<br />J <br /> <br />i.~ <br />v;4 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Reconnaissance studies have been undertaken for the southern Cache <br />County in the Little Bear River basin to determine tbe development possi.. <br />bi1ities and the integration necessary with the Bear River Project. <br /> <br />Central utah Project, Utah <br /> <br />Investigational work has been primarily on detailed surveys and <br />studies for the Vernal unit and on reconnaissance-t~'Pe studies of devel- <br />opment possibilities in Ouray Valley. Topographic surveys were completed <br />for the Mona-I1ephi and West Valley Canals. <br /> <br />Gooseberry Project, utah <br /> <br />Ground water observations and streamflow measurements on the San <br />Pitch River were carried on for use in subsequent studies. <br /> <br />Sublette Project, Wyoming <br /> <br />Reconnaissance studies were completed covering possibilities for <br />further water resource development in the Upper Green River basin. The <br />West Side Division would be a dual-purpose development for the irrigation <br />of 34,000 acres of new land and 5,250 acres of supplemental service land <br />and hydroelectric production of about 2,500 kilowatts at Kendall Reservoir, <br />The Buckskin division would provide irrigation water for 37,400 acres of <br />new land and 10,500 acres of supplemental service land and an installed <br />generating capacity of 2,000 kilowatts. <br /> <br />Considering the indicated low benefit-cost ratio of 0.95 to 1 and <br />the present impracticability of dividing large livestock holdings into <br />new family-sized farms, detailed investigations of the weat Side Division <br />is not warranted at this time. The Buckskin Division, however, has a <br />benefit-cost ratio of 1.3 to 1. <br /> <br />Seedskadee Project, Wyoming <br /> <br />Land classification field work was completed. Laboratory analysis <br />of embankment materials for Fontenelle Dam, topographic surveys for West <br />Side Canal and plan formulation studies were carried forward. Prelim- <br />inary studies show a 5,000 kilowatt powerplant and 105,000 acre-foot of <br />active capacity in Fontenelle Reservoir in combination with the irriga- <br />tion features to be the best scale of development. <br /> <br />Savery-Pot Hook Project, Colorado-Wyoming <br /> <br />Completion of the authorizing report has been deferred pending <br />further recommendations by Colorado and Wyoming state officials. <br /> <br />Yampa-White Project, Colorado-Utah-Wyorning <br /> <br />Reconnaissance-type studies were continued on the potential develop- <br />ments in the basin. Field surveys were made for canals which would de- <br />liver water from potential Wessels and California Parks Reservoirs. <br /> <br />1268 <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br />
