<br />, <br /> <br />MR. JACOBSON: <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />MR, STAPLETON: <br /> <br />We anticipate that this entire construc- <br />tion period will run somewhere into 1972 to <br />1975, All these things are dependent upon, <br />of course, when they are started but this one <br />we can pretty well fim up from the Bureau's <br />studies at the present time - that it will be <br />completed by the middle of 1966, .the Blue <br />~~sa unit. The others just depend on how <br />soon they are started. This whole thing could <br />be accelerated, for instance, if the Morrow <br />Point unit can be started in 1963. However, <br />it is not too practical to start those units <br />until the Blue Mesa unit is well on its way. <br /> <br />The Blue Mesa unit is an earth and rock <br />fill type dam. The other two will be con- <br />crete arch type dams. The expenditure of <br />money required to complete these two units, <br />starting with $1,400,000 the first year, next <br />year it will require $4,700,000, the third <br />year $8,000,000~ the fourth year $9,000,000, <br />the fifth year ~lO,OOO,OOO, the sixth year <br />$14,280,000, then it starts tapering off to <br />$9,000,000, $9,200,000 and $6,000,000 to com- <br />plete the project, totals up to a little over <br />$72,000,000. That does not include the trans- <br />mission division which will take approximately <br />another ten million dollars to complete, <br /> <br />We will try to point out something about <br />the high water marks of the reservoir on the <br />tour. If possible, Jake, I know the people <br />from Gunnison particularly, and those that <br />live in the area, would like to have a good <br />idea of these points of interest," <br /> <br />"The yellow flags are the recreation <br />areas, the white flags are the site of the <br />dam." <br /> <br />"The red flags will be the high water <br />mark. I'd like for the Board members to <br />particularly pay attention to the deer range <br />that we are going through. We proceed from <br />here right on down the canyon for those of <br />you who are driving their own cars and you <br />can get right into the convoy." <br /> <br />"I want to remind the Board that the next <br />meeting of the Board is at Alamosa on Monday, <br />August 15th. Dick, who's planning the pro- <br />gram down there?" <br />
