Strickland <br />President of the Senate <br />Colorado General Assembly <br />State Capitol <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br /> <br />Mr. Carl B. Bledsoe <br />Speaker of the House of Representatives <br />Colorado General Assembly <br />State Capitol <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br /> <br />Gentlemen: <br /> <br />Section 7 of S.B. 439, 1981 Session (Chapter 426, Session <br /> <br />Laws of Colorado 1981) directed the Colorado Water Conservation <br /> <br />Board to study the Yellow Jacket project, which project would be <br /> <br />located in the White River Basin above the confluence of piceance <br /> <br />Creek with the White River. The Board contracted with <br /> <br />International Engineering Company, Inc., to perform the study, <br /> <br />the executive summary of which is enclosed herewith. The full <br /> <br />report is being printed and will be transmitted subsequently. <br /> <br />The Yellow Jacket study has proceeded in three steps. In <br /> <br />the first step, 16 potential reservoirs and various combinations <br /> <br />thereof were cursorily examined. A preliminary screening of <br /> <br />these yielded eight potential projects consisting of one or more <br /> <br />reservoirs. In the second step, these eight potential projects <br /> <br />were briefly analyzed and compared. Based on these evaluations, <br /> <br />three alternative projects, each consisting of a single <br /> <br />reservoir, were selected for more detailed analysis in the third <br /> <br />and final step of the study. <br /> <br />190 <br />yj/d <br />
