WHEREAS, the owners of the consolidated Reservoir, being Reservoir No. 8-B in the Decrees of the District Court of Garfield county, Colorado for Water District No. 38, desire to enlarge such reservoir to about 1,210 acre feet capacity and to enlarge their call; and WHEREAS, the reservoir is presently located on the West branch of Coulter Creek, a tributary of Cattle Creek and is present l y constructed to a capacity of 880.6 acre feet of water; and WHEREAS, this district is the owner and claimant of the water rights for the Basalt Federal Reclamation Project, which decree includes the waters of the West branch of Coulter Creek; and WHEREAS, it is impractical for said owners to proceed with the enlargement unless the decree for the Basalt Project is to whatever water right is awarded to the Consolidated Reservoir because of such enlargement; and WHEREAS, the Basalt Water Conservancy District has approved such subordination if the Bureau of Reclamation will state that such subordination will not affect the rights of the Basalt Project; and WHEREAS, the Bureau of Reclamation has stated that such submay be made without affecting project; APPENDIX II F" the feasibility of such I BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED That the President of this District is hereby authorized and directed to enter into an agreement with the owners of the Consolidated Reservoir as above stated subordinating the decrees held by this District for the Basalt Federal Reclamation Project to any decree obtained for the enlargement of said Consolidated Reservoir. REPORT BY J. W. ROBINS, BUREAU OF RECLAMATION, REGION 4 to COLORADO RIVER WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT JANUARY 21, 1969 APPENDIX II G" SAVERY-POT HOOK PROJECT Advance planning activities on the project are well advanced and work has been completed on some portions of the work. We have arranged for a meeting in Craig on March 11 to review our farm size recommendations (345 acres for Class 2, and 410 acres for Class 3) with officials of the states of Colorado and Wyoming and interests in the project area. We will also solicit opinions and suggestions on new land development and settlement at that time. Our work on this project has been delayed somewhat during the past year because of less than optimum funds. We hope to have the Definite Plan Report completed early in F.Y. 1971. FRUITLAND MESA Several meetings have been held with the District the last few months on the proposed repayment contract. On December 12, after a public meeting in Crawford, the District approved the contract as to form. The contract is now in Washington for finalization. Preconstruction work, mainly collection of data for final designs and specifications, is continuing. Initiation of construction is now scheduled for F.Y. 1971 depending upon appropriations. YELLOW JACKET PROJECT The first draft of the proposed Feasibility Report is now being reviewed by Federal, State and Local interests and their comments on the proposed report have been solicited. One of the conflicts among project interests concerning this report is the big game mitigation measures recommended by the fish and wildlife irt:erests. Their original recommendations to purchase private land for big game use is in conflict with local ranchers operations and interests in the area. We are working closely with the fish and wildlife people in developing alternate means ..t.&- 0 r protecting the big game in the area that would be more acceptable to the local project sponsors. We hope to come up with some acceptable plans in this regard in the near future. BATTLEMENT MESA PROJECT The Feasibility Report is still being reviewed and processed on the Washington level. The final report, · approved by the Secretary of Interior, should be completed by the end of F.Y. 1969. BLUESTONE PROJECT We are in the final stages of preparation of the proposed Feasibility Report on the Bluestone Project. We have just recently received tentative cost and benefit data from the other cooperating agencies and we should be able to complete a review draft of the project report by the end of F.Y. 1969 if we do not run into any conflicts. GRAND MESA PROJECT Feasibility studies are progressing well on this project comensurate with the limited funds available during the past two years. Most of the basic studies have been completed and we are now preparing designs and cost estimates on the project features and making economic evaluations of the project potentials. At a meeting we attended with the Grand Mesa District last Friday evening, they emphasized the need for additional municipal and domestic water for anticipated growth in the project area. We are adjusting our studies to provide for supplying this needed water from the project. We hope to have a draft of the Feasibility Report completed by the end of F.Y. 1970. LOWER YAMPA (JUNIPER) PROJECT We have now initiated the detailed feasibility studies on the Juniper Project after many years of support and requests by your board and the local sponsors. We are collecting basic data and plans for project development and will start detailed land classification surveys and appraisal of other project resources in the field as soon as weather permits this spring. We will need the fund contribution approved by this District and the two local districts about the first of April to cover part of the cost of this work. BASALT PROJECT We are also making good progress on the Basalt Project feasibility studies with the hopes of completing the proposed Feasibility Report in F.Y. 1971. Included in these studies will be the determination of how much water will be required from Ruedi Reservoir for the project. The determination of Fryingpan-Arkansas Project replacement requirements from Ruedi Reservoir and the allocation of Ruedi Reservoir costs will, of course, have an important bearing on these Basalt Project studies. We met with the Basalt District Board of and your Secretary-Engineer and Council two weeks ago today and reviewed our project plan and work progress with them. , .. UPPER GUNNISON PROJECT We are continuing our feasibility investigations on the Upper Gunnison Project with a goal for completion of the Feasibility Report in F.Y. 1971. We have most of our basic data, such as land classification, collection of water supply data, field surveys, preliminary geological data, and formulation of a project plan completed. We are now working on project water requirement studies, designs and estimates, and economic determinations. !:.-· BLUE MESA RESERVOIR .. A.

UNCOMPAHGRE PROJECT We are continuing coordinated planning with the Uncompahgre Valley Water Users, Upper Gunnison District, and fish and wildlife and recreation interests on the future operations of Taylor Park Reservoir. The Uncompahgre people have been very cooperative and helpful in their operation of the reservoir the past two years and we hope to work out a permanent operating plan in the near future. We are also initiating some unofficial preliminary evaluations of the Uncompahgre Project facilities, irrigation practices, and water needs, under the Comprehensive Basin Studies. Some of this data will be useful later to determine needs for improvements of the project facilities and water supplies. I STATUS OF CONSTRUCTION CURECANTI UNIT, C.R.S.P. I.
