<br />~ <br />00 <br />00 <br />--J <br /> <br />From the desalting complex, product water would be conveyed <br /> <br />for regulation and storage to the proposed De Luz site on tlle <br /> <br />Santa Hargarita River downstream [rom DC' Luz Creek which is at <br /> <br />Mile 10 of the aqueduct. The aqueduct would then cross Mllrrieta <br /> <br />Creek in the Temccula Valley about 1. mile southeast of Murrieta, <br /> <br />.lod continue with the aid of a number of pump lifts through <br /> <br />pipelines and tunnels to the sununit of thl~ San Gorgonio Pass about <br /> <br />1. mile south of Banning. A series of tunnels and pj.pelil1es would <br /> <br />convey water to the foot of the Little San Bernardino Mountains. <br /> <br />At this point a pumping plant would lift water to a gravity tunnel <br /> <br />17.8 miles in length for conveyance under the Little San Bernardino <br /> <br />Mountains. From the tunnel outlet portal, about 2 miles east of <br /> <br />Joshua Tree, the aqueduct would turn to the north and by means of <br /> <br />pip(~lines, tunnels, and canal would proceed to the east side of <br /> <br />El Dorado Valley and through a pass about 2.5 miles east of Boulder <br /> <br />City, N~vada, to its terminus in Lake Mead at a point east of <br /> <br />Hemenway Wash and about 2 miles west of Hoover Dam in Boulder <br /> <br />Basin. <br /> <br />Storage Reservoir--For purposes of this study, the De Luz <br /> <br />Dam sit'c was used for regulation. In detailed studies ,) number <br /> <br />of i11te'rnative storage sites near the desalting plant would be <br /> <br />considered. The dam would be located on the Santa Margarita River <br /> <br />immediately downstream from De Luz Creek and about 10 miles <br /> <br />northeast of the desalting plant. The da~ would be an earthfill <br /> <br />structure rising 219 feet above streambed with a crest length of <br /> <br />21 <br /> <br />, ,.<" ;d~. <br /> <br />
