5.2.2 Recreation Components <br />A large number of potential recreation improvement opportunities were <br />identified in the study area. While all of these would result in improved. <br />recreational opportunities, not all of them would result in "... increased <br />tourism and related economic benefits..." as required by Target Objective 2. <br />The preliminary list was reviewed to identify the components that would meet <br />the study target objectives. The resulting list of components was then <br />screened on the basis of technical, environmental, economic and institutional <br />factars to arrive at a list of recreation camponents recomsstended for inclusion <br />in alternative plans. That list is presented in Table 5.2. <br />5.3 STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS <br />Since no M&I shortages were identified in the study area, no components <br />were considered for the sole purpose of ineeting future M&I needs. It was <br />recognized, however, that it may become desirable for the City of Gunnison to <br />convert from its present 9roundwater system to a surface water system with <br />storage in the future as discussed in the report, Water Suoolv Svstem <br />Evaluation and Im�lementation Plan, prepared by WRC Engineering, Inc., in <br />1981. Although the City has contracted to purchase water and storage space <br />from the proposed Union Park Reservoir, the possi6ility of servi�g the City's <br />potential storage needs was taken into consideration when identifying storage <br />reservoirs to meet other in-basin purposes. This was achieved by locating <br />potential reservoirs to be able to serve that purpose from a pBysicaT and <br />hydrologic standpoint. <br />5-4 <br />
