Its main value, from a fish and rQld- <br />life standpoint, is that it would be large enough to permit extensive <br />manipulation of flows above without loss of much water to irrigation. <br />Pueblo Reoervoir may thus indir8ctly help to mitiGate losses which would <br />othcrrdse occur to better habitat areas upstream. <br /> <br />Our viens and opinions as set forth auovo ffi'e not intend80 to <br />present d8fi~ite recommenGations, but rather to bring c~t the most irr~ <br />porta,t aspects of th8 project insofar as fish and ~ildlife reso~rces are <br />concerned and s~ggestio~s as to Y!~VS in l!hich those rC201.lrcs::s !:la~/ be Pl'Q- <br />tected. In our report now bein::; prepared, y;e shall make c',eF,! effort to <br />correlate fish and '::ildlife needs ,.,ith other aspects of the project. ';Ie <br />feel that Colorado's recreational resources, co~lete ~~th natural floY~ng <br />streams and an abundance of fish and game, deserve full consideration bY <br />every agency concerned, and TIe appreciate the opportunity to present our <br />opinions on the matter. <br /> <br />It is hoped that the above statement will serve your immediate <br />ne8d and that of the Policy and Review Committee to which reference was <br />made in your letter dated August 3, 1949. If it anpePIs desirable, v:e <br />shall be pleased to have a representative of this Service present vlhen <br />the Committee ne:.:t ::Jeets in ord8r that nny questions Y;hich ma:r arise could <br />be discussed at the time. <br /> <br />Your continued cooperation in these matters of r.1Utual interest <br />is 5 inccrely appr8ciated~ <br /> <br />Very truly yours, <br /> <br />/5/ K.
