<br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />0910 <br /> <br />Distriot Engr, Albuquerque <br /> <br />January 13,1953 <br /> <br />during the non-irrigation seas,on whioh inoludes Dedember, the month .of ' <br />peak pCMer demaIil. The winter releases then, oouJ.d, be diverted to and <br />stored in Model Reservoir for release during the next irrigation season. ' <br /> <br />13. More detaUed studies would be required by the agencies <br />conoe:rnedin order to determine the practicabUity of the reservoir opera.- <br />tion discussed in the preceding paragraph. SUch studies have not been <br />made fo:r inclusiOn in these comments. However, they me;y be warranted at <br />some future time in order to determine whether the 8lllount of dependable <br />capacity produoed by the winter releases will have sufficient value to <br />achieve economic feasibUity of the potential hydroelectric installation. <br /> <br />14., In view of the fo:regoing discussion it is concluded ,that <br />water power development at the Trinidad,Reservoir Project would not be <br />feasible at this time. It is understood that the outlet works for the <br />proposed reservoir, could be modified without difficulty for installation <br />of pCMer faoilities, in the event a power installation of 1,000 to 1,500 <br />kilowatts capacity me;y later appear justified. Therefore, it is suggested <br />that the power potent;ali ties of the Trinidad Reservoir Project be. re- <br />examined after the project is constructed, contingent on a mo:re favorable <br />water supply 'far dependable power production, and on the power needs whiCh <br />me;y ex:l.!1t at that time. <br /> <br />The preceding comments are submitted at field level without <br />prior approval by higher authority am., therefore, are not to be con~ <br />sidered tbeofficial opinion of the Federal Power Commission. <br /> <br />This opportunity for cooperative eXamination of the devel~ <br />ment possibUities in, conneotion with the Review Report on the Purgatoire <br />River is appreciated, In accordance with your request the draft copy of <br />the report in four volumes is returned herewith.
