Work by the cooperating agencies is behind schedule, but it is anticipated the report date of June 1968 for the proposed feasibility report can be met. On the Grand Mesa Project plan formulation studies, water supply studies, geologic investigations, collection of agricultural economy data, and the preparation of design data are in progress. It is now anticipated that com- pletion of the proposed feasibility report will be delayed until the end of fiscal year 1970. Feasibility investigations on the Juniper Project will be undertaken later this year with funds contributed by the Colorado Water Conservation Board, Colorado River Water Conservation District, Juniper Water Conservancy District, and the Great Northern Water Conservancy District. Contract nego- tiations with the State and local interests are currently in progress to effect the transfer of funds to the Bureau. Feasibility investigations consisting of plan formulation studies, including power generation at Taylor Park Reservoir, and collection of water supply data are in progress on the Upper Gwmison Project.
