<br />-> <br />#1 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />dam to determine if it was more economical to utilize one <br />dam instead of the resulting Morrow Point-Blue Mesa combination. <br />This estimate is expected within the next 60 days. A contract <br />has been awarded to Alster and Associates for photogrammetric <br />mapping of the Crystal and l1orrow point dam sites and for the <br />access road to Morrow Point dam site. Advertisement for <br />bids for use of backhoe to explore and sample the potential <br />concrete aggregate source on Cimarron Creek will be given <br />soon. A report to meet requirements of Public Law 485 as <br />reported at your last meeting will be available this fiseal year. <br />Colorado Storaqe Project--Participating projects <br />Paonia Pro~.--Definite plan studies of the Paonia project <br />are going forward. Refined studies are now proceeding on <br />operational problems involving sediment encroachment on the <br />capacity in the reservoir and to evaluate other factors <br />effecting the size of the reservoir so that the Chief Engineer <br />may prepare final designs and specifications. Invitations <br />to bid are being prepared to drill about 11 more holes at the <br />dam site to give the Chief Engineer data needed for these <br />designs. Land classification and drainage aspects of the <br />project have been thoroughly reviewed by the technicians and <br />the small amount of work remaining to be done for the <br />Secretarial land certification has been started. Topographic <br />surveys for the road relocation around Paonia reservoir and <br />geologic studies of seepage sections along the Fire Mountain <br />canal are underway. Construction on the dam is scheduled to <br />start next summer. <br /> <br />1260 3 <br />
