<br />0[,...0'78 <br /> <br />Director, Region 4 <br />August 19, 1971 <br />Page two <br /> <br />A benefit of the Curecanti Unit not mentioned in your <br />report is the fact that the Gunnison River is now virtually <br />ice free from the Morrow Point Dam through the city of Delta. <br />In its historic state the river produced a great volume of ice <br />which contributed greatly to bank erosion and minor flooding <br />along the inhabited stretch of the river below its confluence <br />with the North Fork through and below the city of Delta. <br /> <br />We concur with the statements and conclusions contained <br />in the draft report and we urge the construction on the Crystal <br />Unit be initiated as speedily as possible. <br /> <br />Very truly yours, <br /> <br />,~~~"/:-- <br /> <br />FELIX L.
