<br />304:3 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />having a common boundary with Pueblo West and good access, <br />this area will be readily available to the residents of <br />Pueblo West for day-use, boating and fishing. Development <br />will be on a similar scale as Arkansas Point but will provide <br />camping and transient facilities. A high density camping, <br />picnicking and trailer parking complex with support facilities <br />such as a camper store, laundry and showers will be available <br />to the traveler. Additional picnic and scenic overlooks will <br />be developed at appropriate locations along the scenic road. <br />Docking, fuel dispensing, boating supplies at the marina, dry <br />boat storage, camper store, and laundry facilities will be <br />concessioner financed and operated. <br /> <br />Rock Creek Area.--Located two and a half (2-1/2) miles west of <br />the right dam abutment this area should be considered a future <br />Qr long-range development and developed when the need is so <br />justified. Considered for this development will be complete <br />facilities for overnight camping, trailer camping facilities <br />with individual utility hookups and a concessioner operated <br />camper store with shower and laundry facilities. Shoreline <br />slopes should provide reasonable access to the reservoir <br />waters during its fluctuations at various levels. A sports- <br />man range with facilities for firing and sighting large and <br />small bore guns, archery and trap shooting ranges and a riding <br />stable completes the Rock Creek concession-oriented development. <br /> <br />fisherman Access Points,--In order to provide adequate access <br />and development for fishing and hunting in the upper portions <br />of the reservoir, existing county roads will be improved and <br />terminated with parking areas, Sanitary facilities will be <br />provided in all areas. Three sites are shown on the accom- <br />panying plan, (See Figure 5 on page 11). Necessary facili- <br />ties will be provided by Fish and Wildlife interests. <br /> <br />facilities which will be constructed in conjunction with the <br />dam and reservoir include a warm-water hatchery and cold-water <br />rearing unit capable of producing a minimum of 50 tons of <br />catchable size trout, 1,000 pounds of warm-water fry and <br />fingerlings, and la to 12 million walleye fry. Water for the <br />fish hatchery will be taken from the reservoir. The dam is <br />designed to release the water through multi-level outlets <br />which provide a means to blend stratified reservoir water <br />for desirable temperature and oxygen composition for hatchery <br />use. Effluent from the hatchery will be treated with a <br />separate facility to control water taste, odor and color <br />before it is released into the Arkansas River below the dam. <br /> <br />13 <br />
