<br />r <br /> <br />105~ <br /> <br />New construction for the unit would consist of the potential Narrows <br />Dam and Reservoir to serve the functions of irrigation, flood control. <br />recreation, and fiah-wildlife enhancement. The fish hatchery would be <br />located approximately 1,000 feet downstream from the dam. Specific lands <br />and facilities, including the existing Jackson Lake. would be acquired for <br />recreation and fish and wildlife purposes. No Federal construction of <br />irrigation distribution facilities would be involved. <br /> <br />Storage water would be released as neceasary from the reservoir to <br />supplement irrigation within the 166,370-acre service area of the Lower <br />South Platte Wster Conservancy District. Project Water storsd in Narrows <br />Reservoir would be released either into the South Platte River through a <br />river outlet for delivery to existing downstream diversion works or through <br />a canal outlet works directly into the Fort Morgan Canal. Minimum down- <br />stream flows for fishery requirements would be met by reservoir seepage, <br />stream sccretions, and return flows. Flows for operating the fish hatchery <br />would be obtained from seepage. <br /> <br />COSTS AND CONSTRUCTION <br /> <br />Project Coats <br /> <br />The total project coat of the Narrows Unit, based on January 1969 <br />prices, is estimated at $68,050,000 which ia an increase of $6,230,000 <br />from the earlier estimate based on October 1965 price levels. This <br />increased cost reflects rising construction and righta-of-way costs and <br />the cost of the added fish hatchery.
