This facility <br />would allow the State of Colorado to deliver water to New Mexico, as stated in the 1922 La Plata River <br />Compact (Compact). The dam embankment would be located approximately 0.5 mile upstream of the <br />confluence of Long Hollow and the La Plata [liver, approximately 4 miles upstream of the Colorado-New <br />Mexico state line. Long Hollow Reservoir would have a maximum pool of 5,432 acre-feet (AF), inundate <br />approximately 160 acres, and extend 1.5 miles upstream of Long Hollow and 1.2 miles upstream of <br />Government Draw. The reservoir is expected to reach capacity about 50 percent of the time. Most years, <br />the reservoir will be drained entirely between April and July to help meet Colorado's Compact obligation. <br />Some years, there will be carry-over storage of 500 to 2, 500 AF. The proposed action will impact 2.53 <br />acres of wetland community. To compensate for these impacts, the applicant has agreed to create 3.75 <br />acres of wetland near an existing mining pond located within the La Plata River watershed. <br />All work is to be completed in accordance with the attached plan(s). <br />Project Location: <br />The project is located at the confluence of Long Hollow Creek and Government Draw, south of Red Mesa, <br />La Plata County, Colorado (Sections 29, 32 and 33, Township 33 North, Range 12 West)
