<br />gation replacement water, three pumping plants, one small regulating
<br />reservoir, one treatment plant, and about 175 miles of pipelines,
<br />Other structures and equipment would be required for construction
<br />and operation such as one permanent camp, caretakers' residences
<br />and shops, warehouses, construction camps, offices and laboratories,
<br />and a communications system,
<br />46, Imported and native water would be stored first in an enlarged
<br />Sugar Loaf Reservoir on the Lake Fork of the Arkansas River. Re-
<br />leases would flow about 20 miles south in the Elbert section of the
<br />Arkansas power canal, then through the Elbert hydroelectric power
<br />plant and into the enlarged Twin Lakes Reservoir, The 10-mile
<br />Snowden canal would divert additional Arkansas River water into the
<br />Twin Lakes Reservoir. From there, the water-increased by tribu-
<br />tary interceptions and by the Wapaco diversion from the river-would
<br />flow south some 40 miles in the' Arkansas power canal aod be returned
<br />to the main stream near Salida. Power would be generated en route
<br />,in tbe Granite, Wapaco, Princeton, Johnson, and Salida hydroelectric
<br />power plnnts, Forebays would be provided above the Princeton,
<br />Jolmson, and Salida plants, The existing Clear Oreek Reservoir
<br />(eapac.ity about 11,400 aere-feet) would be adapted for use as an
<br />aft.erbay for the Granite power plant. An afterbay would be provided
<br />on the Arkansas River for the Salida plant. NellI' Salida and Oanon
<br />Oity some water might be diverted for irrigation, The remainder
<br />would continue down the river to the potential Pueblo Reservoir,
<br />Most of the supplemental irrigation releases from that reservoir would
<br />be made through the Pueblo hydroelectric power plant.

<br />reservoirs are as follows:

<br />48. The Colorado 'Fuel &. Iron Corp" owner and operator of the
<br />Sugar Loaf Reservoir, has informally requested 10,000 acre-feet of
<br />project reservoir storage space in addition to replacement of its present
<br />capacity, The Twin Lakes Reservoir & Oanal 00. has made a similar
<br />request for 54,000 acre-feet of additional reservoir storage space.
<br />Both companies would pay a service charge. Oapacities of the
<br />potential Eastern Slope reservoirs have been tentatively allocated
<br />as follows:
