<br />060819 <br /> <br />ALTERNATIVE A <br /> <br />The elements composing this alternative are those recommended in <br />the "Little Snake River Water Management Project - Feasibility Study." <br />The main elements involved are: <br /> <br />Battle Creek to Jack Creek Collection System - <br />This system is a pipeline thirty-eight (38) miles in length. <br />It begins near the old town site of Rambler with a 24-inch <br />diameter concrete pipe. The system then continues in a <br />northwesterly direction accumulating collected water and <br />increasing in size until it reaches the proposed tunnel <br />through the Continental Divide. <br /> <br />Upper Jack Creek Reservoir - <br />This reservoir would be located on Jack Creek within the <br />National Forest. As proposed, the dam would have an active <br />storage capacity of 38,160 acre-feet. The high water level <br />would inundate about 735 acres including much of Jack Creek <br />Park. <br /> <br />Jack Creek to North Platte River Pipeline - <br />This pipeline would intercept water released from Jack Creek <br />Reservoir and transmit it 17.5 miles to the North Platte <br />River. This is necessary to minimize erosion on the lower <br />reaches of Jack Creek. <br /> <br />Upper Savery Reservoir - <br />This reservoir which will be constructed on the upper end of <br />Savery Creek will not provide water for out-of-basin transfer <br />in this alternative, but rather will provide a supplemental <br />supply of water for in-basin needs. <br /> <br />If it is developed, this alternative will collect 30,000 acre- <br />feet of water per year and deliver it to Jack Creek Reservoir by way <br />of the Battle Creek to Jack Creek Collection System. Water would be <br />released from Jack Creek Reservoir and into the North Platte River <br />where it will be available to project participants. <br /> <br />3 <br />
