I I bluff there on the right side of the picture. This would be an earth- fill darn, where the other two are concrete-arch, and it would be something like 13,000 feet long. It would be a very long dam. (slide) The St. Phillips Church and Bear Canyon cemetery would be in the reservoir area, both of which are on the National Register of historical sites. (slide) This is the headquarters of the Sinclair Cattle Company, which is in the valley, a very prominent land and cattle operation in the area. (slide) Here is another of the farmsteads in the area - very, very elaborate. Lights please. I would like to summarize this presentation with trying to bring you up to date on where we are on investigations. We intend to have the first draft of our report finished by June 30 of this year. Looking at the individual items that we have to work with, the nondevelopment or the base condition, we feel we are about ninety per cent complete with that. The management plan, we look at that in two parts. We have the river recreation aspects of it primarily worked by the BOR. We see as about three-fourths finished. And the conservation measures, about eighty per cent done with that. As we look at the storage alternatives, we feel the engineering, the geology, the mapping, the engineering estimates are about eighty-five per cent complete with that. The collection of economic data, about ninety per cent. The economic and financial analysis, only about ten per cent. Of course, we can't really analyze the thing until we have all the facts together. So that work is coming up shortly. The environmental data collection, we feel we have about eighty-five per cent of that. The actual rating work, maybe about twenty per cent. We have quite a bit of work to do on the rating and for the most part, they have to kind of wait and see what components are going to be in a plan before they can intelligently rate an area - how much recreation is going to be there, this kind of thing, where the road layout is going to be. Recreation plans, we feel are about half finished and the write-up of all the other proposals which we have looked at, and there have been numerous. We have looked at all different alternatives, raising Cherry Creek, raising Chatfield, raising Dillon, a plains reservoir, extensive development of ground water. We have fifteen or twenty of these different alternatives that we have looked at and decided weren't worth being pursued any further. So we will have a brief write-up on each of those. As I say, we intend to finish the report, the first draft the continuation, by June 30. Hopefully, by the end of October the draft EIS and the proposed -9-
