<br />B-7 <br /> <br />Dolores Project <br /> <br />A feasibility report was prepared in 1963, and the project was authorized <br />by Public Law 90-537 on September 30, 1968. A Definite Plan Report <br />was completed in April 1977 with modifications to the original plan to <br />meet Indian requirements. Total depletions are estimated to be 80,900 <br />acre-feet annually. The control schedule dated April 14, 1981, indicates <br />that the project works will be completed and water service available in <br />the 1984-87 period. The bulk of consumptive use will be for irrigation <br />with 70,250 acre-feet, municipal and industrial 4,350 acre-feet, and <br />reservoir evaporation 6,300 acre-feet. It is estimated that reservoir <br />evaporation and irrigation uses will all occur before 1990 and about <br />1,000 acre-feet of municipal and industrial use by 1990 with the remainder <br />in later years. <br /> <br />Fruitland Mesa Project <br /> <br />The project was authorized as a participating project of the Colorado <br />River Storage Project by Public Law 88-568 on September 2, 1964. The <br />authorization was based on a feasibility report prepared in 1963. <br />A definite plan report was prepared in June 1967 and a repayment contract <br />executed in June 1969. Minor construction work was completed on the <br />existing Gould Canal in 1973, but no other construction has been accom- <br />lished. The project plan was substantially revised as described in <br />the Definite Plan Report of August 1977. Depletions then totaled 21,300 <br />acre-feet. The president's Water Project Review in 1977 resulted in <br />deletion of funding for the project, and no construction funding has been <br />provided. The project has not been deauthorized. Therefore, it is <br />considered on a deferred status until funding is provided. Depletions <br />are thus estimated to occur after-2030. <br /> <br />San Miguel Project <br /> <br />A feasibility report was prepared in 1966, and the project was authorized <br />as a participating project of the Colorado River Storage Project by the <br />Colorado River Basin Project Act (Public Law 90-537) on Se~tember 30, <br />1968. Advance planning studies have continued and various plans have <br />been considered, but none are feasible based upon current policies and <br />procedures for planning water and related land resources. A wide array <br />of development plans have been investigated including a mix of agricul- <br />tural, municipal and industrial uses. A concluding report has been <br />prepared summarizing data available. This included data from a large <br />acreage alternative, a small acreage alternative, and a conservation <br />alternative. Figures for depletion were selected from the small acreage <br />alternative which included depletions of 12 thousand for irrigation, <br />12 thousand for industrial use, and 1 thousand for municipal. Development <br />is assumed to be deferred until after the year 2030. <br /> <br />Savery-Pot Hook Project <br /> <br />The project was authorized as a participating project of the Colorado <br />River Storage Project by Public Law 88-568 on September 2, 1964. The <br />authorization was based upon a feasibility report prepared in 1962. A <br />definite plan report was prepared in June 1971, revised in January 1972, <br />and updated by an advance Definite Plan Report dated May 1977. Stream <br />
