<br />~ <br />~ <br />C"'; <br /> <br />PHASE IV <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />A. East Paradox Irrigation System <br /> <br />The eastern half of the Paradox Valley contains some of the <br /> <br /> <br />potentially most productive land in the project area. Water service for <br /> <br /> <br />these lands under the original plan of the Bureau of Reclamation was to <br /> <br /> <br />be provided from water imported to Dry Creek Basin and collected in <br /> <br /> <br />Radium Reservoir. The conveyance system involved several miles of <br /> <br /> <br />tunnels in addition to large reservoirs. The plan proposed for current <br /> <br /> <br />study will involve direct diversion from the San Miguel River <br /> <br /> <br />approximately 2 1/2 miles above the mouth of the Cottonwood Creek, a <br /> <br /> <br />canal and pipeline from that point to a reservoir at the lower end of <br /> <br /> <br />Naturita Creek, and a canal and pipeline to the Paradox Valley following <br /> <br /> <br />the approximate route of State Highway 90. Irrigation return flows and <br /> <br /> <br />winter flows in Maverick Draw and Naturita Creek would be intercepted, <br /> <br /> <br />thus reducing the size of the diversion system required from the San <br /> <br /> <br />Miguel River. Total length of canals and pipelines involved will be <br /> <br /> <br />about 30 miles. <br /> <br />B. Industrial Water Supply <br /> <br />Space will be provided in Naturita Reservoir to meet potential <br /> <br /> <br />industrial requirements in the Nucla-Naturita area, in particular those <br /> <br /> <br />of Colorado-Ute for cooling water for the expanded Nucla Thermal Plant. <br /> <br /> <br />Direct diversion from the San Miguel River would be used to the extent <br /> <br /> <br />they are in priority, with storage held in reserve for critical dry <br /> <br /> <br />periods. <br /> <br />C. Expanded Irrigation Facilities in Dry Creek Basin <br /> <br />The south lateral of Lilylands Canal can be extended to serve new <br />lands in Dry Creek Basin. The extent of new lands served will be <br />dependent on the amount of added water provided to the Lilylands System <br />under earlier phases of, development. Included with the Dry Creek <br />Expansion would be a small re-regulating reservoir in the basin so that <br />irrigation deliveries could be regulated near the point of use. <br />
