<br />C~ surveys by the University of Colorado N~seum in 1947 in adjacent <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />~,~'" <br />e..n <br />....... <br />~, <br /> <br />areas and from a study of the terrain, it is probable that few, <br /> <br />if any, important sites lie within the proposed reservoir area. <br /> <br />Paleonto1.Qgy <br /> <br />Although no paleontological survey has been made, it is <br /> <br />probable that no important values will be affected by the con- <br /> <br />strUction of the reservoir. <br /> <br />2. Need for Outdoor TYpes of Recreation <br /> <br />There appears to be no need for additional types of outdoor <br /> <br />recreation in the vicinity. <br /> <br />3. Population Pattorn and Economic Standards <br /> <br />The rosident population in the project area is centered in <br />, <br /> <br />cities of Estes Park and Loveland, Colorado. Their income is derived <br /> <br />from ranching, crop production, and to a large extent, from tourists <br /> <br />and regional vacationers. The economic standards appear to be high and <br /> <br />well establd.shed, with capital expansion indicated in most all economic <br /> <br />pursuits. <br /> <br />B. Coj-lClusions <br /> <br />1. Present Evaluation of Site <br /> <br />From tho recreational standpoint the reservoir site appears <br /> <br />to have received no active use. The amount of passive use involved in <br /> <br />enjoymen.t of the natural floral cover and views of woeded slopes and <br /> <br />ravines can~ot be accurately estimated though it would be minor, <br /> <br />inasmuch as'few persons now enter the forea. <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br />,"'::,:~'" ,'- : "T <br /> <br />"".,. <br /> <br />. ," ,:;'",' <br /> <br />;.' -, <br /> <br />-'-,'-' '" ," <br /> <br />~~. <br /> <br />:~ <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />:.' <br /> <br />-,'::;"-',. <br /> <br />
