<br />MR. TAYLOR; There's a possibility at present of <br />rUl1nillg", tunnel ",long the Colorado, 'lnd they are investigating that at <br />the present time. <br /> <br />. . <br /> <br />CHAIRMAN, You mean up the Green River? <br /> <br />MR. TAYLOR; <br /> <br />Yes. <br /> <br />"'. <br /> <br />CHAIRMAN: There you run into the water of the' <br />Upper Stream, and the possibility that Wyoming might kick on that. <br />That would mean that the headgates would have to be in the neighborhood <br />of the Union Pacific Railroad. That would go above the little Snake <br />and Henry's Fork and'Black Fork and take out of a very reduced stream. <br />and I doubt whether Wyoming could see it in that light. <br /> <br />MR. TAYLOR, They are giving it ilrvestigation and <br />possibility -- <br />SECRETARY SHAW: Mr. Taylor ,we just get the distant <br />reflections of this project. The original idea that we heard about some <br />years ago was what Mr. Jenkins mentioned'!' thd is, the same kind of <br />a project with a 1600 foot jump lift to get the water up where it would <br />flow into the Sa;it :I~ake Basin. Is that what is under consideration now? <br /> <br />MR. TAYLOR: I think they abandoned that now because <br />they thought they would be taking more than their share of the Colorado. <br /> <br />SECRETARY: <br />water high up in the Basin, <br /> <br />Then there was the idea to collect the <br />and get it through the mountains without pumping. <br /> <br />MR. TAYLOR; That's right. Then they would supplement <br />some of the water they might take from the lower level water, from the <br />land that is being furnished under present irrigation systems. <br /> <br />SECRETARY: <br /> <br />Where would the power be produced? <br /> <br />MR. TAYLOR: Most of it on the main stream, i( you <br />,know the report. There will be' three power plants in the main Canyon <br />and storage of water in the Strawberry Reservoir, and they will raise <br />Strawberry Dam 29 feet, and it will have a continuous flow of approximately <br />500 second feet so as to make storage of water possible down through <br />Central Utah, any place where there's a possibility for storage. <br /> <br />CHAIRMAN: That would be generating the power on <br />the West Slope, bllt the power over in the river is mostly absorbed <br />by the pumping system' raising it up to a running level and I believe they <br />located at the mouth of the Uintah River so as to call on the unused <br />ColGll."ado waters to pump it up.
