approximately $3,000,000 if at least one half of the design capacity of . <br /> the reservoir were to be dedicated to recreation and wildlife <br /> enhancement. <br /> Of the total reservoir design capacity of 33,750 acre-feet the Upper <br /> Yampa District has written and verbal commitments for purchase of 15,000 <br /> acre-feet of water per annum from the project to be used for municipal , <br /> irrigation, and industrial beneficial uses. It plans to dedicate a <br /> storage capacity of approximately 15,000 acre-feet, exclusive of the <br /> sediment pool of approximately 3,750 acre-feet, as a permanent pool for <br /> recreation and wildlife uses. <br /> This dedication to recreational and wildlife uses is compatible with <br /> similar uses in this recreation-oriented region of the State of <br /> Colorado. These uses are similar to the recreation goals of the <br /> original developer of the Stagecoach area who sold condominium dwelling <br /> units and single family sites. A total of 163 townhouses and 12 single <br /> family dwelling units currently exist in the Stagecoach development.. <br /> The original development plans included a reservoir with water-based <br /> recreation. The Stagecoach Ski Area, a part of the original <br /> development, was actually constructed and operated for two seasons <br /> before closing because of lack of funds. The equipment remains on site <br /> in the original configuration and is being maintained. <br /> Negotiations have progressed with the Colorado Division of Parks and <br /> Outdoor Recreation concerning the recreational activities associated • <br /> with the reservoir and adjacent project lands. DPOR has agreed to <br /> manage the recreational features if the following conditions are met: <br /> 1. A campground of at least 100 units with appropriate support <br /> facilities be constructed at no cost to the State. <br /> 2. Administrative facilities be made available to DPOR in the project <br /> area without cost to the State. <br /> 3. The attached Stagecoach Reservoir Site Plan be adhered to. <br /> 4. Park land identified on the plan will be deeded or the subject of a <br /> long-term lease to the State without cost. <br /> 5. A subsidy for park administration be provided for a twelve year <br /> period, amounting to $35,000 per year for each of the first three <br /> years and $50,000 per year for each of the succeeding nine years. <br /> 8 <br />
