lLocation shown on figure 1.
2River miles are for site focations as of January 1976. Determinations
are from Pueblo Dam downstream to simplify transit loss and traveltime compu-
tations and, therefore, have no relation to river-mile determinations of the
U.S. Bureau of Reclamation or the U.S. Army, Corps of Engineers.
3Represents river mile with little or no water storage in John Martin
Reservoir; effective river mile about 139 at other times.
