nnOS7~ . . ~uzzard Creek Reservoir. We are currently awaiting receipt of their revised report. A draft report has been received from the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife. We are considering further potential measures to be adopted for reducing deer management problems that will develop from the conversion of land now being used for grazing used to irrigation use. No delay in submission of the feasibility report is expected from this aspect of the fish and wildlife report. A draft of the proposed feasibility report has been completed and is under review in this office. The proposed feasibility report is scheduled to be completed in March 1967. Plan formulation studies, water supply studies, and agricultural economic studies are continuing on the Bluestone Project. Foundation explorations were completed recently at the Parachute Damsite, an off- stream site located near the confluence of Parachute Creek and the Colorado River. Geologic conditions which developed may require re- consideration of a potential reservoir site on Parachute Creek below the three forks. On the Grand Mesa Project, plan formulation studies and water supply studies are in progress. Preparation of the project lands and drainage appendices is underway. Aerial topographic maps for Electric Mountain Service Canal have been completed by the contractor. Final payment has been made to the contractor and liquidated damages assessed. A proposed feasibility report is scheduled for completion in F.Y. 1968. Plan formulation studies and water supply studies are continuing ~on the Upper Gunnison Project. Land classification and drainage field- work has been completed. Analysis of land classification soil samples has been completed and office tabulations are in progress. A proposed feasibility report is scheduled for completion in F.Y. 1970. Feasibility designs and estimates for the Yellow Jacket Project are being prepared for sections of the Josephine Basin Canal and Yellow Jacket Canal, Milk Creek Canal, Lost Park collection system, and proj- ect laterals. Assembly of design data for other project features is in progress. The Project Lands Appendix is completed and the Drainage Appendix is essentially completed. Preparation of the Plan Formula- tion, Water Supply, and Agricultural Economy Appendices is continuing. The Yellow Jacket Project, as now planned, would include storgge at Lost Park and Ripple Reservoir sites in the White River drainage and the Thornburgh Reservoir site located on Milk Creek in the Yampa River drainage, and canals consisting of the 21-mile Milk Creek Canal, 38-mile Yellow Jacket Canal, and 40-mile Josephine Basin Canal. Some minor laterals, drains, and channel stabiiization will be required. Project water would be delivered for the irrigation of 22,000 acres of full service and 6,500 acres of supplemental service lands and for 50,000 acre-feet annually for municipal and industrial use in connection with anticipated oil shale developments in the 6
