In lieu of or in addition to the above recommendation, we would <br />like to have consideration given to the creation of a "borrow-area" seepage <br />lake similar to Hasty Lake below John Martin Reservoir. This small lake <br />affords a great deal of fishing and recreation without interfering with <br />water rights or reservoir draw-downs. If a similar area could be created <br />during the construction of the Trinidad Reservoir, it would be highly <br />desirable. <br /> <br />The reservoir as Planned would have considerable value as a resting <br />srea for migratory waterfowl. Ducks use the Purgatoire River as part of <br />their flight route between the San Luis Valley, and the Arkai:lsas Valley. <br />Preliminary estimates would place fall and winter utilization at somewhere <br />near 5,000 ducks. <br /> <br />This figure would increase if irrigation from the reservoir increased <br />@&in crops in the. near vicinity. <br /> <br />We appreciate the opportunity to review this report and will gladly <br />,cooperate in any planning phases which concern our interests. <br /> <br />P.S. Original reports are being returned under separate cover. <br /> <br />T. L. K. <br /> <br />APPENDIX G <br />l!@iii:i:tt No. ;2 <br />Page_;2 of2 <br />
