<br />, <br /> <br />~ <br />. <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />-5- <br /> <br />In regard to a9cess roads to this dam, no final decision has been made. Blue <br />Mountain lies 011 th, South side of the dam. A road in that vicinity would be <br />high and scenic. H~ever, the gravel deposits are on the West side of the Green <br />rtiver near Red Cany~n and a road in that locality would connect several reservoirs <br />and their opetatingjcamps. These camps have not been finally located, and no <br />decision as y~t has'been possible. <br /> <br />Judge St~nethe. asked on what participating projects detail reports were ready. <br /> <br />Mr. Larson replied that detail reports were complete on the following projectsl <br />Pine River Extensiojil, Florida, La Plata and Hammond. No reports were yet ready on <br />South San Juan, SanjJuan-Chama and Shiprock projects. The report on the Dolores <br />project is 90iperce*t complete. Bids on the dam of the authorized Paonia project <br />were high and were tejected, and it was considered that this should be aparti- <br />cipating proj$ct, ~th exception of the Fire Mountain unit. The Collbran pro- <br />ject report has bee~ completed and is in the Secretary's office. Although this <br />project is self-liqlidating, it might possibly be included in the list of parti- <br />cipating proj$cts. )The report on the Silt project is near completion as well as <br />that for the Smith tork project. The 'Jest Divide project report is in the pre- <br />liminary sta3~. Re~ardinG the Little Snlike project, work is still being done to <br />determine a possibl~ site on Savery Creek, while the Pot Hook site is considered <br />sound. Reports on the Seedskadee and Lyman projects in Wyoming are complete. <br /> <br />He then.asked:for ~uestions or suggestions as to the proposed Colorado River <br />Storage project. . . <br /> <br />~, <br /> <br />Mr. Cla~de Meters asked whether work which had been done on the location of <br />a road from Attesia north to Echo Park, with a maximum grade of 7 percent, would <br />be of any value to ihe Reclamation Bureau in making a decision as to access. roads. <br /> <br />Mr. Lar$on st4ted that no road construction had been conSidered in that area. <br />The road must be cl4se to the gravel deposits, low and out of the snow, at the <br />power plant l$vel t~ facilitate the moving of heavy power equipment. However, all <br />suggestions WO.Uld bt carefUlly considered by the Bureau. Mr. },~ers then aSked if <br />there would be a ro4d on the dan. Mr. Larson said this would undoubtedly be a <br />part of a scenic hiihway, and questions of cost were involved. <br /> <br />Mr. O. P. a. inquired whether Echo Park had been selected as the fi.rst of <br />the series of,rese oirs. Mr. Larson explained that it. was the first to have <br />completed plai,ls, bull that now others were ready. Since. Echo Park is in a National <br />Monument, thequest~on of National Park Service approval of construction is a <br />factor. <br /> <br />i <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />;f~,,'~ <br />, .,"'" <br />^i'n'-,:'lt'i!i <br />
