flows are still limited by the Surface Creek feeder capacity.

This alternative would include the following plan components:

The Cactus Park reservoir with a storage capacity of 19,200 acre-

The Cedaredge canal as described for Alternative No. 1.

The Leroux Creek feeder canal used to convey water with a
capacity of 1;0 cfs from the Leroux Creek basin to Cactus Park
