<br />.. 2 211.mi.le above the dam, the reservoir will be confined to the canyon, bl;'~ <br /> <br /> <br />will then widen out over the meadows along Lake FDrk. At the upper <br /> <br /> <br />end of the site are located two towering cliffs on either side of the <br /> <br /> <br />canyon, known locally as "The Gate." <br /> <br /> <br />Water regulation is the purpose for which the reservoir <br /> <br /> <br />is to be used. The proposed water surface elevation with corresponding <br /> <br /> <br />capacities and arsa acres of the various lX'ols as planned for the oper- <br /> <br /> <br />ation of the reservoir are ShDwn on the accompanying operations chart. <br /> <br /> <br />Had the reservoir been in operation during the period 1930-1941, the <br /> <br /> <br />proposed operation reveals that .there would have been some variation <br /> <br /> <br />of the water surface elevation frDm year to year. However, during the <br /> <br /> <br />months of July, August and September when the heaviest recreation use <br /> <br /> <br />can be expected, the water surface elevation would appear to remain <br /> <br /> <br />fairly stable. <br /> <br />,. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />,> <br /> <br />.) <br /> <br />A pDrtion of State higtMay 149 will be inundated and it <br />will require relocating to allow the best use of the reservoir shoreline. <br />Cebolla Reservoir site is located on Cebolla Creek, about <br />27 highway miles southwest of Gunnison, Colorado, in Gunnison County. <br />It is reached from Gunnison by way of U. S. high',ay 50 to Iola ana. <br />thence by way of state highway 149. The j::roposed dam will be about <br />205 feet high, creating a reservoir ap~roximately 4 miles long and <br />0.5 miles wide at its widest point. <br />Water regulation is the purpose for which the reservoir <br />is intended. The proposed water surface elevatiDns, with correspond- <br />ing capacities and area acres of the various pools as planned for the <br />operation of the reservoir, are shown on the accompanying operations <br />chart.
