August 2000 CRWCD * Yampa Rav Basin &nall Ra wir Study - Phase 2 Report * Page ? 9 <br /> <br /> <br />J <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />considerations and environmental constraints. The Coal Creek feeder canal, while not a reservoir <br />project, was retained because it appears that development of this potential project could be a <br />beneficial management tool for the Bear River area. Figure 5, Suwnzary of POtO76d Small Reservoir Sites <br />Retained shows the location of retained sites. Phase 2 of this project further considers these sites. <br />TABLE 1 <br />SUMMARY OF POTENTIAL SITES FROM PHASE I THAT WARRANT`FURTHER CONSIDERATION' <br />Potential Site <br /> <br />Site # Site Name Rationale for Retaining Site <br />UPPER YAMPA DRAINAGE <br />4 Watson Creek #2 Stream is typically administered in late season. Storage would benefit several local irrigators and <br /> downstream users. Native streamflow enhanced b return flows. <br />13 Morrison Creek #1 Stream yields excess water. Reservoir would serve as a management tool to help maximize the Yampa <br /> River basin's water resources. Additional storage would benefit downstream users. Feeder canal to <br /> Stagecoach Reservoir could be cost effective. <br /> Coal Creek Serve as management tool to help alleviate administration of Bear River system and also would mitigate <br /> im acts of stream peak flows on local users. Cost effective. <br />ELK RIVER DRAINAGE <br />17 Chimney Creek The Deep Creek system is water short and typically administered. <br />MIDDLE YAMPA DRAINAGE <br />24 Dunckley Park Stream yields excess water. Reservoir would serve as a management tool to help maximize the Yampa <br /> River basin's water resources. Additional storage would benefit both local agricultural and downstream <br /> users. <br />25 Sage Creek Reservoir Users in area water short due to runoff patterns. Opportunity to reactivate idle lands. Potential <br /> recreational opportunity. Colorado Division of Wildlife has expressed interest in past to cost-share on <br /> facilities rehabilitation. <br />28 Basin Reservoir <br />I <br />Storage would benefit local agricultural and downstream users. Potential recreational opportunity. <br /> Landowner ma be able to assist with re-construction by providing in-kind services. <br />LOWER YAMPA DRAINAGE <br />31 Elkhead #1 Users water short due to runoff patterns. Excess streamflow. Storage would benefit local agricultural <br /> and downstream users. Opportunity to reactivate idle lands. <br />37 RampartReservoir users water short due to runoff patterns. Stream yields adequate flow. Storage would benefit local <br /> agricultural and downstream users. Opportunity to reactivate idle lands. Possible flood-control structure <br /> for Craig, Colorado. <br />41 Little Bear #1 Users water short due to runoff patterns. Stream yields adequate flow. Storage would benefit local <br /> agricultural and downstream users. Opportunity to reactivate idle lands. <br />46 Three Points Local irrigators are water short due to runoff patterns. Stream yields sufficient water. Storage would <br /> benefit local agricultural and downstream users. Upstream of all use on Milk Creek. Yellowjacket <br /> maintains 30,000 ac-ft storage right in watershed. <br />49 Thornburgh Local irrigators are water short due to runoff patterns. Stream yields sufficient water. Storage would <br /> benefit local agricultural and downstream users. Yellowjacket maintains 30,000 ac-ft storage right in <br /> watershed. <br />51 Good Spring Users water short due to runoff patterns. Opportunity to reactivate idle lands. Potential for landowner to <br /> provide in-kind services. <br />56 Big Gulch #1 Users water short due to runoff patterns. Additional storage would benefit local irrigators and <br /> downstream users. <br />WILLIAMS FORK DRAINAGE <br />62 Salt Creek High in basin. Storage could be used in either Williams Fork or the Middle Yampa drainages. <br />69 Deer Creek #1 Morapos Creek is typically water short due to runoff patterns and is administered. Additional storage <br /> would benefit local irrigators and downstream users. <br />72 Monument Butte Morapos Creek is typically water short due to runoff patterns and is administered. Additional storage <br /> would benefit local irrigators and downstream users. <br />LITTLE SNA KE DRAINAGE <br />79 Slater Park Additional storage would benefit local irrigators and downstream users. Stream yields excess water. <br /> Would assist with administration of water rights along Little Snake River. <br />82 Pot Hook Reservoir would serve as a management tool to help maximize the Yampa River basin's water resources. <br /> Additional storage would benefit both local agricultural and downstream users. Stream yields excess <br /> water. <br />83 OVO Reservoir Storage would benefit local agricultural and downstream users. <br />84 Willow Creek Store a would benefit local agriculture and downstream users. <br />85/86 Martin Cull Storage would benefit local agricultural and downstream users. Existing reservoir typically fills and spills. <br /> Reservoir/Fourmile Store a could be diverted into the headwaters of Fortification Creek. <br />GREEN RIVE R DRAINAGE <br />87 Beaver Creek Storage would benefit local agricultural and downstream users. <br />89 S arks Reservoir Storage would benefit local agricultural and downstream users. <br />Note: 1) This table is adapted from the Phase 1 Yampa River Basin Small Reservoir Stud (Montgomery Watson, 2000). <br />Mon"x y Watson * P.O Box 774018 * Smwiurt Springy Colorado 80477 *(970)879-6260 <br />0813010Ojr{
