All feasibility designs and estimates
for project features of the initial phase, or
the Roan Creek Unit, of the Bluestone Project
have been completed. Plan formulation studies
and reconnaissance cost estimates for Una
Reservoir (the second phase of the project)
are also completed, and work has been
initiated on the plan formulation appendix
to the report. Data for the second phase
will be presented in reconnaissance scope
with a recommendation that construction on
this phase be delayed until oil shale or re-
lated industries dictate the need. The land
classification and hydrology appendices have
been completed, and the agricultural economic
appendix is nearing completion. Financial
and economic analysis studies and report have
been continued, but cannot be completed until
work by the cooperating agencies is complete
and their reports available. Because of the
delay in receiving these cooperating agency
reports, the scheduled date for completion of
the proposed feasibility report is now October
1968.

On the Grand Mesa Project, plan formula-
tion studies are essentially complete and
the geological investigations, collection
of agricultural economic data, and the
preparation of design data are in progress.
A rough draft of the water supply portion of
the hydrology appendix is nearly completed
and other hydrologic studies are in progress.
The completion of the proposed feasibility
report is still scheduled for the end of
FY 1970.
