<br />oc <br />00 <br />ro <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />SUMMARY SHEETS <br /> <br />Smith Fork project <br /> <br />LOCATION: Hest-central Colorado along Smith Fork of Gunnison River in <br />vicinity of Crawford, Colo., Upper Colorado River Basin. <br /> <br />AUTHORIZED: Authorized as a participating project with the Colorado River <br />Storage project by act of April ll, 1956 (70 Stat. 105). <br /> <br />PLAN <br />- <br /> <br />Crawford Reservoir will be constructed on Iron Creek, a tributary <br />of Smith Fork. The reservoir will regulate surplus flows of Iron <br />Creek and surplus flows of the Smith Fork of the Gunnison River <br />that will be conveyed to the reservoir by the Smith Fork Feeder <br />Canal. Small quantities of reservoir storage water will be released <br />to Iron Creek and diverted by several small existing ditches. The <br />remainder will be released to the new Aspen Canal and conveyed by <br />the canal to existing ditches for distribution. Some of the stor- <br />age releases through the Aspen Canal will replace present direct <br />flow diversions from Smith Fork, thus permitting additional direct <br />flow diversions to be made higher on the stream through existing <br />ditches, Drains ,Till be constructed as needed. Basic recreational <br />facilities ,Till be provided at Crawford Reservoir. <br /> <br />COSTS <br /> <br />Construction costs!! <br />Crawford Dam and Reservoir . . . . . . . . <br />Smith Fork Feeder Canal and Diversion Dam . <br /> <br />AspenCanal .................. <br />Landdrains ............... <br />Operation and maintenance headquarters . . . <br />Recreational facilities .. . . . . . <br /> <br />Total . . . . . . . . . . . . . <br />Y Based on August 1958 prices. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />$3,275,000 <br />345,000 <br />721,000 <br />41,000 <br />9,000 <br />29,000 <br />4,420,000 <br /> <br />. . . <br /> <br />. . <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. . <br /> <br />. . <br /> <br />. . <br /> <br />. . <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. . . <br /> <br />Annual 0 eration and maintenance costs <br />Based on 1955-57 prices <br /> <br />. . . . . . . . <br /> <br />$15,800 <br />
