Brief Description of Action <br /> <br />This supplement discusses construction of the Fountain Valley Conduit's <br />new alinement. The conduit is 45 miles long and will be for conveyance <br />of municipal and industrial waters between Pueblo Dam and the city of <br />Colorado Springs and other Fountain Valley communities. The former <br />alinement went from Canon City to Colorado Springs. This proposed <br />alinement for the conduit was not discussed in the April 16, 1975, <br />Final Environmental Statement for the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project, <br />Colorado (FES 75-43). The proposed conduit would transport 20,100 <br />acre-feet of water annually. <br /> <br />3. Summary of Environmental Impacts: Land committed to the conduit <br />and associated facilities would create an insignificant loss of habitat. <br />Approximately two hundred ninety acres of land would be acquired <br />in easement and 30 acres in fee title. The fee acquired land, when <br />removed from the tax rolls of Pueblo and EI Paso Counties, will affect the <br />combined tax structures less than one percent. <br /> <br />4. Alternatives Considered: No development, Parkdale alternative, <br /> <br />Ggl.t M~le aIternati.e, Red Creek &aftyon-a-l-t'eflHltive, and-t-he--8mon City <br /> <br />route. <br /> <br />5.
