'. <br /> <br />"For many years it has been the policy of the Federal Government to <br /> <br />engage in multiple-purpose development of water resources. This national <br /> <br />policy was first expressed in the Boulder Canyon Project Act of 1928 and <br /> <br />was broadened and confirmed by the act which created the Tennessee Valley <br /> <br />Authority in the early 1930's and by the Reclamation Act of 1939. The <br /> <br />policy has been affirmed again and again in the past 30 years or more <br /> <br />.... <br /> <br />"The federally supported dam and reservoir would encompass a number of <br /> <br /> <br />these functions. As envisioned today by the Bureau of Reclamation, the <br /> <br />project would combine the purposes of M & [water, hydroelectric power, <br /> <br />recreation, fish and wildlife, and highway improvement. The last purpose <br /> <br />has only limited relationship to water development; however, policy provides <br /> <br />that when reloGated roads and highways are constructed to meet current <br /> <br />standards, the incremental costs incurred Over the costs of "replacement <br /> <br />in kind" are to be set aside as non-reimbursable. . . . <br /> <br />"In the absence of Federal development, it is presumed that the project <br /> <br />would be financed and constructed by the metropolitan water agencies. If so, <br /> <br />it would be essentially a Single-purpose dam and reservoir. An exception <br /> <br />could be the inclusion of hydroelectric power. If it chose to do so, the metro <br /> <br />agency could build and operate a power plant with sale of the ouput to an entity <br /> <br />such as the Public Service Company of Colorado or to the Colorado Springs <br /> <br />municipal power system. An alternative would be for Denver to lease the site <br /> <br />and falling water at the dam for construction and/or operation by the contracting <br /> <br />"-:.(...,-' <br /> <br />.,.'-;'>~. .' <br /> <br />":<:;:::",:: ,:". <br /> <br />"~.;-_.'. <br /> <br /><--~.". . <br /> <br />">:" ~;- <br /> <br />entity, Tn either case the value of the capacity and energy might be limited to <br /> <br />. - . - . <br />'-.,' .-.....,...",..- <br /> <br />,",' . d <br /> <br />~:.~: /.: <br /> <br />
