. . -3- Dolan Mesa diversion dam were started and completed to 40 percent. The aline- ment of the Pot Hook service canal_ plotted, acreages to be served were de- termined, and 10 percent of the earthwork computations completed. Computations on the Little Snake feeder canal were started. Studies were initiated to de- termine the water supply available for diversion in the Little Snake feeder canal. The. design flood study for Savery dam site was completed in rough draft form. ~unnison River Froject, Colorado Tabulations of land acreages were completed. A general map for the ~~ison River Basin is about 30 percent complete. Various phases of the report ~~re coordinated with personnel of the Colorado River Water Conservation Board in a series of conferences. Continued progress was made toward the completion of the re port. Smith Fork Unit. Anticipated fish and wildlife benefits and losses were discussed with Fish and Jildlife Service personnel. Cedaredge Unit. Detailed dam topography on Fruitgrowers dam was completed and stip topography for the pump canal is 10 percent complete. Collection of records and water supply studies were continued. , Cliffs-Divide Project, Colo~ado Topography on a Colorado River reservoir below Rifle was started and carried to 30 percent completion. Collection of hydrologic records for Williams River was continued. Silt Project, Colorado Designs and estimates for Davie Ditch were completed by the area office. San Miguel Project, Colorado All topography sheets on the Canyon Reservoir site were matched. A traverse 1 mile in length was completed up Thunderbolt Canyon, tying the South Side-East Paradox Canal to the North Side canal diversion point in the canyon. ~ this. plan, a portion of the water carried into East Paradox Valley by tunnel from Dry Creek Basin would be diverted out of Thunderbolt Canyon at an elevation high ~enough to cover the upper Fart of the south side and all of the north side of the ~alley. The balance of the water could be picked up at the mouth of the canyon ~nd used along the lower south side of the valle y. Line and profile on the pre- ~iminary location of the Basin Canal (Gypsum Valley) were extended 14 miles with side slopes varying from 10 to 1 to 8 to 1 and with vel)' little rock excavation. This line is being backed in from the lower end of Gypsum Valley on the south side and will be designated as Basin Canal (Gypsum Valley, South Side). The line on the other side of the valley will be called the North Side Canal. Eight land classification sheets were inked and completed.
