<br />project is $265,400 with a benefit-cost ratio <br />of 1.80 to 1.00. The project was authorized <br />July 16, 1960 and they just recently let the <br />first contract for the dam on Carbon Arroyo. <br /> <br />Indian Wash watershed project is at Grand I <br />Junction and the plan has been completed and <br />sent to Congress for authorization. Land treat- <br />ment measures on the watershed and a flood <br />retention dam on Indian Wash having,l,615' <br />acre-feet capacity is proposed. The total proj- <br />ect cost is $4S2,166 of which $431,685 will be <br />P. L. 566 funds. The project has a benefit- <br />cost ratio of 1.38 to 1.00. There has been <br />considerable local interest on this project and <br />the City of Grand Junction has approved it and <br />they have a drainage district involved and they <br />also approved the project so I think this is <br />one that is going through. <br /> <br />They are working on the Home Supply Water- <br />shed. Preliminary investigations have just been <br />completed for rehabilitation of the Home Supply <br />Irrigation system and for construction of a <br />5,000 acre-foot storage reservoir which would <br />be filled from the Big Thompson River. Con- <br />sideration is being given to water management, <br />rehabilitation of irrigation structures, and <br />canal lining and cleaning. Preliminary inves- <br />tigations indicate that this may be a justi- <br />fiable project under P. L. 566. There's special <br />interest on this project in that it is the first <br />time in this state that they have gone into <br />rehabilitation studies of an existing irrigation <br />system. In this case they are planning on <br />rehabilitation of their drop structures; they <br />have no weirs of any consequence that are any <br />good; and they also need additional storage for <br />water management hoping to get something later I <br />on in the season. This office here made special <br />water supply studies and find that with the <br />5,000 acre-foot reservoir there isn't much <br />chance of getting over on an average of maybe <br />2,000 or 2,500 acre-feet a year. That's on an <br />average. It's probably closer to 2,000. How- <br />ever, they have been able to buy some Big <br />Thompson water at times and also pick up a <br />
