<br />TOWAOC LATERALS <br /> <br />Three pipe lateral systems with a total length of about 31 miles will be <br />constructed to deliver water from ehe Towaoc Canal under gravity pressure to <br />the full-service lands on the Ute Mountain Ute Reservation. Project drainage <br />facilities will be provided where necessary. The present Aneth Road crosses <br />through some of the full-service l$nds to be developed. This will require <br />relocation of approximately 8.8 miles of the road. <br /> <br />MCPHEE DAM POWERPLANT <br /> <br />The McPhee Dam Powerplant will consist of a penstock from the outlet works of <br />the dam connected to two turbines ~hich will power a 1300 kilowatt generator. <br />The turbines, generator, and appurtenant equipment will be installed in a <br />pre-engineered metal building at the base of the dam. It will produce an <br />-average of 7,170.000 kilowatt-hours annually. <br /> <br />MCPHEE ACCESS ROADS <br /> <br />I: <br /> <br />To alleviate access problems caused by the inundation of county roads through <br />McPhee Reservoir, several county and Forest Service roads have been improved. <br />The Dolores-Norwood Road has been reconstructed and paved from Highway 145 in <br />Dolores, Colorado to the House Creek Road and widened and graveled from House <br />Creek Road to the Glade Road. Glade Road has been reconstructed and graveled <br />from the Dolores-Norwood Road to Ormiston Point Road. Lone Dome Road, from <br />Bradfield Bridge to McPhee Dam, and Ormiston Point Road, from Lone Dome Road <br />to the Glade Road, have also been reconstructed and graveled. Williams Draw <br />Road, from Bradfield Bridge to County Road 16, has been improved and graveled <br />to provide a complete circuit of all-weather roads around McPhee Reservoir. <br /> <br />RECREATION FACILITIES <br /> <br />Recreation facilities have been provided at House Creek Recreation Area on the <br />east side of McPhee Reservoir, at McPhee Recreation Complex on the west side <br />of McPhee Reservoir, and at four fisherman access sites at various locations <br />around McPhee Reservoir. These facilities are administered by the U.S. Forest <br />Service. <br /> <br />Recreation facilities will also be provided at seven sites along the Dolores <br />River belo~ McPhee Dam, including campsites, parking, drinking water, and <br />toilets.
