The <br /> <br /> <br />average flow diverted into the South Canal from the Gunnison <br /> <br /> <br />Tunnel is 753 cfs during the irrigation months (April - <br /> <br /> <br />November). This flow is decreased downstream of the West <br /> <br /> <br />Portal of the tunnel by diversions for irrigation. The <br /> <br /> <br />hydroelectric project will not decrease present irrigation <br /> <br /> <br />flows. <br /> <br />III. DESCRIPTION Qf PROPOSED PROJECT <br /> <br /> <br />As shown on Plate F-1 contained in Exhibit F the proposed <br /> <br /> <br />project will be located at an existing canal drop located <br /> <br /> <br />approximately 1.3 miles downstream of the West Portal of the <br /> <br /> <br />Gunnison Tunnel. The project will consist of a reinforced <br /> <br /> <br />concrete diversion structure at the upstream end, a steel <br /> <br /> <br />penstock, and a downstream powerhouse. <br /> <br />As shown on Plate F-2 the flows in the existing canal will <br /> <br /> <br />be regulated by a tainter gate situated in the channel. A <br /> <br /> <br />reinforced concrete headworks will be located adjacent to <br /> <br /> <br />the tainter gate section. The headworks will include a <br /> <br /> <br />concrete head wall and upstream trashracks. Stoplog slots <br /> <br /> <br />will be constructed in the headworks upstream of the <br /> <br /> <br />trashracks to facilitate maintenance of the penstock and <br /> <br />A- 4 <br />
