The Forest Service has developed an overall <br />plan for the recreation facilities at Turquoise Lake and is constructing <br />them by phases as money is appropriated by Congress. They have constructed <br />two boat ramps, interior access road to the recreation areas, one <br />campground, and a central sanitary system which will accommodate the <br />anticipated public use. Previously, the Forest Service had to restrict <br />use of the lake for camping because of inadequate sewage disposal <br />systems. <br /> <br />5.

The responsible parties should make every effort <br />to secure a plan and construct adequate facilities to quickly overcome <br />this situation. <br /> <br />Raised by: <br /> <br />Name <br /> <br />Representinll <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Ken Olsen <br />*Tam Scott <br />*Stacy Standley <br />Lester S. Ross <br />Orin Diedrich <br /> <br />Himself <br />Colorado Rivers Council <br />Mayor of Aspen <br />Himself <br />Himself <br /> <br />Responae: <br /> <br />The sanitation problem for the entire Twin Lakes area is a recognized <br />fact. A recent agreement between the Bureau, the Forest Service, and <br />the Board of County Commissioners, Lake County, Colorado, executed <br />between the agencies, provides for a comprehensive study of needed <br />water supply, sewage and aolid waste disposal systems and the develop- <br />ment of alternative systems to solve the pollution problems caused by <br />visitors and by Twin Lakes Village.

This agency has built a central aanitation system at <br />Turquoise Lake to serve the public and will add others as the need <br />increases and money becomes available. <br /> <br />Fund limitations have restricted acquisition of the lands. Parcels <br />are being purchased by stages to accommodate construction of Project <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />XI-486 <br />
