<br /> <br />TERMINAL FACILITY <br /> <br /> <br />Alternative 0 (Southern Route) consists of one major storage <br />reservoir into which the transfer water is deposited via the transport <br />system. Both Plan I and Plan II of Alternative 0 use the same site <br />while Plan I is a minimal facility and Plan II is the facility sized <br />for the maximum estimated water availability. Table 1 [Seasonal <br />Irrigation Oemands (Southern)] was used to determine the size of the <br />terminal storage reservoir. This storage reservoir is the pick up site <br />for the distribution system which delivers the transfer waters to <br />users. This terminal facility does not include the distribution system <br />for water delivery to users. <br /> <br />The High Plains Study Council recommended by Resolution Number 8, <br />that an evaluation of a terminal storage facility near Littlefield, <br />Texas, called Bull Lake, be accomplished. The Bull Lake site has a <br />maximum capacity of 360,000 acre-feet of water. The estimated terminal <br />storage requirement exceeds one million acre-feet thereby eliminating <br />the Bull Lake site. A suitable site was found in Blanco Canyon with a <br />proposed dam location approximately five miles downstream of U.S. <br />Highway 82 on the White River. A general location is shown on Figures <br />2 and 3. This general site has an estimated capacity of 5,000,000 <br />acre-feet, while detailed field studies have not been conducted for <br />this immediate site, studies conducted by the Texas Water Oevelopment <br />Board on an area north of U.S. Highway 82 indicate that the site may be <br />geologically sound. <br /> <br /> TABLE 9 <br /> TERMINAL RESERVOIR (PLANS I & II) <br /> Inflow Evaporation Yield Storage Land <br />Plan (Ac-Ft/Yr) (Ac-Ft/Yr) (Ac-Ft/Yr) (Ac-Ft) (Acres) <br />I 1,770,000* 50,000 1,720,000** 1,000,000 14,400 <br />II 9,BOO,000* 120,000 9,6BO,000** 3,800,000 32,200 <br /> <br />* Includes 10% loss from source to terminal storage <br />** Includes 10% increase for distribution losses <br /> <br />020 <br />
