Study Phase I conducted by HDR include: <br />• Option 1: Jeffrey Canyon Reservoir. Located south of Brady in Lincoln County <br />on the south side of the Central District 5upply (Canal). Would be fed from Jeffrey <br />Reservoir. Capacity is estimated at 10,390 ac-ft. <br />• Option 2: Smith Canyon Reservoir. Located southwest of Gothenburg in Dawson <br />County on the south side of the Canal. Would be fed by water pumped from the Canal. <br />Capacity is estimated at 12,895 ao-ft. <br />• Options 3& 4: Midway Lakes Reservoirs No. 2 and No. 5. Located south of <br />Willow Island in Dawson County on the south side of the Canal. Would be fed by water <br />pumped from the Canal. Capacities are estimated at 6,433 ac-ft and 11,429 ac-ft, <br />respectively. <br />• Option 5: North Plum Creek Reservoir. Located southeast of Cozad in Dawson <br />County on the north side of the Canal. Would be fed by water from the Canal. Capacity is <br />estimated at 2,320 ac-ft. <br />• Option 6: J-2 Forebay Reservoir. Located southeast of Lexington in Gosper <br />County in the Plum Creek basin, south of the J-2 Forebay on the south side of the Canal. <br />Would be gravity fed from the Canal. Capacity is estimated at 3,436 ac-ft. <br />Re-regulating reservoirs capture Platte River water beyond that required for irrigation <br />deliveries and mainstem instream flows during periods of excess flow at the critical <br />habitat. In general, water would be diverted from the Central District Supply Canal <br />during periods of excess and released during periods of shortage at the critical habitat. In <br />the case of the Jeffrey Canyon and the J-2 Forebay Reservoirs, water would be supplied <br />from Jeffrey Reservoir and the J-2 Forebay, respectively, as opposed to the Canal. <br />CNPPID would re-regulate the flows in their system, in which case diversions will not be <br />increased or decreased, only return flows will change. <br />CNPPID has provided additional information on other potential storage sites that will be <br />evaluated as part of Phase II. <br />fi30WLE Page 40 of 58 January 29, 2008 <br />PRRIP - Draft Water Management Study, Phase I
