This authorization was based on the favorable findings 'of <br /> <br />feasibility investigations completed in 1959 and the strong support <br /> <br />from state and local interests. <br /> <br />The Definite Plan Report was completed in January 1972. <br /> <br />Location and DescriPtion <br /> <br />The project is located in south central Wyoming and northwestern <br /> <br />Colorado in the Little Snake River Basin of the Upper Colorado River Basin. <br /> <br />The project, as planned, will be a multipurpose development to <br /> <br />regulate water in the tributaries of the Little Snake River for flood <br /> <br />control, recreation, irrigation, and fishery use. The project will be <br /> <br />generally compatible with the environment of the area. <br /> <br />Storage regulation will be provided in Savery Reservoir on Savery <br /> <br />Creek in Wyoming and in Pot Hook Reservoir on Slater Creek in Colorado. <br /> <br />Storage at the two reservoirs will be correlated so that maximum flood <br /> <br />protection can be obtained in, the Little Snake River Basin. Storage <br /> <br />regulation will also provide stabilization and increase flows for fishery, <br /> <br />particularly in Savery Creek and in the Lit~le Snake River below the"' <br /> <br />project area. <br /> <br />.'~: . <br /> <br />r <br />I <br />. <br /> <br />.~ <br /> <br />~ <br />
