the geological investigations, collection
of agricultural economic data, and prepara-
tion of design data are in progress. Other
studies nearing completion are water supply
and land classification and drainage investi-
gations. Coordination with the Forest Ser-
vice, Bureau of Outdoor Recreation, Bureau
of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife, and the
Colorado Department of Game, Fish, and Parks
on multiple-purpose aspects of the plan are
continuing. The proposed feasibility report
is scheduled to be completed by the end of
FY 1970.

Feasibility investigations consisting
of plan formulation studies, including
possible power generation at Taylor Park
Reservoir, and the collection of water
supply field data are still in progress on
the Upper Gunnison project. The proposed
feasibility report is scheduled for comple-
tion in FY 1971.

We are continuing coordinating planning
and negotiations with the Uncompahgre Project
water users and the upper Gunnison District
on coordination of Taylor Park Reservoir
operation and Curecanti power generation,
Uncompahgre water requirements, fishery,
recreation, and flood control in the
Gunnison Basin area.

The Yel:ow Jacket proposed ~easibility
report was completed early in October and
distributed to federal, state, and local
agencies for review and comment. The project
would regulate flows of the North Fork of
the White River and Milk Creek, a tributary
of the Yampa River, to provide irrigation
water for 23,610 acres of land and develop
about 55,500 acre-feet of water for municipal
and industrial purposes annually, and provide
recreation and fish and wildlife benefits in
the White River Basin.
