305''j . The Pueblo fish-rearing and hatchery unit will contribute fishery advantages to the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project. It is estimated that the production of fish at the rearing unit and hatchery can support 175,000 man-days of additional fishing annually in Colorado. The rearing and hatchery unit will utilize about 20 acres of Project-acquired lands below Pueblo Dam and will be constructed as part of the Fryingpan- Arkansas Project with funds appropriated under Section 4 of the Authorizing Act. Lands around the upper portion of the reservoir are well suited for development and management for upland game and waterfowl. Nearly 8,100 acres of land were purchased for Project purposes and are available for use in development of wildlife management areas, Under normal reservoir opera- tions 2,184 acres are expected to be inundated. . Within the management area, both the uplands and the bottom- lands will be developed for upland game and waterfowl. In the uplands areas, development for upland game will consist of woody thicket windbreaks, and food plot plantings; nesting plot planting of permanent herbaceous flora; and the clearing and piling of timber and brush in gully areas. In the bottom- lands, upland-game development will include food plot plantings, breaking or opening up of extensive areas of cover to facili- tate hunting, and constructing brush piles. Waterfowl development of. uplands would involve establishment of shallow breeding ponds and marshes by deepening low areas, introduction of desirable waterfowl food and cover plants, and construction of artificial nesting and brooding facilities. Development of the bottomlands for waterfowl entails the estab- lishment of breeding, feeding and hunting habitat. Bottomland fields are to be diked and managed to produce corn, millet, milo, and other grains primarily for wildlife consumption, Croplands in the wildlife feeding areas will be farmed on a share-crop basis with local farmers. The Colorado Game, Fish and Parks development plans indicate meadowland along the river bottom can be contour-diked and managed as permanent marsh units for waterfowl production and could serve as important hunting areas. Emergent vegetation, dikes, meadows, and adjacent uplands can provide adequate nesting areas for ducks and small islands can be constructed on the larger marsh units for nesting geese, Goose nesting platforms can also be built, 14 .
