<br />Cheeseman, some of the very rugged, wilderness-type area, with a stream <br />through there that would have more consistent flows that it has now. <br />(slide) Bleven Mile Reservoir. (slide) The upper end of Eleven Mile, <br />(slide) Antero. And again, I say we provide through re-operation of the <br />minimum stream flows for fish and recreation. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />(slide) Okay, now we will move on to the Ferndale alternative. This is <br />really a very poor map, but right in the center where the lines cross <br />is the area of Buffalo Creek. On upstream to the upper left is the <br />community of Pine. All of these communities would be affected if this <br />reservoir were built. The way this would operate, and of course, this <br />is on the North Fork and not on the South Fork, but through exchange <br />arrangements between Ferndale and the cheeseman-Antero-Eleven Mile Res- <br />ervoirs we can do about the same thing hydrologically here as we could <br />with Two Forks. Not quite, but about the same. <br /> <br />(slide) This is looking upstream on the North Fork. The damsite is up <br />towards the center of the picture where the road widens out there for <br />a small distance. <br /> <br />(slide) This is the Cathedral Rocks area. It would be along side the <br />reservoir. <br /> <br />(slide) This is the community of Buffalo Creek.

We have two alternatives to <br />get it there. One is a combination of a tunnel and a pumping system <br />to get the water up into the reservoir. And another alternative is <br />quite a bit longer tunnel that would go up the North Fork far enough <br />to get enough head to make it strictly a gravity situation. There are I <br />no communities in this reservoir area. However, there are more people <br />involved in this than the other two. Virtually all the people that <br />live in this area. are permanent residents, while in the others we have <br />a lot of summer cabins and not too many permanent people. <br /> <br />(slide) This is looking up Plum Creek. The dam axis runs from left to <br />right across your picture, generally cutting right through that little <br /> <br />-8- <br />
