<br />3. A coal gaSi~ation industry of such siz~S to require <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />an annual water supply from the ~nite River basin of <br /> <br />30,000 ~~ with no return flows to the streacs. <br /> <br />4. Future developwent of irrigation equivalent to 16,000 acres <br /> <br />of full service lands, or about 50 percent grater than 1970 <br /> <br />1evels~ '~aters for this development would be supplied from <br /> <br />the White River basin augmented by 5,800 AF imported from the <br /> <br />y~pa River and stored in Lost Park ReservoLr for use in the <br /> <br />Yellow Jacket Project area. ~nere would be significant return <br /> <br />flows to'the strea~s. <br /> <br />5. A population growth of,lOO,OOO people 10catea in Meeker, <br /> <br />Rangely and at one or two new towns in the'basin. 11ater require- <br />- . <br /> <br />mants would be' supplied from the v,hite River basin and there <br /> <br />would be significant return flows to the stream. <br /> <br />6. Deliveries at the Colorado - Utah state line aggregating 150,000 <br />vvve-- v? <br />7a.HAvI'to 200,000 AF per annum. Based upon a mean historic flow at <br /> <br />()J that po!-nt of about 509: 000 AF, the amount; of \-later available <br /> <br />. - <br /> <br />. <br />annually to developments in Colorado woUld be 300,000 AF to <br /> <br />3?0,OOO AF. <br /> <br />7. <br /> <br />/o!inirnum stream flow requirements would have to be met by all <br />---- <br />projects all or partly upon federal lands and for other major <br /> <br />main-stem projects. It was assumed that the public would <br /> <br />successfully demand such requirements for projects not having <br /> <br />such constraints at the present time. <br /> <br />0279 <br /> <br />- 2 - <br /> <br />,I <br />('!1 <br />.....'J( . <br />
