<br />m <br /> <br />, <br />- <br /> <br />December 1976 <br /> <br />C\! <br /> <br />San Miguel Project <br /> <br />Current Plan Concept <br /> <br />The current San lUguel Project plan concept would irrigate lands in <br /> <br />Norwood-Redvale area, Mailbox Park, East Lilylands and Dry Creek Basin <br /> <br />plus provide 2,000 acre-feet of municipal and industrial (II & I) water <br /> <br />for Wrights Mesa and another 28,000 acre-feet of II & I water in the San <br /> <br />Miguel River. The only new storage reservoir to provide project water <br /> <br />would be Saltado Reservoir on the San Miguel River. The reservoir would <br /> <br />be located downstream far enough so it wouldn't inundate the town of <br /> <br />Placerville. <br /> <br />M & I water in the San Miguel River would be released directly to the <br /> <br />river from the reservoir. I'Tigation water and 1':rights ~lesa II & I ;;ater <br /> <br />would be realsed into a ten mile long pipeline which would follow the <br /> <br />San Miguel River downstream. Pressure is developed in the pipe due to the <br /> <br />ground slope. A pumping plant at the end of the pipe would boost water <br /> <br />coming out of the pipe up onto Wright's Uesa. East Lilylands and Dry <br /> <br />Creek Basin irrigation water would be conveyed through the proposed <br /> <br />Basin Canal. Existing ditches and' laterals in the Norwood-Redvale area <br /> <br />would be utilized. Also, the existing Gurley, Cone, and Lilylands <br /> <br />Reservoirs would be utilized under project operation. <br />
