<br />" <br /> <br />OnJ'183 <br /> <br />'. <br /> <br />Thcse facilitics will provide an annual averagc water supply of <br /> <br />about 57,900 acre-fcct. This will causc a stream depletion of <br /> <br />about 28,000 <br /> <br />acrc-fcet per year. <br /> <br />As mentioncd bcfore water will be provided from Soap, <br /> <br />Curecanti, and Crystal Creeks--all tributaries of Gunnison River. <br /> <br />Soap Creek flows will be regulated at Soap Park Reservoir on the <br /> <br />creek and conveyed to Crystal Creek by the Black Mesa Conduit. <br /> <br />Natural flows of Carecanti Creek in excess of those needed for <br /> <br />downstream fishery, will also be diverted into the, conduit. Releases <br /> <br />from the Black Mesa Conduit will be' delivered to the Fruitland Canal. <br /> <br />The first 2\ miles of the 21-mile-long Fruitland Canal will <br /> <br />be a replacement of the existing Fruitland Ditch. Three major <br /> <br />turnouts will be made from the canal to existing facilities, including <br /> <br />(1) Cattlemens Ditch; (2) to Gould Reservoir through a section of the <br /> <br />old Fruitland Ditch and (3) Castle Canyon, a natural channel leading <br /> <br />to the existing Gould Canal. Minor turnouts will be made directly to <br /> <br />project lands and to distribution laterals. <br /> <br />Eleven miles of the Gould Canal west of Castle Canyon will <br /> <br />be enlarged by the canal owners except for two major siphons which <br /> <br />are being replaced by the Bureau as a part of the project. The existing <br /> <br />Gould Reservoir will provide regulation of project water delivered <br /> <br />to it from Crystal Creek and the Fruitland Canal. <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />~ <br />I <br />f <br /> <br />I <br />r <br />
