<br />00091~ <br /> <br />conveyance losses, this option could provide 68,000 acre-feet per year <br />for transbasin diversion. According to the Little Snake River Compact, <br />Wyoming would be allowed to develop in excess of 43,000 acre-feet in <br />addition to the amount suggested by this plan. <br /> <br />ALTERNATIVE D-III <br /> <br />This proposal can generate 133,200 acre-feet of storage per year. <br />Upper Savery Reservoir would provide 30,400 acre-feet and Three Forks can <br />provide 102,800 acre-feet. By management of this system toward maximum <br />yield, it is possible to provide for existing permitted agricultural use <br />within the Little Snake River drainage, assess conveyance losses, and <br />deliver 102,989 acre-feet for demands outside the basin. <br /> <br />Although there would remain undeveloped water in the Little Snake <br />River drainage available under the compact, this alternative would more <br />nearly approach total development of Wyoming's allocation than would <br />the other alternatives. <br /> <br />ALTERNATIVE D-IV <br /> <br />This alternative, as proposed, would completely allocate Wyoming's <br />allotment under the Little Snake River Compact. A total of 156,616 <br />acre-feet would be developed by securing 30,400 acre-feet from Upper Savery <br />Reservoir. Three Forks would be built 10 feet higher than that used iu <br />Alternatives D-II and D-III. This excess capacity and the assumption <br />that the Stage II collection system would not be built would raise the <br />yield of Three Forks Reservoir to 126,216 acre-feet. <br /> <br />The proposed operation of the system would provide 18,768 acre-feet <br />for existing agricultural permits and extended municipal needs. There <br />would be 27,848 acre-feet available for unspecified in-basin uses, 10,000 <br />acre-feet for conveyance losses, and 100,000 acre-feet for transbaSin <br />delivery. <br /> <br />1J <br />
