<br />C\l <br />co <br />CO? <br /> <br />NATIONAL PARK SERVICE REPORT <br /> <br />Agency for Administration, Operation, and Maintenance <br /> <br />It does not appear that the Rifle Gap Reservoir could achieve <br />national, regional, or even State significance recreationally, Its <br />value in this respect has been appraised as quite definitely local. <br />It is almost equally certain that as an economic enterprise, it would <br />offer very little appeal to any commercial agency or private permittee <br />(concessioner). It is conceivable that county authorities may be suf- <br />ficiently interested in the recreational development of this project for <br />local use to assume an appropriate measure of responsibility in connection <br />with ultimate administration, operation, and maintenance. <br /> <br />Further Study and Planning <br /> <br />In the event that plans of project development and operation are <br />materially altered, provision should be made for a re-appraisal of <br />recreational values which may be inherent in the Rifle Gap Reservoir. <br /> <br />If the project is developed as now planned, additional investigation <br />and study will be required to assure land acquisition and recreational <br />facilities that will be commensurate with actual need, economically justi- <br />fied and from which the greatest benefits to the use-area can be derived. <br /> <br />, <br />, <br /> <br />7 <br />
