<br />c; <br />"..,., <br />...... <br /> <br />Damage from floods originating above Rifle Gap is appar- <br /> <br />ently not extensive enough to warrant an allocation of funds <br /> <br />to Rifle Gap Dam for flood control. <br /> <br />Total Capacity Required for Rifle Gap Reservoir <br /> <br />storage requirements at Rifle Gap under the Rifle Gap Plan <br /> <br />would be as follows: <br /> <br />A.F. <br /> <br />(a) Active Capacity needed without <br />change in supply to Rifle <br />Valley Canals. <br /> <br />6000 <br /> <br />(b) Additional storage desirable for <br />improvement of service to Rifle <br />Valley and Middle Rifle Valley. 2000 <br /> <br />Tot9.1 <br /> <br />1000 <br />9000 <br /> <br />(c) Silt storage <br /> <br />Because of the impossibilit;,' of oper9.ting 9. reservoir and <br /> <br />ditch system with the efficiency assUffied in a study, an addi- <br /> <br />tional 1000 acre-feet of storage has been added, giving a total <br /> <br />recommended capacity of 10,000 acre-feet at Rifle Gap. <br /> <br />In the event that the Rifle Valley lands should not eventually <br /> <br />participate in the storage development, the capacity included for <br /> <br />that purpose, could be utilized in expanding the Silt project as <br /> <br />hereinafter described. <br /> <br />57 <br />
