REA <br />bases part of its sedimentation concerns on a study by <br />Vaughn E. Hansen, brother of Utah State Engineer Dee C. <br />Hansen. Unfortunately, the Hansen sedimentation figures <br />(DEIS at 83, 85) erroneously use undepleted flows as the <br />basis for determining sedimentation. The long-term plan <br />for the Rangely site is to add the Wolf Creek Reservoir <br />upstream. This addition would resolve any sedimentation <br />issue as well as provide a timely and sufficient water <br />supply for Unit 2 of the power plant. <br />Any reasonable reviewer should be satisfied with <br />the Rangely White River water supply. But if all else <br />fails and Deseret still insists on using Green River <br />water, Deseret could construct a pipeline from Walker <br />Hollow to the Rangely plant. This option would be in- <br />finitely cheaper than building a railroad to move coal <br />from the Deserado mine to Bonanza. One can only marvel <br />at the arguments proferred by Utah State Engineer Dee <br />C. Hansen in opposing this idea. (See Appendix 2 of <br />the DEIS.) Apparently Mr. Hansen has concluded that <br />the citizens of Utah would not benefit from the Deseret <br />project if the Rangely site were chosen.
