On the savery-Pot Hook Project substantial
progress has been made on the definite plan
report investigations. Project land classi-
fication and drainage review by Regional and
Denver personnel have been completed. The
project lands and drainage appendix is being
drafted at the present time. Plan formula-
tion studies are essentially complete with
the recommended plan consisting of an enlarge-
ment of the proposed Pot Hook Reservoir and
realigning the Pot Hook Canal at a higher
elevation. pot Hook Canal will also be ex-
tended to replace the previously planned
Wests ide Canal Extension. The Two Bar area
will be eliminated from the project plan
because of poor soil quality and cost of
facilities. Final project water supply
studies are under way. Geological investi-
gations of the canal locations are essentially
complete, and studies are now in progress to
determine the need and type of canal lining.
All field surveys for project features are
now complete. On-farm development costs and
farm-size studies are continuing. The definite
plan report is scheduled to be completed in
the fall of 1970.
