<br />I'- <br />~ <br />c: <br />~ <br /> <br />":::" <br /> <br />....~...;. <br /> <br />SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS <br /> <br />Three plans are submitted for developing potable <br />water supplies for the U.S. Park Service recreation <br />area at Crawford Reservoir: <br /> <br />Plan l.--Drill a test well to tap the Dakota <br />Sandstone. A well drilled to penetrate the Dakota <br />Sandstone completely at the Park Service recreation <br />area probably will yield more than 15 gpm at a pumping <br />lift of less than 200 feet. The iron content of the <br />water probably will pose the most serious quality-of- <br />water problem. The general quality may be in~roved by <br />careful well construction. <br /> <br />Plan 2.--0btain water from the Smith Fork upstream <br />from the Iron Creek confluence. This water probably <br />would be suitable for drinking after chlorination. <br />Development of the supply probably would require con- <br />struction of upstream diversion and storage facilities. <br /> <br />Plan 3.--Develop springs in Gunnison National <br />Forest. This probably would require construction of a <br />collection facility in a relatively remote area and a <br />pipeline several miles long to the recreation area. If <br />suitable arrangements can be made with the owners of <br />existing spring-water systems, the Park Service might <br />tap these systems relatively near the recreation area. <br />
