Two other types of information are mentioned in the WC's Scope of Services under Water Action <br />Plan requirements, which include: 1) monitoring and accounting methods; and 2) recommendations <br />concerning how Program water moves through the system to maximize benefits to the habitat. <br />These two topics are addressed in Chapters IV and V, respectively. <br />B. Nebraska Projects <br />1. CNPPID RE- REGULATING RESERVOIR <br />0 Location: <br />Several re- regulating reservoir options were evaluated by HDR Engineering Inc. (HDR) <br />for Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District (CNPPID). The HDR report, <br />titled Depletion Mitigation Study Phase I, was made available to Boyle Engineering on <br />April 13, 2000. The HDR report has been relied on for information on potential re- <br />regulating reservoirs within CNPPID's system. <br />Nebraska indicated they are willing to consider a re- regulating reservoir(s) capable of <br />yielding an annual average of up to 8,000 ac -ft of target flow reductions at the critical <br />habitat, of which 4,000 to 5,500 ac -ft would be made available to the Program (Jim Cook, <br />Nebraska Natural Resource's Commission, June 28, 2000 memo). The remaining portion <br />of the yield will be retained by Nebraska to potentially offset future depletions. An <br />average of up to 8,000 ac -ft /yr of target flow reductions could be attained through a <br />single re- regulating reservoir or a combination of reservoirs. As such, the six most <br />promising re- regulating reservoir options evaluated in the HDR report are presented <br />below. <br />The site locations of the six re- regulating reservoirs listed in order by location from west <br />to east are described as follows: <br />Option 1: Jeffrey Canyon Reservoir. This site is located south of Brady in Lincoln <br />County on the south side of the Central District Supply (Canal). This reservoir would be <br />fed from Jeffrey Reservoir. The reservoir capacity is estimated to be 10,390 ac -ft. <br />Option 2: Smith Canyon Reservoir. This site is located southwest of Gothenburg in <br />Dawson County on the south side of the Canal. This reservoir would be fed by water <br />pumped from the Canal. The reservoir capacity is estimated to be 12,895 ac -ft. <br />Options 3 &4: Midway Lakes Reservoirs No. 2 and No. 5. These sites are located south <br />of Willow Island in Dawson County on the south side of the Canal. These reservoirs <br />would be fed by water pumped from the Canal. The capacities of Midway Lakes <br />Reservoirs No. 2 and No. 5 are is estimated to be 6,433 ac -ft and 11,429 ac -ft, <br />respectively. <br />Option 5: North Plum Creek Reservoir. This site is located southeast of Cozad in <br />Dawson County on the north side of the Canal. This reservoir would be fed by water <br />from the Canal. The reservoir capacity is estimated to be 2,320 ac -ft. <br />\\DN00\E- DRIVE\PROJECTS\Platte \Work Products \Task 9 \wapc report (Version 7).doe 9 <br />
