<br />'. <br /> <br />003178 <br /> <br />TASK 2--POTENTIAL RESERVOIR SITES <br /> <br />In this task, the study te~ identify reservoir sites that could potentially be devel- <br />oped as alternatives to~water at the Juniper-Cross Mountain sites. Previously <br />. identified reservoir sites as well as other sites that should be included because of loca- <br />tion, storage potential, and a qualitative review will be assessed at this stage. Up to 15 <br />reservoir sites will be considered as project elements. <br /> <br />· Task 2.A--Alternative reservoir sites <br />· Task 2.B--Initial screening <br />· Task 2.C--Environmental Overview <br /> <br />7 <br />,d' <br />i' <br /> <br />The specific elements of this task consist of the following: <br /> <br />TASK 2.A-.ALTERNATIVE RESERVOIR SITES <br /> <br />Purpose <br /> <br />The purpose of this task is to identify potential surface reservoir sites in the study area <br />that can meet local water supply and economic needs, and that can be operated in a <br />manner compatible with recovery of endangered fish species in downstream areas. <br /> <br />Responsibility <br /> <br />CH2M HILL will be responsible for this task. <br /> <br />Approach <br /> <br />The study team's approach to this task will be to do the following activities: <br /> <br />1. Collect and review available repons, maps, and studies relating to development <br />of potential dam and reservoir sites in the study area. Specific information <br />regarding site and regional geology, geotechnical conditions, environmental con- <br />ditions and constraints, and previous design and cost data will be developed <br />from the available literature. Environmental data will be forwarded to or <br />collected bv BIO/WEST. Sources for this data will include the U.S. Bureau of <br />'" <br />Reclamation, the Colorado River Water Conservation District, the US <br />Geological Survey, selected state and local agencies, and the Technical Steering <br />Committee. Following the literature review, the data will be organized, and a <br />bibliography will be developed. Tnis effon will include information on the <br />Juniper, Cross Mountain, Fonification Creek, Thornburg, Kilpatrick, Dunkley <br />and California Park sites and on the Trout Creek system. <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />DENI800P/033.51 <br />
