<br />COLORADO RlVER RECOVERY PROGRAM <br />FY 2002 ANNUAL PROJECT REPORT <br /> <br />RECOVERY PROGRAM <br />PROJECT NUMBER: C-5 <br /> <br />I. Project Title: Fish Passage at the Price-Stubb Diversion Dam. <br /> <br />II. Principal Investigator(s): <br /> <br />Bob Norman <br />Bureau of Reclamation <br />2764 Compass Drive, Suite 106 <br />Grand Junction, CO 81506 <br />(970) 248-0634 <br />FAX (970) 248-0601 <br />morman@uc.usbr.gov <br /> <br />III. Project Summary: Provide fish passage at the Price-Stubb Diversion Dam <br /> <br />IV, Study Schedule: Project is scheduled to be constructed in FY 2005. <br /> <br />V. Relationship to RlPRAP: <br />COLORADO RlVER ACTION PLAN: MAIN STEM <br />II.B,2, Restore fish passage at Price Stubb <br />II.B.2,a, Evaluate and implement viable options, <br />II.B.2,a.( I) Obtain landowner consent/agreement. <br />II.B.2.a.(2) Site design/environmental compliance. <br />II.B.2.a.(3) Construct. <br /> <br />VI. Accomplishment of FY 02 Tasks and Deliverables: <br /> <br />Alternative designs for a rock-type fish passage were evaluated in Reclamation's <br />hydraulic lab in Denver. A hydraulic model to evaluate passage options was constructed and <br />tested in Reclamation's Denver Office, It does appear to be feasible to construct a passageway <br />similar to the GVIC fish passageway. Costs for this type of passageway appear to be <br />significantly higher than a conventional fish ladder. Landslide monitoring has also continued. <br /> <br />FERC Hydropower License -In 1990, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission <br />(FERC) granted a license to develop a hydroelectric power generation project at the dam site (the <br />Jacobson Hydro No, I Project). The project was put on hold in 1994, and has not been <br />constructed, FERC amended the Jacobson Hydro No. I license in September 2001, The <br />amendment included the means to reimburse the licensee for the cost of the fish passage. The <br />maximum amount of the reimbursement was the anticipated cost of the least-cost passage <br />alternative. The license had several performance requirements which were not achieved, <br />Consequently, the license was temlinated by FERC on July 15,2002, <br /> <br />price-stubb passage C-5 page I <br />
