Department of the Interior <br />Washington, D. C. 20240 <br /> <br />Dear Sir: <br /> <br />This is in response to your letter of 20 August 1971 to the Office, Chief <br />of Engineers, requesting review and comment on the attached draft environ- <br />mental statement on the Crystal Dam, Curecanti Unit, Colorado River Storage <br />Project, Colorado. Your letter was forwarded to the Sacramento District <br />for reply. <br /> <br />A review of the statement reveals no proposed actions that would adversely <br />affect flood control, navigation, or other programs within the jurisdiction <br />of the Corps of Engineers. We do wish to comment, however, that the change <br />in design of the dam from earth fill to a double-curvature, thin arch struc- <br />ture should significantly reduce adverse environmental impact which might <br />otherwise have occurred in the immediate project area, particularly with <br />regard to aesthetics. <br /> <br />Ten copies of these comments are being furnished to the General Counsel <br />of the President's Council on Environmental Quality in accordance with <br />procedures set up by the Office, Chief of Engineers. <br /> <br />Sincerely yours, <br /> <br /> <br />/ ' ,/dF' ""' mcL <br />~ JAMES C.
