<br />The construction of a boat ramp access road and campground at <br />Upper Stillwater Reservoir was completed. Planning/construction costs <br />in fiscal year 1991 were $202,775.42. Additional work will take place in <br />1992 at Upper Stillwater Dam. <br /> <br />Recreation facilities at Starvation Reservoir including development of <br />a water system, campground, beach area, landscaping, sprinkler system <br />and shelters were completed. Planning/construction costs in fiscal year <br />1991 were $801,522. <br /> <br />ii. Vernal Unit. Reclamation is presently gathering design data for <br />designing modifications to Steinaker Dam as part of the Safety of Dams <br />program. While the existing dam is structurally sound, modifications will <br />enable the dam to better withstand an earthquake. It has been determined <br />that during a strong earthquake, portions of the dam's foundation could <br />liquefY. A structural modification of the dam is necessary to prevent that <br />from happening. Tentative plans call for a construction contract for <br />modifying the dam in June ofl992. Construction is expected to last one <br />season, starting in the fall of 1992 and ending the following spring. <br /> <br />Work at Steinaker Dam will be timed so that there should be no <br />interruption of water supplies from the dam to irrigators. The modifica- <br />tion work will be timed such that activity requiring the drawdown of the <br />water level will be performed in the fall after the irrigation season, with <br />completion before spring runoff. <br /> <br />6. WYOMING <br /> <br />a. Lyman Project <br /> <br />Drilling activities at Meeks eabin Dam under the Safety of Dams <br />program concluded during the summer of 1987. A Modification Deci- <br />sion Analysis Report was completed in 1989. It has been determined that <br />a structural modification is necessary to lessen seepage and eliminate thecpotential for a piping failure. It is expected that a construction contract <br />for the appropriate modification will be awarded in December of 1992, or <br />early in 1993. <br /> <br />50 <br />
