<br />, <br /> <br />~ <br />~i~ <br /> <br />290,000 recreation days annually for boating, <br /> <br />swimming, water skiing, picnicking, camping, fishing, <br /> <br />and hunting. <br /> <br />To mitigate the predicted adverse impact on white- <br /> <br />water boating, the project operational plan would be <br /> <br />designed ~o predict high runoff in the spring and <br /> <br />to make reservoir releases that would provide boating <br /> <br />flows. These releases would be announced in advance <br /> <br />and grouped together for periods of five or more <br /> <br />consecutive days to create the most favorable conditions. <br /> <br />This measure would encourage the most effective use <br /> <br />of available flows and could reduce the expected <br /> <br />decrease in boater days from 1,470 to 870. <br /> <br />(2) Give the estimate of recreation needs at authorization. <br /> <br />Estimates were not made. <br /> <br />(3) If available give the current estimate of recreation <br /> <br />needs, <br /> <br />Unmet recreation demands in southwestern Colorado <br /> <br />have been estimated by the State at 2,668,000 visitor <br /> <br />days in 1975 and 4,361,000 visitor days by 1980. <br /> <br />h.
