Extensive <br />fish and wildlife measures were Included. The greatest <br />single addition to the plan was the addition of Sawmill <br />Mountain Reservoir, with a oapacity of 55,000 acre-feet. <br /> <br />The Project Is 'now improved and designed to meet <br />objection to earlier plans which have been voiced over the <br />past twenty years. Plans are now substantially complete. <br />Environmental work has been done. The Yellow-Jacket <br />Project is ready to meet the needs of an oil shaie industry <br />in north~west Colorado, and to supply agricultural, <br /> <br />domestic and municipal needs in the upper White River <br />Valley.
