<br />t! . <br /> <br />On completion of Phase 1, a total of approxi- <br />mately 110 jobs will be created in both agriculture <br />and related businesses, including almost 40 new <br />on-farm jobs in Colorado and New Mexico. <br />Annual gross agricultural production would be <br />increased by an estimated $15,750,000, and <br />annual net farm income would be increased by <br />about $8,820,000. Approximately 23,750 acres of <br />non-Indian dry land will be added to thetax rolls as <br />irrigated farmland. <br /> <br />The project will also help meet anticipated <br />recreation needs in the area. Ridges Basin Reser- <br />voir will accommodate up to 1,800 people per day, <br />providing the area with an additional 210,000 <br />recreation days annually. A recreation day ranges <br />from a visit of a few hours to one of an entire day. <br />For boating and fishing, a 7-lane boat ramp will <br />be available at Ridges Basin Reservoir. The reser- <br />voir will be stocked with trout. Approximately 10 <br />miles of hiking trails and 50 camping and 50 picnic <br />sites will be available for public use. <br /> <br />Project Data <br /> <br />PHASE 1 PROJECT FEATURES <br /> <br />Ridges Basin Dam <br />Height above streambed (feet) <br />Crest length (feet) <br />Ridges Basin Reservoir <br />Capacity (acre-feet) <br />Active storage (acre-feet) <br />Inactive and dead storage (acre-feet) <br /> <br />Total <br />Water surface area at top of active capacity (acres) <br />Pumping Plants <br /> <br />313 <br />1,600 <br /> <br />130,000 <br />150,000 <br />280,000 <br />2,270 <br /> <br />Durango <br />Ridges Basin <br />Red Mesa (sprinkler irrigation) <br />Canals, Conduits, and Laterals <br /> <br />Maximum lift <br />(feet) <br /> <br />525 <br />330 <br />209 <br /> <br />Capacity <br />(cfs) <br /> <br />430 <br />540 <br />77 <br /> <br />Ridges Basin Inlet Conduit <br />Dry Side Canal <br />Long Hollow Tunnel <br />Southern Ute Inlet and Interim Irrigation <br />Canal <br />Durango Municipal & Industrial Pipeline <br />Shenandoah Municipal & Industrial Pipeline <br />Laterals <br /> <br />Length <br />(miles) <br />2.1 <br />22.3 <br />3.2 <br /> <br />Capacity <br />(cfs) <br />430 <br />710-320 <br />710 <br /> <br />5.2 <br />3.1 <br />7.8 <br />115.6 <br /> <br />375-100 <br />11 <br />6 <br />various <br /> <br />.,. <br />;to",:, <br />II"'." <br />f?~J <br />r"0~ <br />~f::f <br />r~_'_c7 <br />;:.- ~I <br />, <br />r;~~ <br /> <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />1:- <br /> <br />f "- <br /> <br />~ " <br /> <br />:"'. <br /> <br />~; <br /> <br />'0 7/87 <br />
