<br />011' ,.,; ~., :) <br />Oc.~_ VM <br /> <br />- 18 - <br /> <br />This was because in this study the estimated available flows <br />were higher and the spills smaller than in the Bureau's estimates. <br />b. Coyote Park Area. <br />The Colorado portion of the Dulce-Chama-Navajo Project <br />agregates about 3,700 acres in the Coyote Park area. 1his land <br />lies between the Little Navajo River and the Rio Blanco and could <br />conceivably be served by an extension from the collection conduit <br />of the San Juan-Chama Project. This would probably be a more <br />economical development than serving this area from the Navajo <br />River as outlined in the 1955 Report, or from extensions to the <br />San Juan-Chama Project as outlined in the 1957 Supplemental Report. <br />If the Colorado portion of the Dulce-Chama-Navajo Project <br />were developed as an adjunct part of the San Juan-Chama Project, <br />the divertable flow for the transmountain diversion would be <br />reduced. The result would be to reduce the initial stage diversion <br />of the San Juan-Chama Project from 110,000 acre feet per year to <br />about 95,000 acre feet per year. The provision of a regulatory <br />reservoir at Blanco Basin on the Rio Blanco, would in large <br />measure compensate for this reduction. <br />The Supplemental Report outlines a stage development of the <br />San Juan-Chama Project which appears to be feasible. Provision <br />should be made, however, to develop the Coyote Park area of the <br />Dulce Project with the realization that the transmountain diversion <br />to New Mexico would be reduced if Coyote Park were developed with- <br />out an additional extension to the first stage San Juan-Chama <br />Proj ect. <br /> <br />-'- ~ -" <br />
