<br />48. The Colorado Fuel & Iron Corp., owner and operator of the
<br />Sugar Loaf Reservoir, has informally requested 10,000 acre-feet of
<br />project reservoir storage space in addition to replacement of its present
<br />capacity. The Twin Lakes Reservoir & Canal Co, has made a similar
<br />req uest for 54,000 acre-feet of additional reservoir storage space.
<br />Both companies would pay a service charge. Capacities of the po-
<br />tential eastern slope...reservoirs have been tentatively allocated as
<br />follows:

<br />49. The 7 powerplants would have a total installed capacity of
<br />104,,800 kilowatts and an annual average output of 505 million
<br />kilowatt-hours of which 400 million kilowatt-hours would be firm
<br />energy, Losses would reduce the salable energy to approximately
<br />467.2 million kilowatt-hours of which 370 million kilowatt-hours
<br />would be firm. Associated major power facilities include 7 switch-
<br />yards with a combined capacity of 116,440 kilovolt-amperes and a
<br />transmission system consisting of about 400 miles of 115-kilovolt lines
<br />with 9 substations. The transmission system would serve customers
<br />of the United States and would interconnect with other utilities and
<br />enable the interchange and wheeling of power from various sources.
<br />The Colorado Fuel & Iron Corp. intermittently produces waste-heat
<br />electric energy as a result of steel mill operations. If agreements
<br />could be reached, such energy might be fed into the project system
<br />on an exchltnge basis or under some other arrangement, whereby more
<br />efficient project power operation would result. Additional genera-
<br />tion in the Elbert powerplant might accrue from the exchange of
<br />Twin Lakes water involved in the maintenance of fish flows in the
<br />Roaring Fork River,
<br />50. The Pueblo Reservoir would inundate some 500 acres of lITI-
<br />gated land, All other lands in the Eastern Slope reservoir sites and for
<br />the canals are either low value private land or public land. The
<br />eastern slope reservoirs would require the relocation of about 20
<br />miles of State highway and 20 miles of railroad, but no unusually
<br />difficult construction problems have become apparent, The high
<br />altitude and short working season pose some problems for the Sugar
<br />Loaf and Twin Lakes enlargements and associated facilities. The
<br />dam and reservoir sites are situated over glacial moraines which may
<br />result in some seepage; however, tightness beyond stability is not
<br />necessary.

<br />MUNICIPAL WATER SYSTEM
<br />
<br />51. The project could provide supplemental municipal water for
<br />Colorado Sprin~s and Pueblo. Complete replacement of existing
<br />municipal supplIes has been requested by the valley towns of Man-
<br />zanola, Rocky Ford, La Junta, Las Animas, Lamar, Crowley, Wiley,
<br />and Eads, Tentatively, 15,000 acre-feet of project water have been
