<br />, <br /> <br />001702 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />s~ring of 1967 will be a significant factor in our operations in 1967-68. <br /> <br /> <br />We estimate that a runoff e~ual to 40% of normal for the 12-month period <br /> <br /> <br />from April 1967 through March 1968 will be sufficient to permit continued <br /> <br />power operation of Colorado River Storage Project units while maintaining <br /> <br />rated head at Hoover. There has been only one year, 1934, during the <br /> <br />1906-66 period of record when the streamflow was lower than this minimum <br /> <br />re~uirement . <br /> <br />GENERAL INVESTIGATIONS <br /> <br />FEASIBILITY INVESTIGATIONS <br /> <br />Feasibility designs and estimates have been completed on all features <br /> <br />for the Battlement Mesa Project except Buzzard Creek Dam. Estimates for <br /> <br />this dam are in progress in the Chief Engineer's office. Reports have <br /> <br />been received from the cooperative agencies except the Bureau of Sport <br /> <br />Fisheries and Wildlife and the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation. Prelimi- <br /> <br />nary data can be furnished by these agencies in advance of their formal <br /> <br />reports, so we do not expect the lack of reports to delay drafting of the <br /> <br />project feasibility report. The scheduled completion date for the pro- <br /> <br />posed feasibility report is February 1967. Appendixes have been completed <br /> <br />in draft form for Project Lands, Drainage, Plan Formulation, and Agri- <br /> <br />cultural Economy. Preparation of the Designs and Estimates, Operation <br /> <br />and Maintenance, and Financial and Economic Appendixes is underway. <br /> <br />l~water supply studies and agricultural economic studies are in pro- <br /> <br />gress on the Bluestone Project. As tentatively planned, the. Bluestone <br /> <br />Project would provide water for the irrigation of about 1,850 acres of <br /> <br />full service land and 3,430 acres of supplemental service land and would <br /> <br />develop about 12,000 acre-feet of municipal and industrial water.
