<br />New construction for the unit would consist of the potential ~arrows <br />Dam and Reservoir to serve the functions of irrigation, flood control, <br />recreation, and fish-wildlife enhancement. The fish hatchery would be <br />located approximately 1,000 feet downstream from the dam. Specificlands <br />and facilities, including the existing Jackson Lake, would be acquired for <br />recreation and fish and wildlife purposes. No Federal construction of <br />irrigation distribution facilities would be involved. <br /> <br />Storage water would be released as necessary from the reservoir to <br />supplement irrigation within the l66,370-acre service area of the Lower <br />South Platte Water Conservancy District. Project Water stored in Narrows <br />Reservoir would be released either into the South Platte River through a <br />river outlet for delivery to existing downstream diversion works or through <br />a canal outlet works directly into the Fort Morgan Canal. Minimum down- <br />stream flows for fishery requirements would be met by reservoir seepage, <br />stream accretions, and return flows. Flows for operating the fish hatchery <br />would be obtained from seepage. <br /> <br />COSTS AND CONSTRUCTION <br /> <br />Project Costs <br /> <br />The total project cost of the Narrows Unit, based on January 1969 <br />prices, is estimated at $68,050,000 which is an increase of $6,230,000 <br />from the earlier estimate based on October 1965 price levels. This <br />increased cost reflects rising construction and rights-of-way costs and <br />the cost of the added fish hatchery.
