<br />before tran6l1l0untain diversions 1!'Ould be started is the !lspen
<br />/
<br />
<br />Reservoir on the ~oaring fork Abel' near the town of Asp~, Oolorado.
<br />The reservoir would be created by an earth fill dam about 90 feet in
<br />
<br />height. The reservoir would have an active capacity of 28,000 acre-
<br />
<br />feet and would inundate about 650 acres. The water stored in Aspen
<br />
<br />Reservoir would be released during periods of low river flow, thus
<br />preventing interference with the enjoY1llent of the rights of Western
<br />Slope water users. The capacity and operation of this reservoir are
<br />
<br />stipuJa ted in the operating principles recommended by the Policy
<br />and Review Oommittee and approved by the Colorado Water Conserva-
<br />
<br />tion"oard.
<br />
<br />Diversion of water fran the Fryingpan River watershed lUluld
<br />
<br />be accomplished through construction of a system of collection
<br />
<br />tunnels and conduits to ,tap the tributary streams and convey the
<br />
<br />wate~ to a central point on the Fryingpan ftiver from which the
<br />
<br />,
<br />water would be carried under the Oontinental Divide through the
<br />
<br />Fryingpan-Arkansas Tunnel. This main tunnel would be about six
<br />
<br />
<br />miles in length <md would have a capacity of 900 cubic feet per
<br />
<br />second.
<br />
<br />The imported water and native water of the Lake "ork of the
<br />
<br />Arkansas River, to the e;<tent that equitable agreement can be reached
<br />with the decreed water right owners, would be stored and regulated
<br />in the Sugar Loaf Reservoir. This reservoir has a present capacity
<br />
<br />of 17,000 acre-feet <md would be enlarged to ll7,OOO acre-feet.
<br />At ma.xilllUlll capacity the reservoir would inundate about 1,550
<br />acres with an earth fill dam about 140 feet high.
