Summer <br /> flows drop below those recommended on occassion. Thus, <br /> it was suggested that the Forest Service should issue <br /> no further permits for water development projects on <br /> its lands. <br /> o Acquisition of existing water rights was not <br /> recommended. <br /> o No conflict with the Rio Grande Compact was <br /> anticipated. <br /> o Campground rehabilitation and replacement would occur. <br /> o Reconstruction of 25 .6 miles of trail would be <br /> required . <br /> o A Recreational Forester would be required to administer <br /> the area. <br /> o A capital investment of $1 ,900,000 and an annual <br /> maintenance and administrative cost of $111 ,000 would <br /> be required. <br /> Current Legislation (S. 1084) <br /> S. 1084 would delete a two-mile segment below Platoro <br /> Reservoir, which was recommended for designation in the final <br /> study report. This would eliminate several tracts of private <br /> land from designation. <br /> /bm <br /> -3- <br />
