The <br />estimated cost of betterment is the difference, or $139,000. <br /> <br />County road relocations will involve construction of three- <br />fourths of a mile of new road and raising one and one-quarter miles <br />of existing road from the crest of the dam near the right abutment <br />and extending westward as shown on exhibit 2. Approximately 6 miles <br />of additional county road relocations are planned; however, the <br />exact locations cannot be defined at this time. The relocated roads <br />will have 24-foot asphalt surfaces as requested by the Morgan County <br />Commissioners. They are now reconstructing the county road affected <br />by the 2-mile relocation to this standard. <br /> <br />Transmission Line Relocations <br /> <br />Powerlines in and near the reservoir area consist of: <br />(1) The Morgan County Rural Electric Association System serving <br />the towns of Goodrich and Orchard in addition to many farms through- <br />out the area, (2) The Public Service Company line which primarily <br />serves the town of Weldona, and (3) Bureau of Reclamation Greeley- <br />Fort Morgan 115 kv transmission line. See exhibit 9. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The REA facilities within the area to be acquired for reser- <br />voir rights-of-way will be abandoned. In order to serve REA power <br />users north of the reservoir, it will be necessary to construct a <br />12.5 kv distribution line around the upper end of the reservoir. <br />A 12.5 kv line will be relocated around the right abutment of <br />Narrows Dam to provide service to the area south of the reservoir <br />and east of Kiowa Creek. These new lines will serve remaining <br />farms outside of the flood pool which were served by lines to be <br />abandoned. <br /> <br />All consumers served by the Public Service Company line north <br />of the damsite lie within the area to be acquired for the dam and <br />reservoir rights-of-way. Therefore, approximately 11 miles of this <br />line, from the damsite to the vicinity of Weldona, together with <br />power distribution facilities will be abandoned. <br /> <br />The Bureau of Reclamation Greeley-Fort Morgan 115 kv trans- <br />mission line, is entirely outside the reservoir area and will not <br />require relocation. <br /> <br />Telephone Line Relocations <br /> <br />As shown on exhibit 10, about 16 miles of the Fort Morgan- <br />Greeley telephone toll line, running west through the Weldona <br />exchange and along the north side of the South Platte River in <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />26 <br />
