FLE1lING CONPANY . <br />BASE P?-D3LEH FILE <br />\'-~ITE RIVER BASIN <br /> <br />BJ>SIC ASSU;.l?TIONS <br /> <br />In this base prob1ea file, the ~'hite River basin in Colorado wi~+ be, <br /> <br />analyzed for the ultimate stage of developme~t which can reasonably be <br /> <br />expected to occur. The time period during which the deve10pment is.e~ected <br /> <br />to occur may be taken into account if the user so desires or studies can be <br /> <br />made based sole~y upon the ultimate stage of development. <br /> <br />The approach described above is be~ieved to be the most practica~ approach <br /> <br />and shou~d lead to logical conclusions. The opposite approach, in which. <br /> <br />every absolute and conditional decree is assumed to be cow~letely developed <br /> <br />,at some time in 'the future, is believed to be not only impractica~ but <br /> <br />complete~y unreasonab~e., <br /> <br />Tne basic principles used in preparing the base prob~em file were as 'follows: <br /> <br />1. An oil shale indust...ry having a rnaximu.'1l plant capacity at <br /> <br />anyone time of 1,500,000 barre~s per day. Sixty percent of <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />the water requirements fo.r this industry wou1.d be supp~ied from <br />. <br /> <br />the ~1nite River basin and ther~ ",ou1.d be no return flows. <br /> <br />2. A themal power deve~opment (coal fired) with a maximu.'1l capacity <br /> <br />'7 <br />. <br /> <br />of 3,500 l-lli located in the Rangely and Coal Creek areas. Water <br /> <br />,~ <br /> <br />require.'1lents would be met from the White River basin and there <br /> <br />would be no return flows. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />0280 <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />- 1 - <br /> <br />I <br />",) '.'; <br />'1.\'-> <br />! <br />
