<br />0;):;4';'1 <br />Anim~~-La Plata Project (Continued) <br /> <br />Part of the reservoir vater would be available for use at a coal- <br />fired steac-electric generating plant expected to be constructed <br />nearby, and the remainder vould be distributed for irrigation through <br />the McDernott Canal that \o'Oul.d extend south from the reservoir. The <br />Meadows Diversion Canal would extend southwest from the Long HolloY <br />Diversion Dam to the Ute }.!eadovs Reservoir, releasing part of its <br />vater for irrigation en route. Ute l.feadovs Reservoir ....'8.ter would be <br />released into the Meadows Canal and distributed for irrigation. So~e <br />vater fOT municipal and industrial use would also be made available <br />at the Long Hollow Diversion Dan. The Helton Diversion Dam and soee <br />ditches and laterals would be constructed to supplement existing <br />structures in diverting vater from the La Plata River below the Lor.g <br />Rollow Diversion Dam and delivering it to nearby lands. Other <br />facilities required for the diversion of river water for municipal <br />and industrial uses would be provided by the water users. <br /> <br />Laterals would branch from each of the project canals. Extensive <br />drainage systems vould be constructed. A l1mi ted system of flood <br />channels would be provided to carry oft storm runoff. <br /> <br />Fisheries ~~uld.be created in the inactive space in project reser- <br />voirs, and recreational facilities vould be provided at each res- <br />ervoir. <br /> <br />Tbe plan covered in this statement is the same as presented to Congress <br />in the feasibility report in 1968. Some changes are anticipated as <br />a result of advance planning studies now undervay. <br /> <br />Costs ($1000) <br /> <br />Construction costs (October 1967 prices) <br />Howardsville Dam and Reservoir <br />Hay Gulch D&!I. and .'Reservoir .... <br />Ute Meado'W's Dam and Reservoir <br />Animas Mountain Dans, Reservoir and <br />f"eeder lines . . . . . . . . <br />Three Buttes Dam and Reservoir <br />Teft Diversion Dam . . . . . <br />La Plata River Diversion Dam <br />Long Hollow Diversion Dam <br />Helton Diversion Dan . <br />Animas Diversion Canal <br />Red r.:esa Canal <br />Dry Side Canal <br />Ponds Canal <br />Ute Canal <br />Meadows Diversion Canal <br />Headow5 Canal <br />Long Hollo....
