<br />-18- <br /> <br />" . <br /> <br />amount of water stored in Hinman Park Reservoir and available <br />to augment the Saddle Mountain P~rop Station consumptive use <br />was derived on a monthly basis, indicating how the Public <br />Service Company would operate under the influence of the <br />Juniper Project. <br /> <br />Since it is possible that the Juniper Project will not be <br />built to its full decreed capacity operation studies were <br />performed for the full Juniper Reservoir capacity of 844,294 <br />acre-feet and also for cap?cities of 700-,_O~--600,ooO~ <br />-4'0{) ,'000 and -2'00,000 acre.='feet: <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />Table 7 illustrates the logic used in the operation studies <br />for a Juniper capacity of 700,000 acre-feet. Figures 1, 2, <br />3, 4 and 5 show the variation of Hinman Park Reservoir stor- <br />age with time for a six-year study period and the Juniper <br />capacities studied. <br /> <br />The logic of the o~eration studies as illustrated in Table 7 <br />is explained below: <br />Column 1 - Yampa River flow measured at Maybell, Colorado <br />from U.S.G.S. surface water records. <br />Column 2 - Juniper Project direct flow requirement_based on <br />a year-round demand of 1,000 cfs for the Juniper Power <br />Plant and an additional demand of 550 cfs for April <br />through September for the Deadman Bench Canal. For <br />Juniper capacities of less than 644,294 acre-feet these <br />direct flow requirements are reduced in direct propor- <br />tion to the reduction in assume~ capacity. <br />Column 3 - Direct flow requirements met from storage. When <br />the Juniper direct flow requirement (Col. 2) is greater <br />than the available streamflow (Col. 1) the excess demand <br />is satisfied by releases from storage. <br />Colume 4 - Water diverted to Juniper storage. After direct <br />flow demands (Col. 2) are met by streamflow (Col. 1), <br /> <br />1479 <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />Leonard Rice Consulting Water Englneers,lnc, <br />
