<br />. <br /> <br />current development plans reflect the ownership and water require- <br /> <br />ments of the subscribing entities. The current plans for develop- <br /> <br /> <br />ment will utilize the yield of the project 60 percent for <br /> <br /> <br />industrial, 25 percent for municipal, and 15 percent for agricul- <br /> <br /> <br />tural use. <br /> <br />The Project, when constructed, will consist of a roller com- <br /> <br />pacted concrete dam with a maximum structural height of 145 feet <br /> <br />at elevation 7,210 feet. The dam will have a crest length of 897 <br /> <br /> <br />feet with a central overflow spillway of 50 feet in width at ele- <br /> <br /> <br />vation 7,200 feet. The dam will create a reservoir with a surface <br /> <br /> <br />area of 777 acres and a capacity of approximately 33,720 acre-feet <br /> <br />of which approximately 3,500 acre-feet will be inactive storage. <br /> <br />-- <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Climate <br /> <br />The climate of the area is characterized by long, severe <br /> <br />winters and relatively short, mild summers. The mountains which <br /> <br />surround the area afford some protection from the temperature <br /> <br />extremes experienced at some locations in the lower Yampa Valley. <br /> <br />The normal daily summer temperatures range from 70 to 90 degrees <br /> <br />for the maximum and from 35 to 50 degrees for the minimum. Tables <br /> <br />1 and 2 show the average climatic conditions at Yampa and <br /> <br />Steamboat Springs. It will be noted that although the elevation <br /> <br />of Yampa is considerably higher than Steamboat, the average <br /> <br />growing season is longer and the temperature extremes are less. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />1-3 <br />
