Recreational and Public Health Aspects <br /> <br />If, as tho Bureau predicts, there is an influx of tremendous numbers <br /> <br />of fishermen and recreationalists, it hardly seems fair to expect an area <br /> <br />deprived of a large percent of its tax base to pick up added burdens in <br /> <br />the areas of emergency services, police patrol and garbage collecting. <br /> <br />In their haste to provide flood protection and life saving measures <br /> <br />due to floods on the South Platte River. the Bureau seems to have over- <br /> <br />looked the indisputable fact that more lives are lost on the small Jackson <br /> <br />Lake due to boating accidents than lives lost to drowning below the Narrows <br /> <br />on the South Platte River. <br /> <br />The Bureau of Reclamation agrees with the recommendations of the <br /> <br />Public Health Service (Department of HEW) that the majority of these <br /> <br />,-. <br /> <br />problems must be dealt with and we feel that it is high time the solutions <br /> <br />and the costs be made a part of the Report on the Narrows Unit in Colorado. <br /> <br />f" <br /> <br />.., <br />/ L <br />
