<br />contract has been essentially completed as of the date of this <br />status report. Design reports on relocations of county roads and <br />utilities were forwarded to the Division Engineer on 31 March <br />1967. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />(3) Channel Desiqn. Detailed design of the channel <br />improvement feature is currently in progress and it is expected <br />that the design will be complete early in ~~y. <br /> <br />(4) project Relocations. The consultants for the <br />Denver Water Board, Black and Veatch, have completed their report <br />on the relocation of water supply facilities affected by the proj- <br />ect and the Omaha District has reviewed their report. A meeting <br />with the Denver Water Board is scheduled on 27 April 1967 on the <br />matters relating to the relocation of their facilities. <br /> <br />b. proposed Mount Catbon"Dam and Reservoir project. <br /> <br />(1) status of Mount Carbon Report. The Division <br />Engineer recommended in his report to the Chief of Engineers that <br />the Mount Carbon project be recommended at a cost of $29,800,000 <br />as compared to the $22,300,000 project cost given in the Dis- <br />trict's Interim Report. The revised cost would be to account for <br />drilling and investigation and possible remedial measures on <br />abandoned coal mines within the reservoir area. The new cost <br />estimate also reflects a contingency item for possible spillway <br />modification should such modification be determined to be necessary <br />during the advanced planning and design. The Board of Rivers and <br />Harbors is currently reviewing the report. <br /> <br />(2) Hiqh\~ay Relocation by state. The Colorado <br />Department of Highways has initiated design studies on that por- <br />tion of the Colorado Highway 70 improvement extending from Kip- <br />ling Street to Turkey Creek junction. It is the understanding <br />of this office that the Department of Highways intends to route <br />the highway around the proposed Mount Carbon Dam site without <br />waiting for a cost-sharing agreement with the corps of Engineers. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />c. Basin Planning. OUr request for supplementary <br />funding to maintain progress on our investigations in the South <br />Platte River Basin is currently under review by the Chief of Engi- <br />neers. The funding would permit subsurface geologic explorations <br />and detailed design studies on potential projects in the Bijou <br />Creek Basin and the Sand and Toll Gate Creek Basins. <br /> <br />d.
