<br />000688 . <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Owens and Buzzard Creek Reservoirs constructed on Buzzard Creek to develop <br /> <br />the flows for irrigation and municipal and industrial use. The irrigation <br />supplies would be distributed through a group of project facilities, in- <br />cluding the Harrison, Brush Creek, and Colorado Canals, the Cheney lateral, <br /> <br />and a series of smaller laterals branching from the main canals. Muncipal <br /> <br />and industrial water would be made available for sale at the outlet works <br />of Buzzard Creek Reservoir, The project would provide a supplemental water <br />supply to 3,130 acres of land and a full supply to 6,340 acres and provide <br />3,000 acre-feet annually for M&I uses. The project would also provide bene- <br />fits to recreation and fish and wildlife. <br />Plan formulation studies, water supply studies, and agricultural <br />economic studies are continuing on the Bluestone project. Foundation <br />drilling recently completed for the offstream Parachute Dam showed the <br />left abutment to be unstable. Costs for blanketing the abutment were ex- <br />cessive so this feature has been eliminated from the plan of development. <br /> <br />Project goals will need to be modified, as an economic alternative to <br /> <br /> <br />Parachute Dam and Reservoir has not been found. A proposed feasibility <br /> <br /> <br />report is scheduled for completion at the end of FY 1968. <br /> <br /> <br />On the Grand Mesa project, plan formulation studies and water supply <br /> <br /> <br />studies are in progress. Preparation of a draft of the project lands and <br /> <br /> <br />drainage appendices is nearing completion. A proposed feasibility report <br /> <br /> <br />is scheduled for completion in F'i 1969. <br /> <br /> <br />Plan formulation studies and water supply studies are continuing on <br /> <br /> <br />the upper Gunnison project. Office tabulations in connection with the <br /> <br /> <br />project land classification are nearing completion. A proposed feasibility <br /> <br /> <br />report is scheduled for completion in F'i 1970. <br /> <br />8 <br /> <br />
