<br />" <br /> <br />, <br />y <br /> <br />November 1973 <br /> <br />Status Report Plan <br /> <br />----------- <br /> <br />neformulation studies prior to OMB's curtailment of AP funds expanded <br />the Indian acreage from 1,500 to 3,055 acres. These lands are shown <br />on Map #2. In addition, 1,000 acre-feet of M&I water would be delivered <br />to the Indian reservation boundary and a recreation reservoir would <br />be included on Chimney Rock Draw near highway intersections of 160 <br />and 666. The recreation reservoir was to be a companion feature of the <br />Indians current plans to develop the Mancos Canyon historical ruins. <br /> <br />Reclamation personnel worked closely with BIA representatives in <br />selecting the reservoir site and in verifying the irrigability of <br />the additional lands. <br /> <br />MVI enlargement costs associated with the expanded development were <br />estimated to be $450,000 which was significantly greater than the <br />costs 'associated with the l,500 E,cres in which only bottlenecks had <br />to be eliminated. Capacity requirement for the expanded acreage is 60 <br />second-feet which is considered a maximum that could be delivered by <br />enlargement of the MYI facilities. <br /> <br />Cursory economic incremental studies were made to determine if the <br />additional Indian lands were justified. These studies showed the <br />addition~ were marginal. <br />
