Animas-La Plata Project-Reclamation prepared a feasibility report in 1962, and the project was authorized by Public Law 90-537, September 30, 1968. A definite. planreport was approved in August 1980. The plan provides for a total depletion of 154,800 acre-feet per year for irrigation and municipal and industrial use with 120,700 acre-feet in Colorado and 34,100 acre-feet in New Mexico. Depletions will not begin until the late 1990's when Ridges Basin Reservoir is completed. Due to flow requirements for endangered fish, the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) recommended a ,reasonable and prudent alternative allowing an interim depletion which would allow construction to begin while studies are being conducted on endangered fish. For planning purposes, the depletions are split 37,700 acre-feet in Colorado and 19,400 acre-feet in New Mexico. Additional depletions will be contingent upon future approvals by the FWS. Bostwick Park Project-Construction of Silver Jack Dam commenced in late 1966 and was completed in 1971. Project water became available beginning in 1971. and all facilities were completed by 1974. Project depletions average 4,200 acre-feet annually. Dallas Creek Project-The project was authorized by Public Law 90-537 on September 30, 1968. A definite plan report was completed in November 1976, which indicated a total depletion of 17,100 acre-feet of water used for agricultural, municipal, and industrial purposes. Estimated depletions are 5,100 acre-feet for irrigation, 10,400 acre-feet for municipal and industrial uses, and 1,600 acre-feet for reservoir evaporation. Initial storage began in 1987. Distribution facilities now exist for use of the project water. Reclamation estimates that the combination of reservoir evaporation, irrigation use, and municipal and industrial use will deplete about 7,000 acre-feet by 1990, 12,000 acre-feet by 2000, and 17,100 acre-feet by 2010. Dolores Project-A feasibility report was prepared in 1963, and the project was authorized by Public Law 90-537 on September 30, 1968. A definite plan report was
