<br /> <br />',' <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The second basic plan consisted of developmen~ by gravity flow <br />only for about 780 a"res u.nder t,he Hale Di+,c.h and a pr,,?,'\sed pumping <br />plant from the Bonny Reservoir outlet works to serve 6t;oO acres of' <br />which ls800 acres were to be in Kansas. This plan required water to <br />be ra:Lced 280 feet, and more than 4 miles of discharge pipe was <br />needed to reach adequate desirable lands in Colorado near the <br />reservoir and a lengthy costly canal required to reach the Kmsas <br />lands. This plan proved to be too costly to be economically feasible <br />from either a construction or operating basis and WaS ab8ndoned. <br />The third basic plan IIlld the only plan that yet has merits for <br />development is the plan we are now presenting for your consideration. <br />The plan will provide for maximum development of 7,000 acres subject <br />to some probable reduction based on ground-water studies planned to <br />further explore potential upstream development. "A total of 5,200 acres <br />will be irrigated in Colorado and l,800 acres in Kansas unless sane <br />reduction is necessary. <br />The plan will provide for a pumping plant to lift water about l80 <br />feet into a lined canal t8 serve 4,500 acres in COlorado, and an extended <br />canal to serve the l,8oo acres in Kansas. The addition of the Kansas <br />area although requiring more canal reduced the ovel'-all operating cost, <br />since a fixed charge may be required fer transmission line operation. <br />The plan for service to the Hale Ditch of 700 acres will allow for <br />an option of a supplemental water supply from storage. There are about <br />JOO acres in Colorado that could be served by extending the 9 miles of <br />gravity supply canal from Bonny Dam about 4 miles past the pumping plant. <br /> <br /> <br />2468 <br /> <br />2 <br />
