<br /> <br />If/hai u. tk h~ IJ(IUt ? <br /> <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />The Narrows Unit is a plan for the further developnent and <br /> <br />conservation of water and land resources in the Colorado portion <br /> <br />of the South Platte River Basin. The plan has been formulated by <br />the Bureau of Reclamation at the request, and with the assistance, <br /> <br /> <br />of the State of Colorado. Before any construction could be <br /> <br /> <br />undertaken, the plan will have to be authorized by the Congress <br /> <br /> <br />of the United States, approved by the President, and funds <br /> <br /> <br />appropriated. <br /> <br />The plan of development provides for: (a) construction of <br />the Narrows Dam and Reservoir for multiple-purpose water storage, <br /> <br /> <br />(b) acquisition of the existing Jackson Lake and additional lands <br /> <br /> <br />for recreation and fish and wildlife purposes, and (c) construction <br /> <br /> <br />of facilities specifically for the recreation and fish-wildlife <br /> <br /> <br />programs. <br /> <br />.- <br /> <br />The Narrows Dam site across the South Platte River is about <br />7 miles upstream (west) from Fort Morgan, Colorado, and about <br />70 airline miles downstream (northeast) from Denver. Jackson L9.ke <br />is located on the north side and above the high water elevation of <br />the Narrows Reservoir. <br /> <br />No Federal construction of canals, laterals, or other water <br /> <br />conveyance facilities is planned as part of the unit.
