''', Ij .0' <br />,~',.) 1 ~- <br /> <br />~ransportation 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 />thoroughfares. <br /> <br />Rail terminals and haul roads accessible to the Narrows Dam <br />site are shown OIl exhibit 2. Major shipping terminals in the area <br />on the Union Pacific and the Chicago Burlington and Quincy Railroads <br />are respectively 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 />innnediately 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-Way <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 lands by flowage easement. The <br />fee title requirement would comprise 23,040 acres of lands for <br />irrigation and flood control purposes, 856 acres for relocations, <br />and an additional 10,220 acres which would be needed to meet <br />present and future requirements for recreation and fish and wildlife <br />purposes. The latter lands, consisting of 3,000 acres for recrea- <br />tion purposes and 7,220 acres for fish and wildlife purposes were <br />requested and justified by the National Park Service and the <br />Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife. Included in the recreation <br />and fish and wildlife requirements respectively are 190 and 3,700 <br />acres to be converted to fee title from lands which would otherwise <br /> <br />6 <br /> <br />Revised July 1966 <br />
