| Summary: |
The letter is in response to a request for an opinion from the Colorado Water Conservation Board regarding the conditions under which the Clay Creek Dam near Lamar could be reconstructed. Following the flood of June 1965, the Board indicates that it would be unwise to reconstruct the Clay Creek Reservoir according to the original plans, even with additional spillway capacity. The letter indicates that a structure must be constructed on Clay Creek which would adequately handle a flood like the one in June 1965. The Board recommends that Clay Creek should be included in flood control studies being undertaken on the stretch of the Arkansas River between John Martin Dam and Great Bend, Kansas. |
