Potential storage

Kendig
Beaver Creek
Haystack

Owens Creek
Yank Creek
East Divide Creek

Dry Hollow
Mamm Creek
Buzzard Creek

The above sites, except for Beaver, Mamm and East Divide
Creeks, have been studied previously, either by the USBR in its 1966,
1967 or 1982 work, or by Western Engineers (Ref. 22,42,44).

As preliminary work was completed, addi tiona1 storage loca-
tions were identified. These si tes included Upper Kendig, a site
immediately above the original Kendig and above the Highline Ditch
diversion, Beaver Creek at Tepee Park, a site in the Upper Beaver
Creek basin, and Upper and Lower Mamm Creek sites which allowed
storage for use on Hunter Mesa.
