<br />Recreation Planning
<br />
<br />Reclamation "in-house" recreation planning
<br />capability was strengthened during fiscal
<br />year 1975. Landscape architects are now
<br />working in project offices in Provo, Grand
<br />Junction, and in the regional office in Salt
<br />Lake City. Much of their time is allocated to
<br />participation in multi objective planning
<br />(MOP) efforts and investigation of
<br />preauthorized project studies related to
<br />energy needs.
<br />
<br />Recreation master plans are being prepared
<br />for Strawberry and Fontenelle Reservoirs.
<br />Site planning was completed for several
<br />campgrounds. Addition of this expertise will
<br />faciiitate many aspects of the program
<br />including visual quality analysis in relation
<br />to borrow areas, road locations, canal and
<br />transmission line alignments, and other
<br />developments. It will also provide much-
<br />needed assistance in revegetation of
<br />disturbed areas, landscaping of recreation
<br />and administrative facilities, and working
<br />drawings for Youth Conservation Corps
<br />(YCC) projects.
<br />
<br />Operations
<br />
<br />With the addition of the newly completed
<br />Soldier Creek Dam, the Bureau now
<br />administers recreation facilities at two
<br />reservoirs in the CRSP system.
<br />During the early years of the initial filling of
<br />Soldier Creek, temporary facilities will be
<br />provided as the water rises. Permanent
<br />facilities will be developed as the water
<br />nears conservation pool level. Management
<br />of Soldier Creek is administered by the
<br />Office of Utah Activities with headquarters
<br />in Provo, Utah.
<br />
<br />Fontenelle Reservoir is administered by the
<br />CRSP Power Operations Office with
<br />headquarters in Montrose, Colo.
