<br />, <br /> <br />proposed local protection project would change the regimen of the <br />Arkansas River in the vicinity of the Las Animas gaging station and <br />necessitate relocation of the gage and.cableway, and that the cost of <br />such relocation should be borne by the project. He stated further <br />that, since the station is a "key point" in the administration of the <br />Arkansas River Compact and the operation of John Martin Reservoir, the <br />station should be improved by the addition of an artificial control. <br />Inasmuch as the stream gage is located on the north bank of the old <br />Arkansas River channel, about 700 yards downstream from the U.S. High- <br />way 50 bridge, it would not be disturbed by construction of the proposed <br />Las Animas Local Protection Project. Also, the Arkansas River Compact <br />Administration, in its Fourteenth Annual Report (1962), recommended <br />relocation of the station because of the deteriorated channel con- <br />ditions (aggradation) which al.low a greater percentage of the flow to <br />enter the pi lot channel and make it increasingly difficult to obtain <br />accurate measurements. It is therefore concluded that the cost of <br />relocation should not be borne by the project. <br /> <br />e.
