Powell Park a1d Lost Park Reservoirs This two-reservoir alternative would utilize water for irrigation requirements a.nd Lost Park industrial Reservoir to water for store cOill I I I I I I , I I I I I I I I I I I I approximatel,f 10 miles along the White River and terminating~t the 3000-foot tunnel through Oak Ridge. shale water would be released directly to the North downstream. Big Beaver Municipal Fork for Creek, and cil diversion The abutment!; at the best topographic site are composed of the Eagle Valley Evaporites. Dissolution and resulting slumping are intense and would create extreme construction and stability problems. Warner Point Reservoir The Warner Pc,int alternative would be similar to Steeley, except that the reservoir WOL Id be located downstream of the confluence of the North and South Forks cf the White River. Some variation in the irrigation and coal delivery system would result. The reservoir site used in this plan would not inundate Lake Avery or the confluence of the two forks. This reservoir has considerable potential for hydropower.. Warner Point Dam and Reservoir would be located on the White River approximately three miles above Miller Creek. The dpm would have a height of 180 feet and a crest length of 1160 feet. Total reservoir storage would be about 65,000 acre-feet. The irrigation and coal delivery systl!m would require a pumping plant located on the north bank of the reservoir. The pumping plant would discharge into a pipeline about six mil,es long that would parallel Big Beaver Creek to the tunnel through Oak Ridge. Direct releases to the river will satisfy the municipal and oil shale demands. The abutments should be in hard sandstone north. The river valley may contain up to bedrock. and siltstone dipping to the 100 feet of gravel overlying IV-8
