STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — An energy company is applying for a federal hydropower license that could lead to construction of a new water storage reservoir southwest of Steamboat Springs.
Peabody Energy has notified Steamboat Springs officials of plans to begin the process.
According to Steamboat Today (http://bit.ly/HY6hlf ), the proposed Trout Creek Reservoir would be able to capture almost one-third as much water as Stagecoach Reservoir south of town and cover roughly half the surface area of the current reservoir.
