<br />convert the large inactive capacity to active capacity. The outcome will <br />determine the scale of development and resulting yi~ld that' can be expected <br />from Fontenelle Reservoir. Existing and projected uses of water under these- <br />cunt.raets are discussed below under industrial uses'. The projections' assume <br />that uses will be determined by needs and not by a limitation in reservoir <br />yield~ <br /> <br />....... <br />~ <br />00 <br />W <br /> <br />Seedskadee <br />In 1987, <br />maintain <br />refuge is <br /> <br />The Seedskadee Project provided for the development of the <br />National Wildlife Refuge located on the Green River below the dam. <br />about 6,000 acre-feet were diverted from the river and used to <br />numerous ponds within the refuge. It is estimated that when the <br />fully developed, 20,000 acre-feet per year of depletion will result. <br /> <br />c. Lyman Project <br /> <br />Lyman Project provides supplemental irrigation <br />in the Smith Fork and Blacks Fork areas. In 19B7, the project <br />complete" and depletion of project water is estimated to <br />acre-feet annually'. <br /> <br />water for users <br />was essentially <br />average 10,300 <br /> <br />d. Savery-Pot Hook Project <br /> <br />This project was authorized as a participating project of the <br />Colorado River Storage Project by Public Law 88-568. The Definite Plan Report <br />dated May 1977 identified a plan which would result in 11,900 acre-feet and <br />10,500 acre-feet of depletions annually in Colorado and Wyoming, respectively. <br />The President's Water Project Review in 1977 resulted in reduced funding for <br />the project, and no construction funding has been provided. The project has <br />not been deauthorized and is considered on a deferred status until funding is <br />provided. For planning purposes,an administrative decision was made by the <br />Bureau of Reclamation to show depletions deferred until after 2030. <br /> <br />e. La Barge Project <br /> <br />The LaBarge Project was authorized as a participating project <br />under Public Law' 84-485-, the Colorado River Storage Project Act. A Definite <br />Plan Report was completed irr JUne 1961. It was estimated that consumptive'use <br />would be 3,.700 acre feet. (.rounded to I~,OOO).. Proj.ect_ construction has. not <br />begun and no immediate plans are contemplated. The project has not been <br />deauthorized and is considered on deferred status until funding is provided. <br />For planning purposes, an administrative decision was made by the Bureau of <br />Reclamation to show depletions deferred until after 2030. <br /> <br />f. Transmountain Diversions <br /> <br />Three diversions presently export water out of the Colorado <br />River Basin in Wyoming. The total transmountain diversions for 1987 were <br />estimated to be 11,000 acre-feet. <br /> <br />(1) Ranger Ditch <br /> <br />Ranger Ditch diverts water from North Savery Creek for <br />delivery to Willow Creek irr the North Platte River Basin.
