003157 ", CHAPTER I PlANS OF DEVELOPMENT Plan E-5 The same South San Juan' project area would be served under this plan as in Plan E-4. The Shiprock Main Canal planned for the 113,900- acre Shiprockproject alone would be enlarged to a capacity of 1,960 second-feet to convey water for both projects as in Plan E-4. The 370 second-feet of water for the Carson Canal would be raised 397 feet in a 7-foot-diameter pipe by a pumping plant in the same location as in Plan E-4. With the Shiprock Main Canal diverting from the Navajo Reservoir 151 feet lower than the canal in Plan D-5, less storage capacity in the reservoir would be required. A total reservoir capacity of 614,000 acre-feet would be require~, of which 390,000 acre-feet would be active capacity, 13,000 acre-feet would be dead storage, and 211,000 acre-feet above dead storage elevation would meet silt storage requirements for 100 years. The same lateral and drainage system would be required as in Plan D-4. .. Plan E-6 The same South San Juan project area would be served under this plan as in Plans E-4 and E-5. The Shiprock Main Canal planned for the 121,700-acre Shiprock project alone would be enlarged to a capacity of 2,140 second-feet to convey water for both projects as in Plans E-4 and E-5. The 370 second-feet of water for the Carson Canal would be ra ised 396 feet in a 7 -foot diameter pipe by a pumping plant in the same location as in Plans E-4 and E-5. With the joint Shiprock Main Canal diverting from the Navajo Reser- voir 140 feet lower than the canal in Plan D-6, less storage capacity in the reservoir would be required. A total reservoir capacity of 684,000 acre-feet would be required, of which 460,000 acre-feet would be active capacity, 13,000 acre-feet would be dead storage, and 211,000 acre -feet above dead storage elevation would meet silt storage require- ments for 100 years. . The same lateral and drainage systems would be required as in Plan D-4. . 14
