Show New fishing water to open Another new fishing water with a conservation pool is now assured near Blanding, Utah, the department of fish and game said today. The small lake, to be known as Blanding Reservoir Number Four, will be constructed in the near future some two and one-half miles north of this Southeastern Utah community. When full, it will have a total surface acreage of 36.1 and some 17 surface acres when drawn down to the conservation conserva-tion pool. Project spokesmen said the conservation pool would have ample depth at the dam to assure as-sure all-year fish life and growth, with that part of the stored water above the pool to be used for irrigation purposes. Maximum participation by the department of fish and game is $40,000.00. Fifty percent per-cent of this amount will be reimbursed re-imbursed to the department as a qualified project under provisions pro-visions of the A.P.W. program. Blanding City is already preparing the site by clearing obstructions, trees and other growths where the dam and lake will be situated. |
