<br />CGi'l <br /> <br />Fryingpan-Arkansas Project <br /> <br /> <br />Mt. Elbert Pumped-Storage Powerplant <br /> <br />activities. Facilities consist of a boat ramp, boat and <br />trailer parking lot, and two parking lots with minimum <br />sanitary facilities. Construction of the Mt. Elbert Con- <br />duit will permit delivery of up to 3,000 gallons per <br />minute of high quality water to the Leadville National <br />Fish Hatchery. Dominant big game species are deer and <br />elk, which migrate into the Twin Lakes area each winter <br />and scatter throughout the area during the summer. Elk <br />range north of the lakes in winter. Big and small game <br />hunting in season is allowed in the areas adjacent to <br />Twin Lakes. <br /> <br />Major recreation development planned for Pueblo Reser- <br />voir will provide water~oriented recreation in the Arkan- <br />sas Valley. Facilities are being constructed by the Bureau <br />of Reclamation and managed by the Colorado Depart- <br />ment of Natural Resources. North and South Shore boat <br />ramp, marina, parking, and harbor excavations have <br />been completed. <br /> <br />A combination warm water fish hatchery and cold water <br />rearing unit, to be managed and administered by the <br />State of Colorado's Department of Natural Resources, <br />will be constructed downstream from Pueblo Dam. This <br />hatchery will provide most of the fingerlings for stocking <br />Pueblo Reservoir and other reservoirs, streams and lakes <br />within the project. <br /> <br />PROJECT DATA <br /> <br />Land Areas (1980) <br /> <br />lrrigllblt' urea: <br />Supplemental irrigntion servic(' . . . . . . . . <br />Number of irrigated fnrms . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . <br /> <br />280.600 acres <br />1.529 <br /> <br />Facilities in Operation I <br /> <br />Storagedam8........,.......... . <br />DiversiOIl dams and structures. . . . . . . . . . . . . <br />Canals.....................,..,....... . <br />Conduit (indudes siphons I .. ........... .. . <br />Powerplants ............................ <br /> <br />6 <br />17 <br />4.3 mi <br />281.6 mi <br />2 <br /> <br />Transmissions lines. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . <br />Switchyards . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . <br />Substations'........,.................,. . <br /> <br />'runnels..,............................ . <br /> <br />11ft) <br /> <br />9 <br /> <br />11.6 mi <br />2 <br />2 <br />26.7 mi <br /> <br />lThe facilities data include all project features. either completed. under <br />construction, or proposed. <br /> <br />Climatic Conditions <br /> <br />Annual precipitation ..................... <br />Temperature: <br />Maximum............................. . <br />Minimum............................. . <br />Mean ... ........... ........ ......... ... <br />Gro\\-.ingseason......................... . <br />Elevation of irrigable area......,.......... <br /> <br />Settlement <br /> <br />Number of persons served with project water: <br />Rural....... ............ ....... ........ <br />Cities......,.......................... . <br />Other water service. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . <br />Total................................. . <br /> <br />ENGINEERING DATA <br /> <br />Water Supply <br /> <br />ARKANSAS RIVEn <br /> <br />Drainage area near Pueblo Dam. . . . . . , . . . . . <br />Annual discharge: <br />Maximum............................. . <br />Minimum............................. . <br />Average............................... . <br />(Does not include water diverted from the <br />western slope.) <br /> <br />FRYINGPAN RIVEH <br /> <br />Drainage area near Ruedi Dam. . . . . . . . . . . . <br />Annual discharge: <br />Maximum............................. . <br />Minimum..,.......................... . <br />Average....,.......................... . <br /> <br />LAKE FORK CHEEK <br /> <br />Drainage area near Sugar Loaf Dam . . . . . . . . <br />Average annual discharge............,.... <br /> <br />LAKE CREE:K <br /> <br />Drainage area near Twin Lakes Dam. . . <br />Average annual discharge................. <br /> <br />Storage Facilities <br /> <br />RUEDI DAM <br /> <br />Type: Earth and rockfill <br />Location: On the Fryingpan River about 15 <br />mi east of Basalt.
