For example, boat ramps have problems with <br />sand deposition after periods of rapid lake drawdown. Project definition will have to specify <br />changes in reservoir levels and streamflows throughout the system to allow particular impacts to <br />be identi fied. <br /> <br />USFS would be concerned if more transmountain deliveries are made to Lake Creek, which has <br />experienced severe erosion problems. <br /> <br />Pueblo Reservoir Enlargement. USFS has nothing that would be affected by this altemative. <br /> <br />Gravel Lakes Storage. USFS has nothing that would be affected by this alternative. <br /> <br />Williams Creek Reservoir. USFS has nothing that would be affected by this alternative. <br /> <br />Permittinl! and Rel!Ulatorv Issues <br /> <br />The group discussed permitting and regulatory issues. The dams and related facilities at <br />Turquoise Reservoir and Twin Lakes are on USBR land. However, increasing the storage pool <br />level at Turquoise Reservoir would require acquiring an easement on USFS land. <br /> <br />Ken Marler handed out descriptions of the USFS screening process for approving Special Use <br />Permit requests and reviewing NEP A documents, and other information related to USFS policies. <br /> <br />USFS has a Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (FLRMP) for each District. The current <br />document (a very large document) is on file in all District offices and in the Lakewood office. Joe <br />Hill, USFS Pueblo District Office (719-545-8737) can provide a copy. Vic Eklund at CSU <br />probably has a copy also. <br /> <br />If West Slope diversions are an issue, a different USFS District will be involved. <br /> <br />Lead Ae:encv <br /> <br />USBR has been tentatively identified as the Lead Agency for future NEPA activities. <br /> <br />Contacts <br /> <br />Linda Fox will be the main USFS contact. USFS requested 3-4 copies of documents submitted <br />for their information or review, so Linda can distribute them to the right people. <br /> <br />USFS staff were invited to the October 8 meeting of the Storage Study Committee (SECWCD <br />office) for a presentation of the engineering feasibility report of storage alternatives. <br /> <br />3 of 3 <br />
