6. Facts about John Martin Project
The John Martin Heservoir Project was built by the Corps of Engineers, United States Army. The project was authorized by congress in the Flood Control Act of June 22, 1936, when the federal responsibility for flood control throughout the country was assigned to the Corps of Engineers. It is located on the Arkansas River, 58 miles upstream from the Colorado-Kansas stateline and 18 miles upstream from the city of Lamar, Colorado. Construction of the project began in the fall of 1939, but work was suspended by World War II from the spring of 1943 to the spring of 1946. The project was completed in October 1948 at a cost of about $15 million. The War Department Civil Appropriation Act of June 24, 1940, changed the name of the project from Caddoa Reservoir Project to John Martin Reservoir Project, in honor of the late Congressman John A. Martin of Colorado. It is operated by the United States Army Engineer District, Albuquerque, :\'cw Mexico. Mr. William L. Lindsey has been the resident superin tc>ndent of the project since April 1, 1968. The> John Martin Reservoir Project is part of the comprehensive plan for the control of floods and the development of the water resources of the entire Arkansas River basin. The reservoir provides 270,375 acre-feet of storage capacity for flood control. It protects the fertile Arkansas River valley below the dam from floods originating in the 18,915 square miles of the Arkansas River basin above the dam. It provides 350,951 acre-feet of storage space for conservation and recreation. John Martin Reservior supplies water to the irrigated lands below the dam as far as Garden City, Kansas. The top of the conservation pool is 3,851 feet above mean sea level, which provides 350,951 acre-feet of storage for irrigation. The release of stored flood waters in excess of the conservation and recreation pools and above elevation 3,851 feet is planned so that, when combined with flows originating downstream from the dam, the capacity of the channel will not be exceeded. Upon request of the Arkansas River Compact Administration, irrigation water for downstream water users is released through the outlet works in the base of the dam. Down stream flood damages prevented by John Martin Dam already exceed the cost of the project. Benefits have already passed the $92 million mark. Recreation and favorable fish and wildlife habitats are derived from this project. With reservoir lands open to all, there are many attractive public use areas for outdoor recreation, water sports, fishing and boating, or just relaxed living. During construction some embankment material was obtained from a 75-acre tract of land immediately downstream of the dam. This excavated area, averaging 12 feet deep, filled with water and formed Lake Hasty, the center of year-round recreation. John Martin Dam consists of a concrete gravit.r structure 1,644 feet long and 120 feet high, and an earthfill structure 2,600 feet long. The concrete gravity structure contains a gated spillway provided with sixteen 30 feet by 64 feet tainter gates with their operating machinery. There are earthen wing dams on either side of the main dam. The north wing dam is 3,880 feet long, connecting to the earth fill structure of the main dam at the north abutment. The south wing dam is 5,807 feet long and connects to the south end of the concrete structure of the main dam. A bituminous-surfaced roadway, 21 feet wide, extends along the crest of the north wing dam, main dam, and south wing dam. The overall length of the structure is 2.6 miles. Detailed project data are shown below.

7. Cooperative Studies and Activities 8. Water Supply, Reservoir Operation, and Hydrologic Data. The winter storage season for John Martin Reservoir began on November 1, 1974 at 12:01 a.m., with the reservoir empty. A demand for river flow was made by Colorado and released November 1, 1W4 at 12:01 a.m., Colorado river flow demands were altered frequently during the months of November and December due to inclement weather and to accomoda te construction work on the new concrete control being built below the dam. Colorado river flow releases averaged about 19 cfs during November and about 10 cfs during December on days of Colorado demand. The gates were closed on December 26, 1974 and remained closed until February 25, 1975 when they were again opened to satisfy a Colorado river flow demand of 12 cfs. This river flow was maintained until April 13, 1975. -s- Conservation storage on April 1, 1975 was 8,555 acre feet. The first demands for reservoir water during the summer storage period were made on April 8, 1975 at 8:30 a.m., when conservation storage had reached 8,758 acre feet. A reservoir release of 1,000 cfs was made to satisfy the Kansas demand of 400 cfs and the Colorado demand of 600 cfs. In addition a river flow of 12 cfs was continued to satisfy the Colorado demand for river flow. The reservoir release of 1,000 cfs.ph.~ river flow was maintained until the reservoir was emptied at 9:00 p.m. on April 12, 1975. The gate remained open and the river was then ad ministered according to the Colorado priority system until winter storage began at midnight on October 31, 1975. For the second year in a row, irrigators in the Arkansas Valley encountered severe water shortages. A few localized rain storms oc curred during June, July and August in Colorado Water District ff/ causing damage to several irrigation canals. The river fl6w into John Martin Reservoir during the 1975 compact year totaled 94,500 acre feet which exceeded the 1974 compact year total of 77 ,550 acre feet, but still fell far below the 1949-74 yearly average of 171,022 acre feet. Ditch diversions during the 1975 compact year in Colorado Water District 67 were 109,729 acre feet. Ditch diversions in Kansas from the stateline to Garden City during the same period were 25,111 acre feet. 9. GAGING STATIONS In general, streamflow records of satisfactory accuracy were ob tained at the Compact stations. Emphasis was continued on performing additional field work to increase the accuracy of the records and on providing current streamflow data to the Administration and State officials as required. Because of travel limitations imposed on the U. S. G. S., extra travel was cut to a minimum. There are differences in the releases from the reservoir, as measured at the gaging station, and the daily demands by Colorado and Kansas. To minimize these differences the gaging dation below .John Martin Reservoir was relocated just downstream from the dam, and a concrete control was built and put into operation April 9, 1975. The old gage 1.5 miles downstream was continued in operation until July 2, 1975, to get an overlap of the records. The telemark was moved to the new gage, but the cableway for measuring high flows is still located at the old site. High stage measurements can be made at the bridge just downstream until funds are available to move the cable. Some vandalism was experienced during the year at the station Purgatoire River at Las Animas by motorcyclists running up and down the riverbed. The radio stations at the four gages continue to give trouble because of their age. Plans are being made to try to replace these prior to the 1976 irrigation season. The Administration approved a cooperative agreement with the Geological Survey for the fiscal year July 1, 1975 to June 1, 1976, in the amount of $ 8.000: $ 4,000 for each party. These funds are for the operation of the Compact Station at Lamar. the additional field work at other compact stations. the providing of current streamflow data, maintenance of radio equipment. and the preparation of records for the Annual Report. l 0. Findings of fact by the Administration SPECIAL TELEPHONIC MEETING April 9, 1975 A special telephonic meeting was held April 9, 1975 in accordance with Article VF of the Compact, for the purpose of declaring that the reservoir would become empty April 12, 1975. Mr. C. J. Kuiper, Colorado State Engineer, and Mr. Robert Jesse, Division Engineer, were notified of this action and administration of decreed water rights for Colorado would commence on April 12, 1975, unless a change of conditions justified cancellation or modification of this notice. The reservoir became empty at 09: 00 P.M. April 12, 1975. Participating members: Colorado - Mr. Bates and Mr. Tempel Kansas - Mr. Bentrup and Mr. Reeve. -10 APPENDICES FOR ANNUAL REPORT OF THE ARKANSAS RIVER COMPACT ADMINISTRATION For the Report-Year :\ovember I, l9i4, to October :n, l9i5 Appendices: Appendix "A" Auditor's Report 12 Appendix ..
