<br />~:~, <br /> <br />a <br />a <br />(-) <br />Cj) <br />c: <br />tv <br /> <br />1 <br />i <br />1 <br />! <br />I <br />r <br />:1 <br /> <br />J <br />l <br />I J <br /> <br />In conjunction with reservoir site evaluations, three alternative conveyance routes from <br /> <br /> <br />Green Mountain Reservoir to Dillon Reservoir were evaluated to determine a "Green Mountain <br /> <br /> <br />Pump back System" configuration as part of the Green Mountain Exchange Project. The screening <br /> <br />resulted in selection of a pipeline route along Colorado Highway 9 for conveyance of water from <br /> <br /> <br />Green Mountain Reservoir to Dillon Reservoir, and selection of the following six reservoir sites for <br /> <br /> <br />further study. <br /> <br />o Wolford Mountain Site A' on Muddy Creek <br />o Wolford Mountain Site C on Muddy Creek <br />o Red Mountain Site on the Colorado River <br />o Azure Site on the Colorado River <br />o Wolcott Site on Alkali Creek <br />o Una Site on the Colorado River <br /> <br />The second phase consisted of hydrologic, operational and water rights analyses using a <br /> <br />hydrologic simulation model. . The third phase of the Study involved preliminary geotechnical <br /> <br />investigations, core drilling at the Wolford Mountain Site A' and the Red Mountain Site, and <br /> <br /> <br />subsurface Investigation of the conveyance route. The third phase also included developing <br /> <br /> <br />reconnaissance-level project designs, cost estimates and cost-yield relationships for comparisons of <br /> <br />alternative reservoirs and reservoir combinations. <br /> <br />'. <br /> <br />Recognizing that the Study has covered only a limited number of the facets involved in <br /> <br /> <br />selection of projects for construction, no ranking or preference has been attempted. Instead, <br /> <br />alternatives have been defined and water yields and estimated costs have been listed for <br /> <br /> <br />consideration In the next level of development of these projects. The Study Is concluded with the <br /> <br />Final Report and Appendixes; this Summary Report summarizes the Final Report. <br /> <br />" <br />~;: <br /> <br />;:; <br /> <br />HYDROLOGIC ANALYSIS <br /> <br />The portion of the Upper Colorado River Basin analyzed in this Study extends over 200 miles <br /> <br /> <br />from the Continental Divide to the Cameo stream gage upstream of Palisade, Colorado. The farthest <br /> <br /> <br />downstream dam and reservoir site studied was the Una Site, between Parachute .and DeBeque, <br /> <br /> <br />some 35 miles east of Grand Junction. The study area Is shown in Figure 5.1. <br /> <br />4 <br />
