<br />Drill holes and seismic refraction traverses will be needed <br />along the dam axis. These will be located by survey in the <br />field. <br /> <br />K. The Yampa River and Morrison Creek System <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />This system is comprised of the Yampa River Dam and <br />Reservoir, the Morrison Creek Dam and Reservoir, the Yampa <br />River Pipeline, the Morrison Creek Pipeline, the Little <br />Rock Creek Pipeline, and Siver Creek Diversion System and <br />the Service Creek Diversion System. The Yampa River Reservoir <br />will be located on the Yampa River approximately 14 miles up- <br />stream and south of the town of Steamboat Springs. The Morri- <br />son Creek Reservoir will be located 3.7 miles upstream from the <br />mouth of Morrison Creek where it joins the Yampa River and ap- <br />proximately 18 miles south of Steamboat Springs. The Yampa <br />River Pipeline will generally follow Little Morrison Creek be- <br />tween the Yampa River Reservoir and the Morrison Creek Reservoir. <br />The Morrison Creek Pipeline will parallel Morrison Creek. At <br />Lynx Pass, the Morrison Creek Pipeline will become the Little <br />Rock Creek Pipeline and follow Little Rock Creek. The Silver <br />Creek Diversion Dam will be located at approximately the NE <br />1/4 of the NE 1/4 of Section 28 of Township 3 North and Range <br />83 West. A tunnel and pipeline run in the southwest direction <br />and join the Morrison Creek Pipeline approximately 5.9 miles <br />upstream from the Morrison Creek Pump Station and Morrison <br />Creek Dam. The Service Creek Diversion Dam will be located <br />in the &~ 1/4 of the m~ 1/4 of Section 36 of Township 4 North <br />and Range 84 West. The Service Creek Tunnel will run in a south- <br />westerly direction from the Service Creek Diversion to the <br />Morrison Creek Darn and Pump Station. Access to all facility <br />sites except the Service and Silver Creek Diversion Systems can <br />be made by existing County Road n31. Access to the Service <br />Creek and Silver Creek Facilities will have to be using heli- <br />copter or on foot. It is planned that core drilling will be <br />done along each dam axis and at each pump station location. <br />Also, specific places along the route of the pipelines will be <br />core drilled as well as along the tunnel routes and at the two <br />diversion dams. Selected seismic traverses are anticipated <br />along each dam axis as well as along the routes of the tunnels. <br />The seismic traverse and drill hole locations will be located <br />in the field by ground survey. <br /> <br />-11- <br />
