<br />. <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />., <br /> <br />UNITED STATES <br />:1EFilRTMENT OF THE INTERIOR <br />BUREAU OF RECLAMATION <br /> <br />Denver. ColorQdo, M~y 25. 1938. <br /> <br />From Engineer F. C. Merriell <br /> <br />To Chief Engineer <br /> <br />Subject: SupplementAl report - Mancos Project - Western Slope <br />Surveys, Colorado. <br /> <br />1. There is submitted this supplemental report on the <br />WGncos Project, Coloradc, which deels with the pr~posal of the <br />land owners on the project for the construction of a reservoir to <br />provide 5,000 acre-feet of stored water. They have had in mind <br />the development of tho Weeer site. <br /> <br />2. The inform~ticn obtained for the original report <br />was adequate in most respects for the prep1ration of the supple- <br />mental report. However, since the original report was issued <br />records of stream flow for Qbout one year on both East Qnd Milldle <br />M~ncos Rivers h~ve become available, anJ these records were used <br />to check the original water supply studies. It appeRrd that while <br />the total water supply had been correctly derived. its distribu- <br />tion between the several fDrks of MancDs River should bo revised <br />and this was done. <br /> <br />3. This investigation is one of a number pursued in <br />Western Colorado, under allotment of $150,000 from the Public <br />Works Administration. The work was limited to such surveys and <br />studios ns woulll permit of preliminary estinatos and designs for <br />the v"\rious features of the project. <br /> <br />4. <br />result of the <br />the report of <br /> <br />The synopsis of this report .qlso sumtnRrizes the <br />investigations for larber develoPffiBnts oovered by <br />May 1937. <br /> <br />(Sgd.)
