<br />Site A' dam. In addition to capturing flows from Muddy Creek, water could also be pumped into the <br />reservoir from the Colorado River, This would require an intake below the Colorado-Blue River <br />junction, 2 miles west of Kremmling, and a pump station to lift the flow about 160 feet to the average <br />reservoir level, Reservoir capacities ranged from 80,000 af to 120,000 af, <br /> <br />Wolford Mountain Site C: Wolford Mountain Site C is located on Muddy Creek, 5 miles north <br />of Kremmling and 3,8 miles upstream from Site A'. The dam site is a 250-foot wide canyon with <br />sides that rise steeply to a height of approximately 80 feet, At that point, the left abutment is <br />relatively flat for about 500 feet, continuing east to the base of Wolford Mountain. The right abutment <br />slopes gently upwards towards Highway 40, located 0,7 miles west of the site, <br /> <br />] ! <br /> <br />i <br />_i <br /> <br />The full reservoir water surface at Site C would be 10 feet higher than the water surface <br />proposed for an alternative reservoir at Site A'. Considering that Site C is more distant from the <br />Colorado River than Site A', supplemental storage of pumped water would be more expensive and <br />was not included, Reservoir capacities ranged from 46,800 af to 80,000 af, <br /> <br />Azure: The Azure Dam Site is located on the Colorado River at the upper end of the Lower <br />Gore Canyon, about 10 miles downstream from Kremmling. The Lower Gore Canyon is a narrow, <br />deep gorge characterized by rugged, precipitous topography, While two dam heights were <br />previously investigated at this site, only the higher dam, approximately 225 feet high was selected as <br />retaining sufficient capacity for the purpose of this Study, Reservoir capacities ranged from 40,000 <br />af to 85,000 af, <br /> <br />Lower Piney: The Lower Piney Site is located on the Piney River, about 1,5 miles upstream <br />from the confluence with the Colorado River at State Bridge. In addition to capturing the flows of the <br />Piney River, the site could serve as an off-stream storage facility for water pumped from the <br />Colorado River, Reservoir capacities ranged from 80,000 af to 120,000 af, <br /> <br /><--/ <br /> <br />'--' <br /> <br />Iron Mountain: The Iron Mountain Site is located on Homestake Creek, just upstream of its <br />confluence with the Eagle River at Redcliff. The dam would be located 9 miles downstream from <br />Homestake Reservoir, Besides the flows of Homestake Creek, the reservoir would receive water <br />diverted from an upstream reach of the Eagle River by gravity flow, Reservoir capacities ranged <br />from 68,000 af to 103,000 af. <br /> <br />'---' <br /> <br />2-2 <br />
