Ten Eyck, Executive Director Colorado Department of Natural Resources 231 Columbine Building 1845 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203 RECEn/ED De- I 291973 cOla ,,,_. CONSfRVAT "'",ifR ION BOARD Dear Mr. Ten Eyck: We are forwarding to you under separate cover ten copies of the Bureau of Reclamation's Concluding Report of August 1973 on the Upper Gunnison Project. The report summarizes and concludes our feasibility studies of the Upper Gunnison Project with the recommendation that no further Federal action be undertaken on the project at this time. Analyses were made of five independent plans for units of the Upper Gum:1ison Project including two alternative plans for the Ohio Creek Unit and plans for the East River, Tomichi Creek, and Cochetopa Creek Units. Only the East River Unit and a single-purpose Ohio Creek Unit for municipal and industrial water were found to be justi- fied. Because of their small size, however, these units were not considered appropriate for Federal development under existing con- ditions. We would appreciate your distributing copies of the report to inter- ested State agencies and consolidating any comments that they may have. In order to expedite the review, we are sending copies of the report directly to the Directors of the Colorado Water Conser- vation Board and the Colorado Division of Wildlife, but are requesting .that they submit their comments to you for consideration along with other views. We would appreciate receiving comments on the report by December 15, 1973. Sincerely yours, D., L Crandall Regional Director Enclosure No. 1777 cc: vD1rector, Colorado Water Conservation Board,. 102 Columbine Bldg., 1845 Sherman St., Denver, Colorado 80203 (w/lO copies of report) Enclosure No. 1778 Director, Colorado Division of Wildlife, 6060 Broadway, Denver, Colorado 80216 w/2 copies of report) - Enclosure No. 1779 i I I .....---..
