<br />
<br />when the following proceedings, among othe rs, \lere had and dopc, to-wit:
<br />
<br />It was moved by Commissioner Grant and duly seconded by Commissioner that the
<br />following Resolution be adopted as presented:
<br />
<br />WHEREAS, it has been proposed by the Bureau of Reclamation of the Department
<br />of the Interior of the United States to build a reservoir near Fort !:iargan, Colorado
<br />at what is kno~TI as the Narrqws Site, to have a total capacity of 1,800,000 acre
<br />feet, of which 250,000 acre feet would be for flood control; and
<br />l~hER~S, the matter is being considered by the Colorado Conservation Board with
<br />a vicw to making recommendations on behalf of Colorado respecting such project,
<br />NOr., TliliREFORE, B" IT FlliOiOIJI )<,D:
<br />That said Board shouJd reprcaent the position of Color'ldo to be as follows:
<br />l. From the standpoint of flood control, a number of small reservoirs to
<br />control tributaries before damage is done should bc thoroughly investigated as a
<br />substitute for the Narrows Reservoir.
<br />2. Conside:-ation should be given to moving the HarroVls Reservoir to a nearby
<br />si te for construction on a much smalls r plan which Hill overcome damage to the
<br />existing eco:'iomy v':,ich would be dislocated by the construc tion of the presently
<br />proposed reservoir.
<br />3. That this ore~nization believes that priority should be givcn to the Chat-
<br />field flood control project over the Narrows Roscrvoir project because said former
<br />project will give'upstrean protcction bctwcen its loc~tion and the location of the
<br />Narrows Ueservoir, and after its construction, exp8riu~c~ !~ay d8monstrate that its
<br />construction together with construction of other u"s~r..s", reservoirs vJill make it
<br />possible to greatly economize on the construction of a r8servoir at or near the
<br />llarrows site.
<br />
<br />4. Construction of higher reservoirs will tend to benefit downstream irriga-
<br />tion thus producing incidental benefits from the head':!aters t,lrough the entire
<br />length of tIle H"t~e iliver in Colorado, as well as gaining the benefit of more com-
<br />plete flood control protection.
<br />
<br />Upon roll call the vote lias: Commissioner Hobins, Yes; Commissioner Grant, Yes;
<br />Commissioner Giggal, Yes.
<br />
<br />The Chairman declared the motion carried and so ordered.
