The study deter- <br />mined that the Navina site would be the preferred plan for development of a sur- <br />face water supply on Cottonwood Creek. However, local interest in the project <br />diminished and the study was terminated. <br /> <br />The State of Oklahoma continues to give the Seward Project high priority for <br />future development. The project should be reexamined when additional com- <br />munities with sufficient water needs have expressed a definite interest in <br />participating in the potential project. <br /> <br />DESCRIPTION: A feasibility-level study of the water resource development poten- <br />tial of Cottonwood Creek in Logan County, central Oklahoma, for development of a <br />water supply for Guthrie, Edmond, and other communities in the central Oklahoma <br />area. Additional needs evaluated were flood control, recreation, fish and <br />wildlife, and environmental quality. <br /> <br />79, Lake Meredith Salinity Study Project, TX (Active) <br /> <br />STATUS: An appraisal report was completed October 1979 recommending a feasibil- <br />ity study of methods to reduce the salinity of Canadian River water flowing into <br />Lake Meredith. Funding to conduct feasibility work was received for the fiscal <br />year 1983-84 program. <br /> <br />DESCRIPTION: Appraisal study to locate point sources contributing to high level <br />salt concentrations in Lake Meredith. Feasibility study to evaluate the possi- <br />bility of eliminating or reducing the flow of brine water entering the <br />Canadian River channel. <br /> <br />83, Raton Water Supply Project, NM (Inactive) <br /> <br />STATUS: Studies have been completed, and a concluding report should be released <br />in late fiscal year 1981. The report identifies two viable alternatives for <br />augmenting the city's water supply--a ground water pumping plan from the <br />Capulin Basin and a surface water diversion plan from the Cimarron River below <br />Eagle Nest Lake. Raton has elected to privately construct the Cimarron diver- <br />sion plan when funding arrangements are finalized. <br /> <br />DESCRIPTION: Various plans were investigated at the feasibility level for pro- <br />viding the immediate and long-range M&I water needs of the city of Raton, <br />New Mexico. <br /> <br />41 <br />
