<br />h~, :" <br />~ ,. io; ,',:' <br /> <br />Plan of Development <br /> <br />RIGms -OF- WAY <br /> <br />Rights-of-way would be acquired in accordance with current policy. <br />The land acquisition proposed is adequate for construction and opera- <br />tion and maintenance of Narrows Dam and Reservoir and the associated <br />relocatiOns. Additional lands for recreation and fish and wildlife <br />developments at the reservoir and at existing Jackson Lake would be <br />acquired as specified by the National Park Service and the Bureau of <br />Sport Fisheries and Wildlife. <br /> <br />The small settlements of We1dona, Goodrich, and Orchard are <br />within the normal reservoir take line. These are communities with <br />populations of less than 100 that have shown little evidence of <br />development for a number of years. They are not served by community <br />water or sanitary sewer systems. <br /> <br />The Bureau of Mines studied the Narrows Dam and Reservoir sites <br />and reported that petroleum and natural gas are the only significant <br />mineral resources. The small field has shown a steady decline in <br />oil production since 1956. Of 108 wells that have been drilled within <br />the flood control pool elevation, 74 wells had been abandoned while <br />34 wells were still prodUCing as of October 1965. It was estimated <br />that about 20 of those 34 wells had significant primary and secondary <br />reserves of oil and gas. Rights-of-way cost estimates for the unit <br />include funds deemed adequate for the acquisition and capping of the <br />remaining 34 producing wells, to insure the proper capping of abandoned <br />wells, and for the acquisition and abandonment of pipelines that will <br />no longer be needed. <br /> <br />Costs for fee title Iffilds include the cost of purchasing <br />associated water rights. Flood easements would be obtained for lands <br />between the fee title take line established for all purposes and the <br />cOntour line at the top of the flood control pool. A summary of t,he <br />estimated rights-of-way requirements for all purposes and present the <br />land use is presented in table 5. <br /> <br />HOUSING AND COMMUNITY FACILITIES <br /> <br />The construction headquarters office probably would be located <br /> <br />22 <br />
