<br />.. <br /> <br />.' <br /> <br />~I <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />., <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />4. From a study of the proposed plans of operation <br /> <br />.'.. G · <br />~~~~for the 12-year period, 1930-1941, it appears that both reservoirs <br /> <br />will be suited to water recreation uses. <br /> <br />a. At Twin Lakes the water level will remain <br /> <br />fairly constant during the season of heaviest recreation use, but will <br /> <br />vary somewhat from year to year. The reservoir is located near main, <br /> <br />heavily traveled highways in a region of outstanding scenic beauty <br />where a very popular la~e already exists. Thus it is believed that <br /> <br />the area should provide an outlet for considerable recreation activity. <br /> <br />Moderate day use with more extensive overnight, week end and vacation <br /> <br />use is expected. The need for a lodge development, boating facili- <br /> <br />ties and summer homes can also be antici~ated, with possible demand <br /> <br />for group camping facilities since .the site is located within a region <br /> <br />attractive to these types of uses. The development of facilities for <br /> <br />these uses and activities appears justified at this time. <br /> <br />b. At Sugarloaf the water level will remain <br />fairly constant during July and August but some drawdown may be ex- <br /> <br />pected during September. Considerable variation in the elevation of <br /> <br />the water surface can be expected from year to year. This reservoir <br /> <br />lends itself to recreational development. It appears, however, to <br /> <br />have slightly less recreational value than Twin Lakes. Existing <br /> <br /> <br />Turquoise Lake, which lies within the proposed reservoir area, is <br /> <br />very popular. <br /> <br />The reser~ir site is conveniently located to Lead- <br /> <br />vi1le. It is scenically attractive. Some day use, with m~re ex- <br /> <br />tensive overnight, week end and vacation use is anticipated. There <br /> <br />are at present approximately 50 summer homes around existing Turquoise <br /> <br />.Lake. It appears that the majority if not all of these home sites <br /> <br />will be inundated when water is impounded by the new dam. For this <br /> <br />13 <br />
