<br />/ <br />I <br />/ <br /> <br />000529 <br /> <br />April 1971 <br /> <br />SUMMARY SHEETS <br /> <br />Dallas Creek Project <br /> <br />LOCATION West-central Colorado in Upper Colorado River Basin. <br /> <br />fl&!i <br /> <br />The Dallas Creek project will develop water of the Uncompahgre River <br />and tributaries for irrigation and municipal and industrial use. It <br />also will provide benefits to recreation, fish and wildlife, flood <br />control and improve segments of the environment, <br /> <br />Storage will be provided in three project reservoirs--the Ridgway on <br />the Uncompahgre River and Dallas Creek, the Dallas Divide ~n Pleasant <br />Valley Creek, and the Sneva offstream from Cow Creek. Natural flows <br />at Ridgway Reservoir will be supplemented by flows of Cow Creek diverted <br />by the Cow Creek Feeder Canal. Chief distribution facility forirriga- <br />tion releases from the reservoir will be the McKenzie .Canal which would <br />receive water .pumped by the Ridgway Pumping Plant. Natural flows.at <br />Dallas Divide Reservoir will be supplemented by flows of the East and <br />West Forks of Dallas Creek diverted by the Dallas Creek Feeder Canal. <br />Water from this reservoir will be delivered to project lands by the <br />Pleasant Valley and Log Hill Mesa Canals. Sneva Reservoir will be fed <br />by an existing ditch from Cow Creek, a portion of which will be realigned. <br />Reservoir releases will be distributed by the Sneva Outlet Canal. Project <br />laterals and drains will be constructed as needed. <br /> <br />The project municipal and industrial water supply will be developed at <br />Ridgway Reservoir and will be delivered to the Tri-County Water Conserv- <br />ancy District on the Uncompahgre River below Ridgway Pumping Plant, The <br />district will be responsible for treatment of the water and delivery to <br />the water users. Water will be supplied to Olathe, Montrose, Delta, and <br />surrounding rural areas, . <br /> <br />Recreational facilities will be provided at all project reservoirs, and <br />specific measures would be taken at project cost for fish and wildlife. <br />Conservation storage in Ridgway Reservoir will be evacuated for control <br />of snowmelt floods as the need was indicated by forecasts, <br /> <br />ADMINISTRATION <br /> <br />.
