The <br />results of this investigation were presented in an "Interim Alternatives <br />Report" in May 1982. After a review of these eight alternative plans, the <br />CWCB selected three for final study. <br /> <br />The three plans selected for final evaluation are <br />Mountain Reservoir, and Warner Point Reservoir. <br />locations of the major facilities. <br /> <br />Avery Reservoir, Sawmill <br />Figure ES-l shows the <br /> <br />The Avery and Sawmill Mountain Reservoirs would be located on Big Beaver <br />Creek. The intake diversion works for these two reservoirs would be built <br />upstream on the North Fork of the White River to supply a pipeline which <br />would convey the water by gravity to the reservoirs. Avery Reservoir would <br />replace the existing lake Avery, and the existing dam would be removed and <br />replaced by a larger structure. Sawmill Mountain Reservoir would require a <br />dam about three miles upstream from lake Avery. Warner Point Reservoir <br />would require a dam on the White River about five miles downstream from the <br />confluence of the North and South Forks. <br /> <br />Water for oil shale interests would be available for diversion out of the <br />White River near the mouths of Sheep Creek, Piceance Creek, and Yellow <br />Creek. The Sheep Creek diversion point would require a pumping plant and <br />pipeline which was assigned to deliver about 26,300 acre-feet annually to <br />the headwaters of Piceance Creek. At this point, delivery of the water to <br />its point of use was assumed to be the responsibility of the users. The <br />diversion and delivery facilities at the mouths of Piceance and Yellow <br />Creeks would have 26,200 acre-feet of water available annually. The <br />delivery of this water to its point of use was also assumed to be the <br />responsibility of the users. <br /> <br />The municipal and domestic water for the Meeker area would be available for <br />diversion out of the White River upstream of the town of Meeker. <br /> <br />Water for agriculture and coal would be conveyed by a tunnel through Oak <br />Ridge into a pressure pipeline beginning at the upper reaches of Little <br />Beaver Creek and ending near the town of Meeker. <br /> <br />ES-3 <br />
