<br />o <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />('-:' <br /> <br /> <br />g:; Table 3.4 lists the additional projects and expansion of existing projects operated In the two <br /> <br /> <br /><.0 Future-Level Use Scenarios along with their additional average annual depletions above the Existing- <br /> <br />Level Use Scenario. These demands were identified by reviewing the following documents: "Draft <br /> <br /> <br />Supplement to. the Final Environmental Statement for the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project, Water <br /> <br />Marketing Program for Ruedi Reservoir", (Simons, et aI., 1983); "Application for License for Project <br /> <br />No. 2511, Redcliff Project", (Fleming, 1977); "1984 Development Work for the Redcliff Project", <br /> <br />(Western, 1984); and supplemental information provided by DWB and CRWCD. <br /> <br />In the Moderate Future-Level Use Scenario, the water use in the basin was Increased above <br /> <br />the Existing Level by an annual average of 14,000 af of in-basin municipal and industrial depletions, <br /> <br /> <br />3000 af for oil-shale development and 21,000 afof transmountain diversions. <br /> <br />In the High Future-Level Use Scenario, the average annual water use was increased to <br /> <br /> <br />provide an additional 64,000 af for in-basin irrigation, municipal and industrial uses other than oil <br /> <br /> <br />shale; 133,000 af for oil-shale development; and 36,000 af for transmountain diversions. <br /> <br />An estimated total future demand averaging 136,000 af per year was used in the operating <br /> <br />simulation for oil-shale development in the Colorado River Basin. This figure was based upon those <br /> <br />projects for which Biological Consultations are filed with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and upon <br /> <br /> <br />quantities requested in applications to USBR under the Green Mountain Reservoir and Ruedi Water <br /> <br />Sales Programs (Simons, et al., 1983; RCI, 1985). Of this total, 3,000 af was supplied from the Green <br /> <br /> <br />Mountain Reservoir Water Marketing Sales in all three scenarios; and 3,000 af and 40,000 af were <br /> <br />provided under the Ruedi Reservoir Water Marketing Sales in the Moderate and High Future-Level <br /> <br /> <br />Use Scenarios, respectively. The balance of the 93,000 af annual demand for oil shale in the High <br /> <br /> <br />Future-Level Use Scenario was assumed to be supplied from the Colorado River in the vicinity of <br /> <br />Parachute and DeBeque and in the Main Elk Creek Basin. <br /> <br />3.12 <br />
