. CHAFTER III DESIGNS AND ESTIMATES Crystal Creek channel protection Work on the 2-mile stream segment between the juncture of Dyer Fork and Crystal. Creek and the Crystal. Creek Diversion Dam would include replacement of the county bridge, dikes and bank protection, and removal of the existing Fruitland Ditch Diversion Dam. Flood easements would be obtained for lands adjacent to the stream channel. The cost estimate for the Black Mesa Conduit includes an allowance fot' protection and improvement of 0.7 mile of the Cryetal Creek channel between the tunnel outlet and the confluence of Dyer Fot'k and Crystal. Creek. This would cover work necessary to insure the continued opera- tion of the Crystal Val.ley ditch. Recreational facilities . Subject to later detailed planning, the National Park Service and the Forest Service have recommended that recreational areas be deve~oped along the west side of the Soap Park Reservoir basin. Facilities would include a boerlaunching ramp, dOCk, cattleguard, fencing, parking areas, picnic-camping-trailer units, pit type toilets, informational. signs, markers, and barriers. The recreational. facilities als" would include 4.5 mi.les of new road along tl1e west side of the reservoir to meet the needs for fire protection and recreation use imposed by the project. The costs of providing basic recreational. facilities have been estimated at $138,000 and $100,000 by the Forest Service and National Park Service, respectively. :tt is anticipated that the Forest Service would plan, construct, and administer the facilities. The Park Service cost estimate is used in the report analyses, however, since the Park Service furnished an estimate of benefits which is used in the project financial analysis. The Forest Service estilllEte provides for en expend- iture of Forest Service funds for which no estimate of benefits has been furnished. Construction housing . Because the project is spread over a large area and because of the mountainous topography, three separate construction camps are expected to be required. One camp near the Soap Park Dam would serve features east of the Black Mesa, including the Soap Park Dam, Black Mesa Canal, and the upper end of' the Black Mesa tunnel. This camp would consist of about 30 trailers and relocatsble type housing units and ons permanent structure that would be used for an office and laboratory bUilding dur- ing construction and converted to a caretaker's residence after construc- tion. Another camp, ~ocated at or n.ear the town of Crawford, would serve features west of' the Black Mesa, including the canals and laterals, Crystal Creek Diversion Dam, end the lower end of the Black Mesa tunnel. This camp would consist of s,bout 20 trailers end relocate.ble type housing 24
