<br />SITE SPECIFIC GEOLOGICAL AND SURvLY ACTIVITIES <br /> <br />A. General <br /> <br />The proposed site specific field operations required <br />during the study period will be complementary to the geo- <br />logic and survey work previously accomplished. It is anti- <br />cipated that the geological and survey field operations that <br />are required for each specific facility will conform to the <br />standards for the general programs discussed previously in <br />this plan. <br /> <br />B. Sheephorn Dam and Power Station <br /> <br />The proposed location is on the Colorado River approxi- <br />mately 10.2 miles down stream from Kremmling, Colorado. Access <br />to the site is along Grand County Trough Road. It will be <br />necessary to perform geological, geotechnical and survey <br />studies at this site. <br /> <br />C. Little Sheephorn Dam, Little Sheephorn Pump Station, <br />Sheephorn Pipeline and Sheephorn Pump Station <br /> <br />The Little Sheephorn Dam and Pump Station will be located <br />on Sheephorn Creek arroximately 4.5 miles upstream with its <br />junction with the Colorado River. The Little Sheephorn Pump <br />Station will be located downstream from the Sheephorn Dam near <br />the confluence of the Colorado River and Sheephorn Creek. The <br />Sheephorn Pipeline will parallel Sheephorn Creek from Sheep- <br />horn PTh~P Station to Little Sheephorn Pump Station. Access <br />to these facility sites is by a county road parallelling Sheep- <br />horn Creek. It will be necessary to perform geological, geo- <br />technical, and survey stations at these sites. <br /> <br />D. Bear Tunnel and Green Mountain Tunnel <br /> <br />Bear Gulch Diversion Dam and Bear Tunnel will be located <br />on the Piney River, with the tunnel connecting the Piney River <br />and the upper reaches of Sheephorn Creek. The Sheephorn Creek <br />Diversion Darn will be located approximately 2.9 miles upstream <br />of the Little Sheephorn Dam. Green Mountain Tunnel will have <br />its west portal located approximately 2.7 miles upstream from <br />the Little Sheephorn Dam. The east portal of the Green Moun- <br />tain Tunnel will be located near the left abutment of the Green <br />Mountain Dam and will transport water from the Sheephorn Creek <br />Basin to Green Mountain Reservoir. Access to the portals of <br />both Bear and Green Mountain Tunnels located on Sheephorn Creek <br />is via the<.existing-'roadvihich parallels the creek. The portal <br />of Bear Tunnel River and Bear Gulch Diversion Dam both located <br />on the Piney River, are accessible only on foot or by helicop- <br />ter. The portal of the Green Mountain Tunnel located adjacent <br /> <br />-8- <br />
