The Agate Dam and Reservoir would be
located on East Bijou Creek 3 miles southwest
from Agate. The dam would be a rolled-earth
embankment about 8,200 feet long and 100 feet
high. This project would control runoff from
a 184-square-mile drainage area and would have
a gross storage capacity of 51,300 acre-feet.
Of this amount 42,100 acre-feet would be for
flood control and 9,200 acre-feet would be for
sediment storage. The first cost of this
project is estimated to be about $8 million.

The East Bijou Creek Dam and Reservoir
would be located on East Bijou Creek upstream
from U. S. Highway 36. The dam would be a
rolled-earth embankment about 15,000 feet
long and 105 feet high. The dam would control
runoff from a 580-square-mile drainage area.
This.includes the l84-square mile drainage
area above the Agate damsite. The reservoir
would have a gross storage capacity of 128,000
acre-feet. Of this amount, 108,000 acre-feet
would be for flood control and 20,000 acre-
feet would be for sediment storage. This
project would have an estimated cost of $21
million.

The Muddy Creek Dam and Reservoir would
be located on Muddy Creek about 7 miles north
of U. S. Highway 36. The dam would be rolled-
earth embankment about 10,000 feet long and
85 feet high. This project would control
runoff from a 123 square-mile drainage area
and would have a gross storage capacity of
37,000 acre-feet. Of this amount 30,400
acre-feet would be for flood control and
6,600 acre-feet would be for sediment storage.
The total first cost of the project is esti-
mated to be about $8 million.
