I I Valley to supply the pumping station under 4.d. Dam. Plan E includes: d. A 300 mgd pumping station in Homestake Valley located at the southern terminus of the pipeline in 4-b. Gravity flow from Cross, Fall and Peterson Creeks would be pumped directly into Homestake Reservoir through the pipeline described under 4-e. Pumping head would be 1,300 feet. As no storage is provided under this plan, the pumping rates would necessarily vary from 20 to 300 million gallons per day (mgd) to match stream runoff rates and permit direct pumping to Homestake Reservoir. Power demand charges could be significant because of poor load factor under these diversion conditions, It is also improbable that com- plete diversion of allocated waters could be accomplished. a. A tunnel from Homestake Valley, beginning near the center of Section 30, Township 6 South, Range 80 West, extending northwesterly 24,000 feet, passing beneath Fall Creek and Peter- son Creek and terminating below Cross Creek Valley at elevation 9,100. Riser shafts and diversion facilities would be provided at Fall, Cross, and Peterson Creeks, The diversion point on Cross Creek would be downstream of the mouths of West and East Cross Creeks and would permit all diversion from Cross Creek to be made at one location. I I I I e. A 78 inch pipeline beginning at the pumping station and extending in a southwesterly direction up Homestake Valley 12,500 feet, thence northwesterly 4,500 feet and connecting to the northern terminus of the Fancy-French conduit. b. A 78 inch gravity pipeline connecting at the downstream portal of the tunnel in 5-a, and extending 11,000 feet southerly to the reservoir in 5-d. I f. A 54 to 60 inch pipeline commencing near the inlet of the Missouri Tunnel and paralleling the existing Fancy-French grav- ity conduit 10,500 feet in a northerly direction and connecting to the pumped water pipeline under 4-1'1. c, A diversion structure on the Eagle River near the southeast corner of Section 4, Township 7 South, Range 80 West. From the diversion structure, a 48 inch gravity pipeline would extend 12,500 feet westerly to a point upstream of the dam in 5-d. These facilities would divert the Cities allocations under the Eagle-Arkansas Division of the Homestake Decrees. I I I I Plan E is similar to Plan D, except that the water is stored in a new reservoir before it is pumped to Homestake Reservoir. Con- struction of the new dam and reservoir would require an agree- ment with the CRWCD for use or purchase of prior filings for the Iron Mountain Dam and Reservoir under the Red Cliff Project. The actual dam s;te under the Red Cliff Project is in Section 30, Township 6 South, Range 80 West as described under Plan F. Under Plan E, the dam site would be moved to Section 6, Township 7 South, Range 80 West and designated the Red Cliff d. Red Cliff Dam on Homestake Creek in the northeast quarter of Section 6, Township 7 South, Range 80 West, with crest elevation 9,010, Red Cliff Reservoir impounded by the dam would extend through Sections 6 and 7, Township 7 South, Range 80 West and into Sections 12 and 13, Township 7 South, Range 81 West. . Reservoir water surface would be elevation 9,000 and storage volume 55,000 acre feet, Construction of the reservoir would require the construction of 3.4 miles of new road along the shore line of the new reservoir for access to the Homestake Valley. g. A pipeline and other facilities to collect Eagle-Arkansas Division water as described under l-f. 5. Plan E - Tunnel, Reservoir, Pumping, and Pipeline I I ,'~ , . """ """ 10 e, A 42 mgd pumping station In Homestake Valley constructed immediately downstream from Red Cliff Dam to pump water from Red Cliff Reservoir to Homestake Reservoir through the pipeline under 5-f. 15
