<br />3431 <br /> <br />Colorado Springs. An agreement has been reached with those responsible <br />for the Fryingpan-Arkansas project providing for joint use of some facil- <br />ities by the two projects. The initial Homestake development will deplete <br />the flow of the Colorado River by 25,000 acre-feet annually. A water right <br />has been acquired for a future expansion of the project. The expansion is <br />mentioned later under "Other Potential Developments." <br /> <br />Bostwick Park <br /> <br />Construction of the Bostwick Park project in west-central Colorado <br />is scheduled to begin in 1966. The project was authorized September 2, <br />1964, as a participating project by Public Law 88-568. It will include <br />the Silver Jack Reservoir on Cimarron Creek to provide water for irriga- <br />tion, recreation, and fish propagation. The 6,110 acres that will be ir- <br />rigated include 1,610 acres of full service and 4,500 acres of supplemental <br />service land. The Bostwick Park Water Conservancy District will be the <br />contracting, administrative, and operating agency for the project. The <br />project will deplete the flow of the Colorado River by an average of 4,000 <br />acre-feet annually. <br /> <br />Fruitland Mesa <br /> <br />The Fruitland Mesa project was authorized September 2, 1964, by Public <br />Law 88-568. Definite plan studies are currently underway. It will develop <br />flows of Soap, Curecanti, and Crystal Creeks--tributaries of the GUlUlison <br />River--~or irrigation, fish and wildlife, and recreational purposes. The <br />project will provide a full irrigation supply for 16,520 acres and a sup- <br />plemental supply for 6,930 acres. The Fruitland Mesa Water Conservancy <br />District has been formed as a contracting organization. The project will <br />deplete the flow of the Colorado River by an average of 28,000 acre-feet <br />annually. <br /> <br />Savery-Pot Hook <br /> <br />TIle Savery-Pot Hook project in Colorado and Wyoming is the third <br />participating project authorized by Public Law 88-568 dated September 2, <br />1964. Definite plan studies are underway. The project will develop the <br />unused flows of Little Snake River and its tributaries--Savery Creek from <br />the north and Slater Creek from the south--for irrigation, recreation, <br />and fish and wildlife purposes. A total of 19,110 acres will be irrigated <br />in Colorado, including 15,740 acres with no present water supply and 3,370 <br />acres in need of supplemental water. The Colorado portion of the project <br />will deplete the flow of the Colorado River by an average of 26,000 acre- <br />feet annually. <br /> <br />3 <br />
