For example, the capacity from Willow Creek to <br />the east portal of Bertha Gulch Tunnel is 263 cfs, while the <br />capacity of the tunnel is 340 cfs. <br /> <br />E. Taylor Park Dam and Reservoir <br />The existing Taylor Park Dam and Reservoir plays a key role in <br />facilitating proper operation of both the water supply and hydroelectric <br />power components of the Union Park Project. Taylor Park Dam and <br />Reservoir were constructed from 1935 to 1937 by the U.S. Bureau of <br />Reclal11ation. It is located on the _Taylor River approximately 30 miles <br />northeast of the City of Gunnison, Colorado. <br /> <br />The dam is a zoned earthfill dam and is 205 feet high. The dam's top and <br />base widths are approximately 35 feet and 1000 feet respectively. The <br />crest length is approximately 675 feet and is at approximate elevation of <br />9,344 feet above M.S.L. The structure contains approximately 1.12 <br />million cubic yards of material. The outlet works consist of a concrete <br />lined tunnel through the right abutment, controlled by two 48-inch needle <br />valves. The dam is equipped with an uncontrolled, side-channel, concrete <br />weir with a concrete lined chute in the left abutment. <br /> <br />The reservoir capacity to elevation 9,330 feet above t1.S.L. is 106,200 <br />acre feet. The surface area of the reservoir at this elevation is 2,040 <br />acres. <br /> <br />-10- <br />
