<PERSON>,CA--- A tarantula crawls along the shore of Millerton Lake on Monday, Dec. 14, 2009. Millerton Lake was created by Friant Dam on the San Joaquin River, about 15 miles north of Fresno. It is an irrigation reservoir, built by the Bureau of Reclamation in 1942. The Friant Water Authority has proposed a new reservoir and dam at Temperance Flat. Millerton Lake is just West of the proposed reservoir. The price tag for the project is some $3.36 billion and could be built in 15 years. It would provide 1,200,000 acre-feet of storage and an additional 160,000 acre-feet of usable annual water. Critics of the dam and reservoir say that the price tag is too high. Photo by <PERSON>
