Construction facilities The Grand Valley field station was constructed in 1980 as part of Stage One and would be used a. construction headquarters for Stage Two. The field station is located near the midpoint of the middle Government Highline Canal and is centrally situated in relation to the valley's irrigation facilities. The field station includes an office and laboratory building, paved parking lot, wareyard, and sewage disposal system. The building, parking lot, and wareyard are surrounded by a 6-foot chain link fence. A metal storage building and associated wareyard are located adjacent to the field office and are also fenced with 6-foot chain link. These facilities are used to store supplies, drilling, and other equipment and materials. Service facilities used for Stage One would also be suitable for Stage Two development. Some replacement of facilities and equipment would be required as the construction period progressed; and it is assumed that because of the long construction period) this equipment would have no salvage value. 41
