<br />'r' ,. <br />'i v -J ,,;. <br /> <br />The authorizing legislation for the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project <br /> <br />allows for the diversion of 3,000 acre-feet of water from Hunter <br /> <br />Creek to the eastern slope and in ex.chnnee, a like amount of <br /> <br />diversion, will be foregone by the Twin Lakes Reservoir and Canal <br /> <br />Company from the headwaters of the Roaring Fork River. The <br /> <br />authorizing leGislation thereby provides for the mitifacion of <br /> <br />the adverse affect to the fishery on the Roaring Fork Rive~ <br /> <br />above Aspen, Colorado, as a result of diversions by the Twin Lskes <br /> <br />Reservoir and Canal Company. <br /> <br />The Columbine, Wurtz, and Ewing Ditches owned by the city of <br /> <br />Pueblo divert water from the Eagle River Basin to Tennessee Cre."k <br /> <br />of the Arkansas River. These three ditches import an aV8rage <br /> <br />of 5,900 acre-feet annually. <br /> <br />The Eagle Collection System, a part of the Hornestake Project, will <br /> <br />divert water from the Eagle River Basin to Tennessee Creek of the <br /> <br />Arkansas River. The Eagle Collection System will import an average <br /> <br />of 5,900 acre.-feet 'l.nnllally. <br /> <br />Larkspar Ditch diverts water from Tomichi Creek in the Cunnison <br /> <br />Basin to Poncha Creek, a tributary of the south Arkansas River. <br /> <br />This water becomes part of the Arkansas River flow above Pueblo <br /> <br />Reservoir, therefore, storage in Project facilities is physically <br /> <br />possible. <br /> <br />19 <br />
