<br />\p <br />'3'6 ~ <br /> <br />Cedaredge Division, Gunnison River Project. <br />Preliminaiy studies have been completed analyzing the <br />use of Horse Ranch dam and resBrvoir on Anthracite <br />Creek in a multiple-purpose development to provide <br />the storage water needed for the Paonia and Grand Mesa <br />Projects in comparison to Spring Creek Dam and <br />Reservoir. Similar studie9' are underway on Bardine <br />Dam and Reservoir sit~. Completion of a reconnaissance <br />report "is schedule;! for March 1956. Further investiga- <br />tion would be dependent upon the findings in this <br />report. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />West Divide Project. Our present plan of <br />development for a strictly irrigation use is being <br />reviewed to determine if a more economical plan or <br />scale of development can be found than the present <br />plan which has a 0.9 to 1 benefit cost ratio;" Further <br />studies are contemplated for this year.'to cover a range <br />of possible developments to supply domestic water for <br />an urban area connected with anticipated oil shale <br />developments. Industrial water demands for the oil <br />shale development can be obtained from the potential <br />De Beque Reservoir and may not be considered in con- <br />nection with the West Divide Studies. A reconnaissance <br />report scheduled for completion in June 1956 will <br />provide the basis for determining the future investiga- <br />tion program for this project. ' <br /> <br />Bostwick Park Pro~ect. In anticipation of <br />adequate local support we ave schedu~dinitiation of <br />detailed investigations of this project to begin in <br />FY 1957. This is a comparatively small project close <br />to the Fruitland Mesa area where we are now working. <br />The stream gage at the dam site has been in operation <br />for two years which should enable us to go forward at <br />once with investigation for completion of a feasibility <br />report in FY 1958. This investigation can go forward <br />while streamflow records "are being obtained for Dallas <br />Creek and other projects. - <br /> <br />Ohio Creek Project. In anticipation of ._ <br />adequate local support we have scheduled initiation of <br />detailed investigations of this project to begin in <br />FY 1957. The completion of.the feasibility report is <br />scheduled for FY 1959. Adequate stream~runoff records <br />are available so no delays should result from this <br />requirement. <br /> <br />I <br />
