<br />.... <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />FINAL - 12/10/82 <br /> <br />NARROWS FACT SHEET NO. 2 <br />DEW1BER 1982 <br /> <br />Flood control storage capacity at Narrows Reservoir will be reduced, and the <br /> <br /> <br />Union Pacific Railroad will be relocated around the south side of the <br /> <br />project as previously planned. <br /> <br />These decisions were reached as part of preconstruct ion activities started <br /> <br /> <br />earlier this year. Activity was resumed in response to the House Appropriations <br /> <br /> <br />Committee which directed that "With available funds, the Bureau of Reclamation <br /> <br /> <br />should conduct appraisal work and final design work on the Narrows Unit, Colorado, <br /> <br /> <br />to ready the project for construction." <br /> <br />A second addendum to the DPR (Definite Plan Report) is now being prepared and <br />is scheduled to be completed during fall 1983. It will contain the updated <br />project plan and economic and financial data. <br /> <br />Flood ConttolStorage <br /> <br /> <br />The flood control pool will be reduced from 475,000 acre-feet to 233,000 acre-feet. <br /> <br /> <br />The 75,000 acre-foot joint-use pool will also be eliminated. The reduction in <br /> <br /> <br />space will regulate a flood estimated to have a reoccurrence interval of once <br /> <br /> <br />every 25 years instead of every 100 years as proposed in the 1976 plan. <br /> <br />By regulating the 25-year flood, the project will achieve most of the benefits <br />associated with regulating the 100-year flood. <br />
