<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />USE OF EXISTING FACILITIES <br /> <br />IV. CRSP NAVAJO UNIT - NAVAJO RESERVOIR <br />(Also see pages 28 through 33 in the "Discussion of Seven Option's" document <br />distributed at the December 16. 1996 meeting) <br /> <br />Citizens' Ouestions <br /> <br />1. REOPERATION STUDIES OF EXISTING FACILITIES <br /> <br />Design and actual capacity; size of inactive pools and potential reuse; amount of <br />uncontracted yield; capability if any for enlargement; assessment of whether conservation <br />measures, other efficiency measures, or operational changes could make additional water <br />available, and if so, how much, when, and where; how water is allocated and how actually <br />used; what quantities of water are allocated/contracted for but not actually used; what <br />quantities of water are contracted for irrigation use but actually used/applied for <br />residential purposes, hobby farms, subdivided lands; inventory and diagram all return <br />flows. <br /> <br />Reclamation's ResDonses <br /> <br />A. Design and actual capacity: <br /> <br />. Navajo Reservoir <br /> <br />Active Capacity <br />Inactive Capacity <br />Dead Capacity <br />Total Capacity <br /> <br />1,036,100 acre.feet <br />659,900 acre-feet <br />12.600 acre.feet <br />1,708.600 acre-feet <br /> <br />= <br /> <br />= <br /> <br />= <br /> <br />. Sediment inflow to the Reservoir was estimated to be about 3,300 acre- <br />feet per year, It was estimated that the combined inactive and dead <br />capacity would be reduced by about 262.000 acre-feet and the activity <br />capacity would be reduced by about 68,000 acre-feet at the end of the 100- <br />year Project life, <br /> <br />B. Size of inactive pool and potential for reuse: <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Inactive Capacity = <br /> <br />659,900 acre-feet <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The inactive capacity of the reservoir is defined by the intake elevation of <br />the diversion structure for the Navajo Indian Irrigation Project (NIIP), <br /> <br />** 1/10/97 - PREL.IMINARY - SUB.JECTTo REVISION - FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY ** <br />
