<br /> <br />. <br /> <br />CHA1'TER II <br /> <br />CQt1PP.EEEIlSIVE PLAiI <br /> <br />Plan of Development <br /> <br />The Juniper project plan described ffild appraised in this chapter <br />provides for irrigation, hydroelectric power, fish and wildlife, and <br />recreation, with irrigation On about the maximum scale that could be <br />provided with the available land resources. The project would provide <br />an average Rllnual diversion of 469',000 acre-feet for the irriGation of <br />100,000 acres of full service land, including about 32,000 acres in <br />Colorado and 63,000 acres in Utah. It would provide approximately 30,000 <br />kilowatts of installed generating capacity and would produce an average <br />of approximately 96,000,000 kilowatt-hours annually. If needs for munic- <br />ipal and industrial water should arise in the project area, they could <br />readily be met through reductions in the supply that would otherwise be <br />available for power and irrigation. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Water for the Juniper project would be supplied primarily from the <br />Yampa River. Small additional supplies for irrigation would be provided <br />by direct flow diversions from the White River and fro'n return flow from <br />project diversions. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br /> <br />Looking upstream (eastward) at Juniper Dam site <br />on Yampa River. <br /> <br />15 <br />
