CONSTRUCTION
Major construction activities in the Upper
Colorado Region during Fiscal Year 1986
occurred on the Dolores, Central Utah,
Dallas Creek, and Seedskadee Projects.

Project; Bonneville and Jensen Units of
the Central Utah Project; Dolores and
Seedskadee Projects; and the Colorado
River Basin Salinity Control Project.

rado River Storage Projects totaled
$126.6 million.
Dolores Project: Water Year 1986
marked the third year of the filling crite-
ria for McPhee Reservoir, a major feature
of the Dolores Project. The reservoir
reached elevation 6,855 feet in early
June. Releases for irrigation use balanced
inflow during the summer months, and
the reservoir held steady at that elevation
for the remainder of the filling stages to
insure the safe filling of the reservoir.
Recreation facilities at McPhee Reservoir
were dedicated May 24, 1987. Commis-
sioner of Reclamation C. Dale Duvall was
the principal speaker. Upper Colorado
Regional Director Clifford Barrett pre-
sented Dolores District Ranger Leonard
Atencio of the San Juan Forest Service
with a scroll granting them jurisdiction
over the management of the recreation
facilities.
A $6 million construction contract for the
Cahone Pumping Plant and Laterals was

mately 30 percent complete at the end of
the fiscal year.
A $7,600,000 contract for Fairview Pump-
ing Plant and laterals was awarded in
April 1985. The contract work was about
90 percent complete at the end of Fiscal
Year (FY) 86.

and paving of the Dolores-Norwood Road
