<br />. I <br />. <br /> <br />-\, <br />O~uG8~ <br /> <br />Inactive storage pools of 34,000 acre-feet in Pot Hook Reservoir <br /> <br />and 1,500 acre-feet in Savery Reservoir will be available as permanent <br /> <br />fishing and recreation lakes. Recreation facilities will be provided <br /> <br />at both sites. Rangelands below the project will be improved as wildlife <br /> <br />habitat to compensate for habitat lost through inundation of reservoir <br /> <br />basins and irrigation of new lands. <br /> <br />The project water supply of 51,500 acre-feet will come from rele~~es <br /> <br />, from the reservoirs and usable natural flows that will be diverted by <br /> <br />new and existing canals and ditches. New canals will include the Dolan <br /> <br />Mesa Canal heading on Savery Creek and the Pot Hook Canal heading at the <br /> <br />Pot Hook Reservoir. New lateral systems wi~l be constructed for full <br /> <br />irrigation of new lands. Drains will be constructed as needed. <br /> <br />The total stream depletion of about 26,600 acre-feet will be assigned <br /> <br />on the basis of 15,100 acre-feet for Colorado and 11,500 acre-feet for <br /> <br />Wyoming. <br /> <br />Some Federal and State land will be acquired to permit enlargement <br /> <br />of existing farms and some may be acquired to establish a few new farm <br /> <br />units. <br /> <br />Pro1ect Status <br /> <br />The Appropriation Act for FY 1971 contained $250,000 for the <br /> <br />initiation of project construction which'was written in and approved by <br /> <br />Congress and signed by the President. These funds, shortly thereafter, <br /> <br />were withheld by the Office of Management and Budget and have never been <br />. <br /> <br />released. <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />. <br />1 <br />! <br />1 <br />i <br />1 <br /> <br />t <br />t <br />. <br /> <br />i <br />I <br />f <br />r <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />~ <br />~ <br />
