V <br /> <br />Transportation Facilities <br /> <br />No problems are anticipated in getting access to jobsites for <br />construction of the Narrows Dam and Reservoir since virtually all <br />construction areas are readily accessible from existing public <br />thoroughfare s. <br /> <br />Rail terminals and haul roads accessible to the Narrows Dam <br />site are shawn on exhibit 2. Major shipping terminals in the area <br />on the Union Pacific and the Chicago Burlington and Quincy Railroads <br />are l'espectively at the north and south sides of the city of Fort <br />Morgan. Both terminals are within an average haul distance of eight <br />miles from the damsite. The Union Pacific Railroad has a beet dump <br />siding at the Narrows Station located on the north side of the river <br />immediately upstream from the damsite. It may be advisable to con- <br />struct additional siding track at this station to facilitate unloading <br />material and equipment for Narrows Dam. The Burlington Railroad has <br />a terminal at Wiggins which is within an average haul distance of <br />13 miles from the damsite and a beet dump siding at Griffin Station <br />within an average haul distance of six miles. <br /> <br />Housing and Community Facilities <br /> <br />The construction headquarters office probably will be located <br />at Fort Morgan, Colorado. Adequate housing and community facilities <br />are available at Fort Morgan, Brush, and other communities within <br />reasonable commuting distance. <br /> <br />A field office will be requIred near Narrows Dam during <br />constructIon of this feature. <br /> <br />Land Acquisition and Right-of-vlay <br /> <br />Land acquisition requirements for all purposes for Narrows Dam <br />and Reservoir will require the acquisition of 34,116 acres of lands <br />by fee title and 2,130 acres of l&nds by flowage easerrent, The <br />fee title requirement ..auld comprise 26,930 acres of lands for <br />reservoir multiple purpose use, 856 acres for relocations, find an <br />additional 6,330 acres ..hich would be needed to rr,eet present and <br />future requirements for recreation and fisb Bnd ..ildlif" purposes. <br />The latter lands, consisting of 2,810 acres for recreation purposes <br />and 3,520 acres for fish and ..ildlife pllrposes were requested and <br />justified by the National Park Service and the Bureau of Sport <br />Fisheries and Wildlife. <br /> <br />6 <br />
