<br />, , , <br /> <br />on083~ <br /> <br />ALTERNATIVE D <br /> <br />Due to the many variations inherent in this alternative it has <br />been separated into four subalternatives; I, II, III, and IV, based <br />upon the amount of water made available by each proposal. Every pro- <br />posal offered under Alternative D consists of the same basic elements. <br />. Assumptions as to the management of the system results in the four <br />variations. The basic segments outlined in these alternatives are <br />as follows: <br /> <br />Upper Savery Reservoir - <br />As proposed, this reservoir would be built on Savery Creek at <br />the confluence of Bird Gulch and would have an average annual <br />yield of 30,400 acre-feet. Storage would be used to supplement <br />all permitted agriculture on Savery Creek below the dam, on <br />the Little Snake River below the confluence of Savery Creek, and <br />the excess, (approximately 18,600 acre-feet annually), would <br />remain in the stream to the Town of Baggs where it would be <br />diverted and pumped into a delivery line. <br /> <br />Three Forks Reservoir - <br />Located high on the Little Snake River near the confluence of <br />the Roaring Fork, this reservoir is in an advantageous position <br />to provide supplemental water for agriculture, industrial, and <br />municipal needs along the Little Snake River. The projected <br />yield from this reservoir is 102,800 acre-feet per year. Assumptions <br />made as to the distribution of this water are the elements which <br />dictate the four options to be discussed. <br /> <br />Pump Stations - <br />Three pump stations have been located to boost the water from <br />the Little Snake River near Baggs to the Continental Divide. <br />The pump stations will vary in cost and capacity from one option <br />to another. The options of powering with electricity or natural <br />gas have been explored under each alternative. <br /> <br />Pipeline - <br />The pipeline routing has been selected to follow the corridor <br />established by the Exxon Pipeline Company for its proposed "LaSal <br />Oil Line". The route begins at Baggs and proceeds north along <br />the west side of Highway 789 to a point near the Overland Stage <br />Monument. From this point the alignment crosses the highway, <br />proceeds northeasterly across the Continental Divide, then northerly <br />to Interstate 80 near the Riner Interchange. The pipeline will <br />then turn eastward in an established corridor, past Rawlins to <br />Sinclair and then to the North Platte River near Sugar Creek. <br /> <br />It should be noted here that since these alternatives are energy <br />intensive, their feasibility is dependent on,a maximum efficiency design. <br />The pipeline. sizes have been selected in conjunction with pump capacities <br />and energy costs to provide the most cost effective system [or the Jife <br />of the project. These pipe sizes will not be universally applicable to <br />illl pumping quantities but rather are restricted to a range of quant"it"les. <br />However, this does not mean that a given system can only deliver the <br /> <br />16 <br /> <br />
