Since that ii.mMiiy has a lease on the water the reservoir will never be drained he said. It was noted by Mr. Wall, that the watr coming into the dam is not stream fed, but will come to the site via canals and pipe from water rights the OPIC has on the White River. Rights to the water were filed nearly 50 years ago, but it was only within the jmst five years thai the company took positive steps to use the filings. It was then that the land was obtained and plans started on the construction. The reservoir will be oblong shaped, mile long.

Mr. Wall said that the dam will be 480 feet through the base and be 75 feet high. He noted that it will take 430,000 yards of dirt to build the dam. At the rear of the reservoir will be a dike 2800 feet long and 18 feet high. Approximately 75,000 yards of dirt will be used to make the dike. The water at the dam site will be about 40 feet deep. Mr. Wall commented J,hat the reservoir will aid farmers and ranchers in the area. For instance, he said he had to move his cattle to Colorado this year with the drought in the area and so did most other cattlemen. While there still would have been a water shortage, if the dam had been built most of the cattle could have been kept in the area he said. While the Fish and Game department has not made firm plans, so far as Mr. Wall knows, the lake should make an excellent fishing area for local residents he said. With a minimum of 788 feet of water in the reservoir fish will be able to live and thrive. When the reservoir is full the F&G will allow full recreational use of the reservoir except for a small portion at the dam site. Duchesne H.
