<br />I ... ~... <br />3011 :; <br /> <br />28 <br /> <br />RUED! DAM AND RESERVOIR, COLO. <br /> <br />area is timber or RrazinR land. Clearing of about 600 acres of medium <br />timber will be necess,uy. It will be necessary also to relocate approxi- <br />mately 71/2 miles of two-lalle, gravel-surfaced, State Highway No. <br />104 which now traverses the reservoir area and a like mileage of <br />telephone line. <br />The nearest railhead is a branch line of the Denver & Rio Grande <br />'Vestel'n Railroad at Basalt, Colo., sliRhtly more than 14 miles from <br />the damsite vi" State Hip;hway 104. The nearest souree of electrie <br />power is the Pnblie Service Co. of Colorado's 115-kilovolt transmission <br />line about 1 mile awav. <br />There are no ade(iuate living quarters near the re.servoir site for <br />construction personnel. The cost estimate pro\7ides for ade.quate <br />housing;. Most of these nnits will be temporary type for USe dllring <br />construction. One will be permanent. type so as to pl'ovide continued <br />housing- for a dflm tender after completion of const.ruction. <br /> <br />Oo.,ts <br /> <br />The cost estimate for Rueni Da.m and Reservoir is of re-connaissance <br />j!rade and is based on construdion priees as of January ID59.
