<br />l' <br />~ <br />l' <br /> <br />in Wyoming. Water would also be released from Pot Hook Reservoir to <br /> <br />Slater Pork to satisfy rights below the dam and could be released to the <br /> <br />Little Snake River to supply lands which now or will receive water by direct <br /> <br />diversion from the river. <br /> <br />The 1959 feasibility report extends the 1954 project plan to <br /> <br />include tha lands served from the Little Snake River in the Two Bar Unit <br /> <br />described in tho Yampa-White report of February 1957. The original Two <br /> <br />Bar Unit included some land on the South Side of the Yampil River served <br /> <br />from the Yampa River. This portion is not included in the Savery-Pot Hook <br /> <br />Project as now proposed. The Yampa-White project report mentioned the <br /> <br />possibility of the Lily Park Reservoir on the Yampa River which would flood <br /> <br />most of the lands under the Two Bar Unit. <br /> <br />The lands to be served include 16,155 acres in Wyoming (6,178 <br /> <br />acres new and 9,977 supplemental) and 19,110 acres in Colorado (15,741 <br /> <br />acres new and 3,369 supplemental) of which 3, 650 oeres '3re in the Two Bar <br /> <br />Area. <br /> <br />The total construction cost of the project is $1 S, 455,000 of which <br /> <br />$15,016,000 is allocated to irrigation as a reimbursable cost. The balance <br /> <br />is non-reimbursable ($237,000 CRD funds, $153,000 Fish and Wildlife and <br /> <br />$79,000 recreation), The benefit-cost ratios using estimates made by the <br /> <br />Department of the Interior in Tanuar'/ 1962 are 2.76 to 1 with total benefits <br /> <br />at 100 years, 2.15 to 1 with total bp.ncfits at 50 years, 1.46 to 1 with direct <br /> <br />benefits only at 100 years, and 1 .14 to 1 with direct benefits only at 50 years. <br /> <br />- 2 - <br />
