(Continued From Page 1) 100 cars and trailers, two swimming beaches each one over one andhalf acres and parking for 60 cars, Over a mile of access roads will be needed, Estimated development costs for Scotts Flat recreation facilities will be $688,000. Recreational facilities at Jackson Meadows will be developed by the Tahoe Nationa 1 Forest. The four stage development will include 70 picnic units, 160 camp units plus six group camp units which, are, more or less, equilvlent to from six to a eight camp or family units each, and are designed to accommodate 25 per~ sons, One over look area will provide parking for 49 cars. Two beaches, each one acre in size are proposed, with parking for 72 cars. Three boat ramps are sug~ gested at two locations w ith parking for about 75 cars and trailers.” About two and one half miles of access roads will be needed. Development costs at Jackson Meadows will cost an estimated $1, 017,000. Faucherie Reservoir the highest, smallest and most remote will have limited recreation facilities. The plan calls for constrution of 10 picnic units, 20 camp units and 15 parking spaces at the overlook. A total of 400 feet of access road will be constructed. Recreation development costs at Faucherie are estimated at $62, 000. The four reservoirs, when fully developed for recreational use, will have a combined total of'312 picnic units at 10 acreas or sites; 472 camp units at 12 camp areas; 243 parking spaces at five overlook areas; five beaches with a combined total of seven acres for 1,430 swimmers and parking for 286 cars; 13 boat launching ramps at eight sites with parking for 325 cars and trailers. Eight miles of access roads will have to built for an estimated cost of $472,000 to serve the reereation facilities. Estimated total developmental recreation cost for all the reservoirs is $3,218,000, which includes a 20 per cent cost factor for contingencies, design andengineering and a five per cent price increase factor from prices of Jan. 1, 1964 to Jan. 1, 1966. Thistotal also incluses an estimated $313,300 for land to be purchased for recreation use. Over 75 per cent of the total or $1,140,000 will be spent for the water systems and sanitary facilities. Total cost of initial water systems and sanitation for all reservoirs is $875,000. It is estimated that m any over~ night users of mountain county camping areas are from outside the county with many coming from more than 250 miles away and from it is expected that 10 to 20 per cent may come from as far away as southern California. The proposed facilities will bring about an enhancement of the recreation potential for the local resident and will offer the opportunity for the county to attract a heavy influx of outside recreations and their recreation dollars. ‘NID Takes Advantage Of Davis—Grunsky Act At New Project Sites By William E. Warne, Director California Department of Water Resources Recreation has become an important consideration of the California Department of Water Resources. In Nevada County this is proved by the $4.3 million that is available to assist Nevada Irrigation District in recreational development at four reservoir sites of the Yuba -Bear Project. The broad objective of the State Financial Assistance Program authorized by the Davis-Grunsky Actisto further the development, control, and conservation of the water resources of California. The money is available to Nevada Irrigation District from $130 million State Water Project bond money set aside by the Legislature to assist local agencies. One of the strongest supporters of the Davis-Grunsky Act, and one of the most successful in obtaining approval for large grants, has been State Serator Paul J. Lunardi. The excellent cooperation he gave to Nevada Irrigation District in its application for Davis-Grunsky Act grants was of value to the district, andalsowas appreciated by the department. The Department of Water Resources recognizes the importance of recreation to the YubaBear Project. To Nevada County residents it will mean more than just nearby recreational sites. It will also mean new facilities to expand the tourist economy which has grown so rapidly in recent years. And to other @alifornia residents these facilities will make possible theirvenjoyment of Nevada County beauty while they participate in one of their favorite outdoor activities. The wisdom of the Legislature insetting money aside for recretional development has enabled the State Water Project to become a beneficial force in areas of the State which otherwise would have failed to share directly in the dividends of the project.
