The 1983 session of the Colorado General Assembly passed House Bill 1102 authorizing the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) to conduct a geotechnical study of dam sites in the White River Basin. The objective of the White River Geotechnical Study was to carry out surficial and sub surface geotechnical investigations of the designated dam sites and to locate and evaluate potential sources of construction material. The level of topographic data on the reservoir areas was to be upgraded.
