<br />.; ~ <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />OolC,~ 1 <br /> <br />Land classification, agricultural economy, and water requirement studies are <br /> <br />in progress on five representative farms in the Upper Gunnison Project area to deter- <br /> <br />mine feasibility of developing new lands and new farm units. This in turn will determine <br /> <br /> <br />the scope of the feasibility studies to be undertaken. <br /> <br /> <br />On the GRAND MESA PROJECT, we have completed land classification field <br /> <br /> <br />work and are now getting into water exchange studies and some of the other involved <br /> <br /> <br />water supply problems connected with this investigation. The proposed feasibi lity <br /> <br /> <br />report is scheduled for completion in F. Y. 1968. <br /> <br /> <br />Preparation of the project lands, drainage, and water supply appendifes for <br /> <br />the YELLOW JACKET PROJECT are in progress. <br /> <br />We are revising our project plans for the YELLOW JACKET AND JUNIPER <br /> <br />PROJECTS to obtain what we feel are more attractive developments. We have elim- <br /> <br />inated the long, costly canal from North Fork of the White River into the Thornburgh <br /> <br />Reservoir on Milk Creek. The Yellow Jacket Project would now consist of Lost Park, <br /> <br />Ripple Creek, and Sweetbriar or Rio Blanco Dams and Reservoirs in the White River <br /> <br />drainage and Thornburgh Reservoir on Milk Creek. Instead of serving all of Axial <br /> <br />Basin lands from Thornburgh Reservoir, however, the plan now would serve about <br /> <br />5,000 acres on lower Milk Creek. An importation from Marapos Creek would augment <br /> <br />the notural flows storable in Thornburgh Reservoir. The balance of the Axial Basin <br /> <br />lands would be served by direct connected pump from the proposed Juniper Reservoir. <br /> <br />/ This proposed change in plan for the Yellow Jacket Project has the approval of <br /> <br />the local Yellow Jacket Conservancy District officials, and we have discussed it several <br /> <br />6 <br />
