<br />Water Supply Reserve Account - Grant Application Form <br />Fonn Revised May 2007 <br /> <br />a) Project Area Description and map <br /> <br />WSRA funding, if awarded, will be applied primarily at Lake Pueblo State Park in Pueblo County Colorado in the <br />Arkansas Basin. The research and education components of the grant budget would be applied statewide at other state <br />parks with reservoirs. This would provide for sampling and early detection of zebra mussels as well public education. <br /> <br />Pueblo reservoir occupies the majority of Lake Pueblo State Park and was constructed between 1970 and 1974 as <br />part of the Fryingpan-Arkansas project. The project involves a trans-basin diversion from the Fryingpan River to <br />the Arkansas River and consists of six storage dams and reservoirs, of which Pueblo Reservoir is the largest. The <br />reservoir was built for a variety of reasons, the most important being irrigation. However, flood control, <br />municipal water, recreation, and fish and wildlife habitat were also reasons for its construction (USDI-BOR <br />1981). The Arkansas River provides most of the reservoir's water, however, Bogg's, Rock, Peck, and Turkey <br />Creeks and several unnamed intermittent drainages (Von Loh et al. 1995) also contribute. The total volume of <br />the reservoir is 357,700 acre-feet when filled to its maximum level at an elevation of 4,898 feet. <br /> <br /> <br />ti <br />... <br /> <br />\-""t' <br />.~. .!II <br /> <br />~e <br />Colorado S1ate Parks <br /> <br />D Park Boulldary Rivers <br />_ State Wildlife Areas - Roads <br /> <br />::::J lakes Interstate <br /> <br />..J <br />T" <br /> <br />Lake Pueblo State Park <br /> <br />2 <br />,r~il~, <br /> <br />11 <br />
