West B1A~3 The West Divide project would regulate flows of Crystal River and other tributaries of the Colorado River to conserve an average of 193,100 acre-feet of vater annually. The supply would include 115,600 acre-feet for irrigation and 77,000 acre-feet of municipal and industrial uses as- sociated vith the potential oil shale industry. The irrigable area in- cludes 21,030 acres of supplemental service land and 18,890 acres of full service land. The project would also provide recreation and fish and wildlife benefits. The project would cost $99,800,000 of which $3,331,400 would be nonreimb1rrsable. The reimbursable balance would include $51,344,900 to be paid from power revenues apportioned to Colorado from the Colorado River Storage project and $45,123,700 would be paid by local and state interests. The project would deplete flows of the Colorado River by about 76,000 acre-feet annually. San Migue 1 The San Miguel project would develop 121,300 acre-feet of vater from the San Miguel River and tributaries in southwestern Colorado. The vater would include 44,000 acre-feet for municipal and industrial use and 77,300 acre-feet for irrigation. The land area that would be served includes 12,530 acres of supplemental service land and 26,420 acres of full service land. Benefits would be provided to fish and wildlife conservation, rec- reation, and flood control. The project would cost $69,950,000 to con- struct. Of this total cost, $3,866,000 would be nonreimbursable, $15,645,000 would be repaid by state and local interests, and the remain- ing $50,439,000 would be repaid from the Upper Colorado River Basin Fund. The project would deplete the flows of the Colorado River by 87,000 acre- feet annually. Feasibility investigations underway Battlement Mesa . The Battlement Mesa project would develop flows of Buzzard Creek to provide an average of 26,600 acre-feet of vater annually for the irriga- tion of 3,129 acres of supplemental service land and 6,561 acres of full service land. The project would also provide benefits in the fields of fish and wildlife conservation and recreation. Since appraisals of uses other than irrigation have not yet been evaluated in the current feasi- bility studies, the total project cost of $15,389,000 has tentatively been allocated to irrigation, of which $2,358,000 would be paid by local interests and $13,031,000 would be required from power revenues appor- tioned to Colorado from the Colorado River Storage project and payments by state and local entities. The project would deplete flows of the Col- orado River by about 13,000 acre-feet annually. Yellow Jacket The Yellow Jacket project would regulate flows of the White River to supply 130,100 acre-feet of vater annually including 80,100 acre-feet 5
