CAAPTER II <br />INVENTORY DAM SITES <br />Task 1 involved canvassing water users from throughout the State <br />which was performed in September, 1993. The method of canvasing <br />was to attempt to contact every water conservancy district, dam <br />safety engineer and major water organization. Due to bad phone <br />numbers and logistic difficulty of reaching so many people, not <br />every water conservancy district was reached. <br />The general procedure was to contact entities, ask if they had any <br />plans to increase water storage, if so obtain information; then ask <br />if they knew of anyone else who should be contacted. About half of <br />the identified sites were from the targeted entities and half from <br />references. <br />During Task 1, 65 water users were contacted which are listed in <br />Table A. From these calls a total of 39 reservoir sites were <br />identified which are listed in Table B. One page descriptions of <br />the 39 sites are included in the attachments, "39 Sites". Of the <br />total of 39 sites, 22 of the sites met the intent of the Study. <br />During task 1, it became obvious that the larger entities usually <br />have staff or consulting engineers, who know how to obtain CWCB <br />funds; these groups did not have a need for the work performed as <br />part of this Study. On the other hand, the smaller entities <br />generally do not have time to plan projects and therefore received <br />the greatest benefit from this Study. <br />The dam sites which were included in the study are owned or <br />sponsored by smaller water organizations from around the state. <br />All of the sites involve a water organization; there are no <br />individual owners or developers. The reason is probably the method <br />of canvassing which concentrated on organizations, and the fact <br />that individuals do not build many dams. <br />Small Dam Site Recon. Study 3 <br />
