<br />,~ '~olf Creek Reservoi~woUld also produce an ad~ional 6,000 <br />acre-feet annually for irrigation. It also has a larger carry- <br />over of water than Taylor Draw Reservoir. It has increased <br />certainty of delivery, and its available sediment storage is <br />larger. <br />The draft EIS states that, "Wolf Creek, is, therefore, the <br />most likely.source of water for the Boon Lake Project and a pipe- <br />line route has been identified from it to the Rangely site." <br /> <br />-.) <br /> <br />Water Quantities and Qualities <br /> <br />Green River near Jensen, Utah <br /> <br />average annual flow <br />lowest year flow, 1963 <br />peak flows in June average <br />low flows in winter average <br />salinity in TDS, 1976 levels <br />Green River near Green River, Wyo. <br />Green River near Greendale, Utah <br />Green River near Green River, Utah <br /> <br />3,157,000 acre-feet <br />1,055,000 acre-feet <br />15,000 c.f.s. <br />3,000 c.f.s. <br /> <br />323 mg/l <br />428 mg/l <br />464 mg/l <br /> <br />White River near Watson, Utah ,.\ <br /> <br />":" <br />-.'. <br /> <br />average annual flow <br />lowest year flow, 1977 <br />late spring flows average <br />fall & winter flows average <br /> <br />502,800 acre-feet <br />223,200 acre-feet <br />3,000-4,000 c.f.s. <br />200-350 c.f.s. <br /> <br />salinity in TDS, 1976 level <br /> <br />445 mg/l <br /> <br />Salinity Effects <br />The cumulative effects of using 17,470 acre-feet of water <br />, <br />from the White River for the power plant, and 1,565.6 acre-feet <br />for the Deserado Mine and a slurry pipeline would amount to an <br />increase in salinity of the White River of 13 mg/l, or from the <br />present 445 to 458 mg/l in the year 2000. <br /> <br />0311 <br /> <br />P ,I} <br />'/, - <br />
