Construction plans which will
provide overnight camping facil
ities and a reliable water sup
ply for Memaloose State Park

Proposed plans Include con
struction of a water intake sys
tem, water treatment plant, stor
age and distribution lines to
supply both existing rest areas
and to provide water to a camp
area which will ultimately have
about 200 campsites.
Also included In the construc
tion now proposed would be full
development of 42 trailer sites,
partial development of approxi
mately 25 campsites to an inter
