<br />The Frying Pan-Arkansas project is a multiple pu
<br />pose project. It would divert an annual 69,200 acre.fee
<br />of water from the western to the eastern slope, reregulal
<br />approximately 110,000 acre-feet of Arkansas River wate
<br />aid 322,000 acres of irrigated land, develop addition:
<br />hydroelectric power and other benefits, and supplemer
<br />domestic water supplies in Arkansas valley cities an
<br />towns, including Pueblo and Colorado Springs,
<br />Physically, the plan includes,
<br />1. A system of 50 miles of canals and tunnels 0
<br />the western slope for collection of water from Hunu
<br />creek and the Frying Pan river, tributaries of the Roarin
<br />Fork river. The diversion area, located within the hour
<br />daries of the White River national forest at elevatior
<br />above 10,000 feet, is mountainous and primitive.
<br />2. Construction of the Aspen reservoir with a
<br />active storage capacity of 28,000 acre-feet on the Roarin
<br />Fork river near the town of Aspen on the western slo?
<br />3. Construction of the Frying Pan-Arkansas tunne
<br />about six miles in length and at 10,000 feet altitude thr
<br />the Continental Divide for diverting water collected 0
<br />the western slope to the eastern slope. The mnnel woul
<br />be the highest ever built by the Bureau of Reclamatior
<br />4, On the eastern slope, three earth-fill dams, 6
<br />miles of power canal, over 10 miles of diversion canal:
<br />seven hydroelectric power plants and switch yards, mre
<br />small forebays and two afterbays, nine substations an
<br />about 400 miles of transmission lines, and a municip:
<br />water supply system.
