<br />Construction is proposed of Crystal Dam and a hydroelectric powerplant on the
<br />Gunnison River, Montrose, Colorado. Adverse environmental effects include
<br />inundation of 6.5 miles of trout fishery and high quality river scenery by the
<br />reservoir having a maximum depth of 200 feet at the dam and unavoidable turbidity
<br />increases during the construction period. (Supersedes report dated August 20, 1971,
<br />PB-202071-D).

<br />
<br />Final environmental statement for Crystal Dam, reservoir, and powerplant was filed
<br />December 1971. This supplement covers design changes and results of investigations
<br />which have occurred since that time. The Crystal dam site is situated on the Gunnison
<br />River, 15 miles east of Montrose, Colorado, in Montrose County. Channelizing of the
<br />stream below the damsite has been reduced from a length of 8,000 feet to 5,800 feet,
<br />lessening the impact on the fishery. Esthetic impact will be minimized by eliminating
<br />some overhead power lines, placing part of the crest access road in a tunnel, and
<br />moving the powerplant from the abutment toward the center of the dam. Inundation
<br />of an additional 11 acres of canyon will be required, including about 1,000 feet of river
<br />channel, by raising the reservoir normal water surface 5 feet.
