dam will be obtained from within the reservoir basin. <br />Construction work is scheduled to begin in May 1981 and be <br />completed by Novembec 1983. <br />The area in which the reservoir will be located is owned <br />by AMAX and leased to another party for grazing. It may be <br />necessary to fence the reservoir to properly manage the grazing <br />or to comply with the terms of the lease. <br />The reservoir is expected to be maintained full except as <br />needed during a dry year. A conservation pool of about 100 <br />acre feet is planned. <br />Of the total 658 acres designated as the Lost Creek <br />Reservoir Area, 70 acres will be reservoir surface, 50 acres <br />will be affected by construction, 20 acres will be affected by <br />the access road including the pipeline and powerline, and 10 <br />acres might be affected by the fence. The remaining 508 acres <br />• are buffer inside and outside of the potential fence and along <br />the access road. <br />All timber will be cleared and marketed or given away as <br />firewood. <br />The reservoir will not be destroyed during final reclama- <br />tion. It will remain as a reservoir and be maintained by <br />whoever owns or manages the water rights. The fence (if con- <br />structed) and access road shoulders will be revegetated, but <br />the fence and roadbed must be left as permanent improvements. <br />Therefore, only the 50 acres of construction disburbance are <br />bonded. <br />All other disturbances will be reclaimed in the same <br />manner as committed to for other similar disturbances, i.e., <br />the dam face and all construction areas not needed for future <br />• use will be ripped or scarified and revegetated to open forest <br />-11- <br />
