<br />003418 <br /> <br />- 2')- <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />the estimates of the Bureau of Reclanation cannot be checked 'by Colorado <br />engineers. Herein previously Colorado has suggested that results of reser- <br />voir operation studies should appear in the Report, to disolose the effects <br />of streamflow regulation and the additional quantities of water to be de- <br />livered at Lee Ferry during drouth cycles by the operations of such reser- <br />voirs in the Upper Basin, and the additional quantities of water to become <br />available for diversion and use in the lower Basin during drouth cycles as <br />a result of the operations of such reservoirs in both the Upper and Lower <br />Basins. Colorado also suggests that the Report disclose at what stages <br />the main-stem Upper Basin;reservoirs may be required, in relation tal (a) <br />Upper Basin developmentl and (b) the estimated power deficiencies of the <br />Lower Basin marketing area. <br /> <br />51. Colorado notes that future eleotrio energy requirements of the <br />Upper Basin are foreoast in the Report for the Upper Basin natural area, <br />and for the lower Basin power marketing area including all of Southern <br />California. Uniform treatment of the two basins would dictate the use of <br />natural basin 'boundaries, with data for adjoining areas in which Colorado <br />River power is being or may be marketed within feasible transmission dis- <br />tanoes. This will bring Salt Lake. on the West. and Denver and other <br />cities, on the East, into the power marketing areas of the Upper Basin, <br />end will neoessitate data concerning existing and potential pov.er develop- <br />ment in such adjoining areas. With respeat to the region east of the Con- <br />tinental Divide in Colorado, the power output of the Colorado-Big Thompson, <br />Eagle-Blue-South Platte, and Gunnison-Arkansas exportation projects will <br />become involved. In that regard, Colorado says, and suggests the Report <br />be revised to show, that the potentialities for the produotion of hydro- <br />eleotric power by such projects, initiated and needed for the purpose of <br />irrigation, are neoessary parts of their over-all economic feasibility, and <br />the power markets of eastern Colorado must be served, first, by the power <br />produoed by such dual-purpose projects. <br /> <br />~, <br /> <br />., <br />
