<br />000;63 <br /> <br />The water rights for Main Canal No.2 (formerly WOlD 714674) are now delivered through <br />the outlet works of the Great Cut Dike (WOlD 714676), the latter being a 65,foot high earth dam <br />constructed across the Great Cut. At most operating levels of McPhee Reservoir, deliveries into <br />the .U. Lateral and the Lone Pine Lateral can be made by gravity; however provisions are available <br />to pump the water into the .U. Lateral if the reservoir levels are too low. For the period of record <br />prior to 1986, the diversions from the Dolores River were recorded under WOlD 714674. <br /> <br />For purposes of keeping track of the imported water from the Dolores River, the Division <br />Engineer has operated a number of measuring gages. Prior to 1987, deliveries through the Lone <br />Pine Lateral were recorded as the sum of the Lone Pine Lateral at Big Drop (WOlD 320701) and <br />the Narraguinnep Inlet (WOlD 320699). Deliveries to irrigation were reflected as the sum of the <br />Lone Pine Canal at Highway Bridge (WOlD 320702) and the Narraguinnep Reservoir Outlet (WOlD <br />320700), After completion of the Dolores Project and installation of the measuring flume at the <br />Great Cut Dike, the diversions to storage in Narraguinnep Reservoir are recorded under (WOlD <br />320815) and the total deliveries to irrigation are still reflected as the sum of WOlD 320702 and <br />WOlD 320700. Since approximately 1981. irrigation water delivered to the .U. Lateral has been <br />recorded under WDID 320772. It is also noted that after completion of the Dolores Project, <br />project deliveries from McPhee Reservoir to the Dove Creek Canal (WOlD 322006) are also made <br />through the outlet works at Great Cut Dike. Deliveries to the Dove Creek Canal began in 1988 <br />and are discussed in more detail in this documentation under the heading . DOLORES PROJECT". <br /> <br />The MVIC is the owner of the following absolute water rights decreed for diversion from <br />the Dolores River. These are the irrigation water rights that are currently delivered transbasin <br />through the Dolores Tunnel (WOlD 714675) and the Great Cut Dike (WOlD 714676). <br /> <br />NAME ADJUDICATION APPROPRIATION ADMINISTRATION A'vO..Nf <br /> DATE DATE NUMBER <br />Main Canal No. 2 02,01,1892 05-01-1881 11444.00000 1.0cfs <br />Main Canal No. 1 02-01-1892 11-25-1885 13113.00000 7Cfl.7 dS <br />Main Canal No. 2 (AP) . . . . <br />Main Canal No. 1 03,22-1963 11-25-1885 30667.13113 90.0 cfs <br />Main Canal No.2 (AP) . . . . <br /> <br />Historically, the MVIC also owned a conditional direct flow water right in the amount of 592.3 cts <br />with an appropriation date of 11-25-1885 (administration date 13113.00000).
