<br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />\ <br /> <br />\ <br />\ <br />. <br /> <br />.i". <br /> <br /> <br />3046 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Fort Horgan. 'rhe NarrOl"s Dam would be an earthfill str.ucture about <br /> <br />11,6 feet high with a crest length of 22,100 feet. Three dikes having <br /> <br />a combined length of about 12,700 feet also would be necessary. The <br /> <br />Narro\>ls Reservoir would have a total controlled capacity of 973,000 <br /> <br />aere~feet at the top of the flood control pool. <br /> <br />Rights-oi-way adequate for construction and operation and <br /> <br />maintenance of the dam and reservoir, assod.ated relocations, and <br /> <br />for recreation and fish and wildlife developments \'lould require the <br /> <br />acquisition or approximately 36,250 acres or land. Re10cati,on of <br /> <br />the Union Pacific Railroad and State HighHay 144 would be required. <br /> <br />The construction of a fish hatchery and rearing po'nds and the <br /> <br />acquisition and development or the existing Jackson Lake Reservoir, <br /> <br />nOH privately owned, are proposed for outdoor recreation and fish <br /> <br />and wildlife enhancerr,ent. A wildlife management area and rour puh1ic- <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />use recreation areas are also proposed for development. <br /> <br />Because of inadeq111lte water supplies, the areas irrigated within <br /> <br />the lower South Platte River Basin, including the Narrows Unit service <br /> <br />area, have been limited, and the full irrigation potential has failed <br /> <br />to materialize. The frequent lack of sufricient surface water supplies <br /> <br />has caused many irrigators to construct wells for p\mlping ground water <br /> <br />for supplemental irrigation. Water supply shortages have been further <br /> <br />.~intensified by severe droughts, which' cause serious depletions of the <br /> <br />surface water supply and result in a greater demand on the wells. <br />
