<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Municipal and industrial water from the project <br />(ulti~atc capacity 74 ft3/s) would help meet the <br />needs of anticipated population increases in the <br />Grand Valley area, as well as a potential fossil <br />fuel po~crplant. <br /> <br />Attractive recreational and fishing ,opportunities <br />would be provided since the maximum reservoir <br />fluctuation would be limited to about 20 feet. <br />Recreational facilities would be provided at <br />several sites on Dominguez Reservoir, while picnic <br />and rafting facilities ,...auld be developed on the <br />river below the dam. A visitors' center would <br />be constructed to explain the project and inter- <br />pret cultural resources of the area. <br /> <br />.March 1980 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br /> <br />Construction of the project would necessitate <br />relocation of about 36 miles of the Denver and <br />Rio Grande Western Railroad to a new alignment <br />roughly parallel to u.s. Highway 50 between <br />Whitewater and Delta, Colorado. <br /> <br />Transmission lines would be constructed from <br />Dominguez Dam Pumping/Powerplant to the switch- <br />yard and from Rim Basin Pumping/Powerplant to the <br />switchyard. Existing transmission systems would <br />be used to transmit the power to Colorado River <br />Storage Project delivery points. The Department <br />of Energy Western Area Power Administration would <br />be responsible for transmission and marketing of <br />power. <br /> <br />MARCH 1980 STATISTICS <br />(Annual use/production) <br /> <br />Water supply (acre-feet) <br />Industrial <br />Municipal and light industrial <br />Total <br /> <br />Stream depletion (acre-feet) <br />Consumptive use <br />Reservoir evaporation <br />Total <br /> <br />Salinity concentration effect at <br />Imperial Dam (mg/L) <br /> <br />Hydroelectric power (megawatts) <br />Rim Basin pump-storage <br />Dominguez Dam <br /> <br />Features <br />Dominguez Reservoir <br />Rim Basin Reservoir <br />Municipal pipeline <br /> <br />Estimated construction cost (1978) <br /> <br />Benefit-cost ratio (6-7/8 percent) <br /> <br />36,00o!/ <br />21,800 <br />57,800 <br /> <br />43,600 <br />25,500 <br />69,100 <br /> <br />6.6 <br /> <br />500 <br />18 <br /> <br />302,000 acre-feet <br />9,870 acre-feet <br />4.3 miles <br /> <br />$330 million <br /> <br />1.1:1 <br /> <br />11 Currently deleted by the planning team <br /> <br />35 <br />
