Aspinall Unit of the Colorado River Storage Project <br />(Aspinall Unit), formerly known as the Curecanti Unit. Although the <br />Aspinall Unit produces a significant amount of hydroelectric power, it is <br />classified herein as a regulatory system because it was constructed <br />primarily to regulate Gunnison River flow. The Aspinall Unit is owned <br />and operated by the United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR). <br /> <br />The only commercial hydroelectric system in the study area is the <br />Ouray Hydroe1 ectric Faci1 ity. The Rocky Mountai n Biological Laboratory <br />operates a microhydro station but it generates power for use by the lab <br />and is not discussed since it is not a commercial plant. <br /> <br />The primary agricultural entities in the study area are the Upper <br />Gunnison River Water Conservancy District, the Uncompahgre Valley Water <br />Users Association (UVWUA), and the Bostwick Park Water Conservancy <br />Di stri ct. There are also numerous private agricultural di tches in the <br />study area. <br /> <br />The largest purveyor of M&I water in the study area is the Project 7 <br />Water Authority, which treats and delivers water to the cities of <br />Montrose, 01athe, and Delta, as well as to the rural water systems <br />operated by Tri-County Water Conservancy District, Chipeta Water Company, <br />and Menoken Water Company. M&I systems are also operated by the <br />municipalities of Gunnison, Crested Butte, Ouray, and Ridgway. Other <br />significant MU water suppliers in the study area include Mt. Crested <br />Butte Water and Sanitation District, Skyland Metropo1 itan District, and <br />Lake City Area Water and Sanitation District. <br /> <br />Most of the water suppliers and physical facilities described herein <br />serve a s i ng1 e-purpose type of water use or where more than one use is <br /> <br />B-2 <br /> <br />fl r' i r)' f': 7. 6 2 9 <br />lJ ~.l-.I... ., ~ <br />
