Remarks

Thorough investi-
gation be made of
all other sites and

Ir-:-
investigation made
of feasibility and
cost of construct-
ing many small reser-
voirs on tribu-
taries of the South
Platte River before
construction of
Narrows. Priority
given to construct-
ion of fl09d control
reservoirs nearer the
headwaters of the
South Platte River.

Too expensive,
extravagant, and
wasteful. Better
and more economical
flood control can be
achieved by construct-
ion of smaller dams
on the upper reaches
of tributary streams.
Construction of
Narrows would pre-
vent all new con-
struction on the
Cache la Poudre River
and its tributaries.

Withhold approval
until agreements are
made on the following:
recognition of re-
filling rights, ad-
judications shall
protect all upstream 1=
storage rights in-
cluding future con-
struction, State
courts control ad-
judication prior-
ities and operation
of reservoir, and
operation should
be in the same manner
as Caddoa Dam.
