The plan of develop- <br />ment consists of Narrows Dam and Reservoir with appurtenant dikes and <br />the associated relocations of the Union Pacific Railroad, highways, <br />transmission and telephone lines, and oil and gas lines. Recreation <br />and fish and wildlife developments associated with the Narrows Unit <br />are also included. Other features were studied as potential addi- <br />tions to the Unit and are presented in the last section of the <br />appendix. These are the Bijou Creek Diversion Channel; the River- <br />side, Bijou and Sterling Pumping Plants; and the Ovid Well Field, <br /> <br />The designs and estimates for Narrows Dam and the Bijou Creek <br />Diversion Channel were prepared in the Office of Chief Engineer. All <br />other designs and estimates, with the exception of those for recrea- <br />tion and fish and wildlife facilities, were prepared in the Regional <br />Office and reviewed in the Office of Chief Engineer. The designs <br />and estimates are adequate to support the request for authorization <br />of the Narrows Unit. <br /> <br />The Bijou Creek Diversion Channel, the Sterling Pumping Plant, <br />or the Ovid Well Field could be added to the Narrows Unit at any <br />time without change in the design of Narrows Dam or Reservoir. <br />Addition of the Bijou Pumping Plant would require redesign of the <br />Fort Morgan Canal Outlet Works to include additional capacity or <br />addition of a separate outlet works. Addition of the Riverside <br />Pumping Plant would require modification of the design of the out- <br />let end of the River Outlet Works. <br />
