<br />Areas will need more intensive measures but generally good vJat;,rshed <br />condi tions can be maintained by sound range and timber management. <br />Some land slide areas procuce large quantities of sediment. It does <br />not seem practical to im?r~le and restore vegetation on them. <br /> <br />However, efforts should be made to provide ungrazed areaS immediately <br />below these land slides to trap the sediment and keep it out of the <br />stream. Aside from the land slide areas, there are no major flood- <br />water or sediment nroblems due to watershed conditions. Plans <br />developed by the Bureau of Reclamation have given full consideration <br />to sediment and floodwa'l;er problems. Design of the proposed Paonia <br />Reservoir provides 10,000 acre feet for storage of sediment in <br />addition to 11,000 acre feet provided for irrigation storage. Design <br />of the main project canals includes protective structures in those <br />Cases where side drainages would cause serious problems. <br /> <br />viii <br />
