<br />. <br /> <br />001737 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />CRESTED BUTTE PROJECT <br />_. --.,.- --~.._~--"--- <br /> <br />l'QBP(1SE OF J~!Es..TIG.tl'II)N <br /> <br />Acting under the authority previously cited this <br /> <br />investigation was undertaken primarily to detennine the <br /> <br />feasibility and the prohable cost of developing, by stor- <br /> <br />nge in Lnke Brennan, an adequate supply of domestic water <br /> <br />for the town of Crested Butte. Since the studies for that <br /> <br />purpose showed that there is considerable additional water <br /> <br />storable at a moderate cost, further studies were made to <br /> <br />show, in a preliminary wAY, where such stored water could be <br /> <br />utilized. <br /> <br />A final decision as to the use of the storage in <br /> <br />excess of the needs of Crested Butte, must be conditioned <br /> <br />on the ability to secure certain concessions as to present <br /> <br />vested rights in Loke Brennon water. It should perhaps, <br /> <br />await also the investigation of Ohio Creek and other supplies <br /> <br />which can only be done when at least a few years of Ohio Creek <br /> <br />stream flow and diversion record are secured. This study will, <br /> <br />in the meantime, serve as a record and it is possible that <br /> <br />the Ohio Creek development if made in the near future would <br /> <br />serve, with some changes, any ultimate development in Ohio <br /> <br />valley and the vicinity. <br /> <br />-b- <br />
