~ I South Platte River flood waters cover a road east of Sterling. Such flooding would be reduced by the Narrows Unit. Direct, indirect, and public irrigation benefits from the Narrows Unit are estimated to total $6 million annually. M&I-Brush, Fort Morgan,' and Sterling, all located within the, Lower South Platte Water Conservancy District, have expressed interest in' obtaining Narrows water. In addition, ,Great Western Sugar and Sterling Beef have also asked for water. Communities within the Central Colorado Water Conservancy District requesting water include Fort Lupton, LaSalle, Wiggins, Brighton, and Keenesburg. Together these requests total 21,850 acre-feet or 17 percent of the average annual marketable supply. Annual benefits from Narrows M&I water are estimated at $8.2 million annually. Flood control-The Corps of Engineers reevaluated the annual flood control benefits during 1982. As a result, the Bureau has eliminated the joint use pool and reduced the single purpose flood control pool to 233,000 acre- feet. The Bureau has estimated that a flood event having a recurrence interval of once every 25 years would have a peak discharge of approximately 25,000 fi3/S. Operation of Narrows Dam would also reduce damages from larger floods as the peaks would be reduced. An average of $1.1 million in flood damages would be prevented each year by Narrows Reservoir. Recreation-The National Park Service estimates that an average of 1.19 million recreation days will be realized at Narrows Reservoir each year. All recreation facilities would be constructed and available for use during the first year of project operation. The Colorado Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation will manage the recreation facilities and lands. Annual recreation benefits are expected to total more than $5.2 million. Fish and Wildlife-Narrows Reservoir will sup- port large populations of walleye, northern pike, largemouth bass, white bass, crappies, sunfish,
