The project is located on the Middle Boulder Creek, in Boulder County, Colorado. The licensee requests to surrender the following licensed project features: (1) The Barker Reservoir; (2) the Barker Dam; (3) the outlet structure; (4) the concrete tunnel; (5) the valve house; (6) the concrete Barker gravity pipeline; (7) the Kossler Reservoir, including the Southwest Dam, the Northeast Dam, and the West Dam; (8) the concrete outlet structure, including the trash screens and a gate; and (9) the steel penstock.
