<br />," ........... ',' <br />',,"(:,' ',0' <br />IIIt.JlI.:J.-...J ,,,) <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />A. Description of the Proposal <br /> <br />Twin Lakes Dam and Reservoir Enlargement and the Mt. Elbert Forebay <br /> <br />to be built as part of the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project will be loca- <br /> <br />ted approximately 13 miles south of Leadville, Colorado, in Lake <br /> <br />County. The proposed active conservation pool at Twin Lakes will <br /> <br />extend 5 miles above the dam along Lake Creek and will inundate <br /> <br />3,137 acres of land located in 8 sections. The enlarged reservoir <br /> <br />will inundate about 692 acres of land above the present conserva- <br /> <br />tion pool capacity. Mt. Elbert Forebay is situated on a hill about <br /> <br />1 miles north of Twin Lakes Reservoir and will inundate approximately <br /> <br />279 acres of land. Access is available via U. S. Highway No. 24 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />and from Colorado State Highway No. 82. Mt. Elbert, Colorado's <br /> <br />highest peak (elevation 14,431 feet), rises immediately to the <br /> <br />northwest (Figure 2). <br /> <br />1. Twin Lakes Dam <br /> <br />As now planned, Twin Lakes Dam will be a zoned, rolled earth- <br /> <br />fill structure with a height above streambed of 60 feet. The <br /> <br />new dam axis will be located approximately 2,500 feet down- <br /> <br />stream from the existing dam (Figure 3). It will have a crest <br /> <br />width of 30 feet and a length of 3,200 feet at crest elevation <br /> <br />9,217.0. A cutoff trench, backfilled with impervious material, <br /> <br />will extend under the dam from abutment to 'abutment. The <br /> <br />interior core of Zone 1 impervious material will be topped on <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />A-5 <br /> <br />
