For all practIcal purposes, the Two Fork$ <br />and Narrows UnIts would be Integrated for complete control <br /> <br />of the South Platte RIver. For flood control purposes, <br />the Two Forks sIte would replace the already authorIzed <br /> <br />ChatfIeld project a few mIles downstream. The ChatfIeld <br /> <br />project was authorIzed as a Corps of EngIneers project but <br />Is no longer deemed feasIble because of the development <br /> <br />wIthIn the reservoIr sIte area. ThIs development was <br /> <br />occasIoned by the constructIon of the MartIn Plant. <br />At the present tIme there Is no reservoIr regulatIon <br />of any sIgnIfIcance on the north fork of the South Platte. <br /> <br />However, the Denver Blue RIver project, whIch Is now <br /> <br />nearIng completIon, wIll dIscharge waters from the Blue <br />RIver In western Colorado Into the north fork of the <br /> <br />South Platte by means of a twenty-three mIle tunnel under <br /> <br />the ContInental DIvIde. The cIty of Denver has long <br /> <br />contemplated, therefore, the constructIon of the reservoIr <br /> <br />at the Two Forks sIte. We are, however, contemplatIng a <br /> <br />more comprehensIve development of that sIte than Is pres- <br />ently contemplated by the cIty of Denver. <br /> <br />At thIs tIme we do not have any estImate of the <br /> <br />proposed capacIty of the reservoIr nor any estImate of Its <br /> <br />cost. However, the Colorado Water ConservatIon Board has <br /> <br />requested $25.000 for the forthcomIng fIscal year to <br />InItIate feasIbIlIty InvestIgatIons on thIs project. It <br /> <br />7 <br />
