Crystal Dam, Reservoir, and Powerplant, Curecanti Unit, Colorado River Storage Project, Colorado
Final environmental statement for the Crystal dam, reservoir, and powerplant was filed December 1971. This supplement covers design changes and results of investigations which have occurred since that time. The Crystal damsite is situated on the Gunnison River, 15 miles east of Montrose, Colorado, in Montrose County. Channelizing of the stream below the damsite has been reduced from a length of 8,000 feet to 5,800 feet, lessening the impact on the fishery. Esthetic impact will be minimized by eliminating some overhead power lines, placing part of the crest access road in a tunnel, and moving the powerplant from the abutment toward the center of the dam. Inundation of an additional 11 acres of canyon will be required, including about 1,000 feet of river channel, by raising the reservoir normal water surface 5 feet.
