<br />~ <br /> <br />PROJECT SUMMARY <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />The proposed Stagecoach Reservoir will be located on the <br /> <br />Yampa River about 17 1/2 miles south of Steamboat Springs in Routt <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />County, Colorado. The Project provides a unique opportunity to <br /> <br />develop, at low cost, a supply of stored water for existing and <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />future municipal and industrial growth, in addition to providing <br /> <br />increased supplies of supplemental irrigation water in the area <br /> <br />served by the Upper Yampa Water Conservancy District (District). <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The Project will develop a 33,720 acre-foot reservoir, of which <br /> <br />3,500 acre-feet will be inactive storage. The reservoir will have <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />a surface area of approximately 780 acres at the normal maximum <br /> <br />water surface elevation of 7,200 feet. <br /> <br />The 33,720 acre-foot capacity reservoir has been sized to <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />utilize, to the fullest extent possible, the land and water rights <br /> <br />available from Colorado-Ute Electric Association, Inc. Three <br /> <br />different project sizes have been investigated to determine the <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />optimum project size for the given site and right-of-way limita- <br /> <br />tions. The results of that investigation showed that the 33,720 <br /> <br />- <br />... <br /> <br />acre-foo~ project would cost $331 per acre-foot, a smaller 25,500 <br /> <br />acre-foot reservoir would cost $404 per acre-foot and an 18,500 <br /> <br />acre-foot reservoir would cost $508 per acre-foot to develop. <br /> <br />-' <br /> <br />vii <br />
