<br /> <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />CHAPTER II <br /> <br />COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br /> <br />Artesia Canal <br /> <br />Artesia Canal. heading at the end of the outlet tunnel from the <br />Artesia Reservoir, would vary in capacity from 370 to 70 second-feet. <br />The Artesia Canal would be about 9 miles long and would consist mostly <br />of earth section. <br /> <br />Wonsits Canal <br /> <br />The Wonsits Canal would head at an elevation of 4,850 feet on Red <br />Wash that drains most of the project lands :on Deadman Bench. The canal <br />would have an initial capacity of 155 second-feet and a terminal capac- <br />ity of i5 second-feet. It would be about 14 miles long and would con- <br />sist mostly of earth section. A diversion dam would be required at the <br />head of the canal. <br /> <br />Savannah Butte Canal <br /> <br />Savannah Butte Canal would vary in capacity from 60 to 10 second- <br />feet and would be about 15 miles in length. It would consist almost <br />entirely of earth section. The diversion dam at the head of the canal <br />on the White River would be a concrete weir. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Laterals and drains <br /> <br />Lateral systems in the Maybell-Sunbeam area would be short and of <br />fairly simple construction while those 'west of Elk Springs would be long <br />and expensive to construct because of the rough terrain that would be <br />traversed. An extensive system of deep drains would be required to make <br />lands in the area suitable for irrigation. Drainage requirements would <br />be particularly heavy west of Elk Springs. <br /> <br />Juniper'powerplant and switchyard <br /> <br />The Juniper powerplant would be constructed at the toe of Juniper <br />Dam and would be remote controlled from the power operations center at <br />Montrose, Colo. The plant would have an installed generating capacity of <br />30,000 kilowatts. The plant would operate under static heads ranging from <br />164 to 205 feet. The penstock to the powerplant would be a welded steel <br />pipe approximately 700 feet long with an inside diameter of about 14 feet. <br />It would have a capacity of about 2,700 second-feet. A switchyard with <br />associated transformation equipment necessary to interconnect with the <br />nearby Colorado River Storage project transmission system would be installed <br />near the powerplant. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />23 <br />
