In the event <br /> <br />that more detailed studies would alter the justification of the <br /> <br />larger unit, such development could be deferred for the future; <br /> <br />whereas, it is unlikely that further studies of Juniper Dam and <br /> <br />Reservoir and irrigation of the'9,000 acres in the Maybell-Sunbeam <br /> <br />area would be found unjustified with feasibility studies. <br /> <br />A feasibility study of the first phase of the development <br /> <br />is estimated to cost about $400,000 and would require about three <br /> <br />years to complete field surveys of the dam, reservoir, project <br /> <br />lands, recreation, and related facilities.
