Adame Tunnel in a southwesterly direction into <br /> <br /> <br />Grand Lake. From station 5/95, which station bears S. 740 3l' W., a dis- <br /> <br /> <br />tance of 1262.2 feet from the N? Cor. Seo. 9. T. 3 N., R. 75 W., 6th Prinoi- <br />pal Meridian, to st.tion 3 192.50, the inlet is a double barreled, reinforced <br />concrete, earth covered inlet conduit 20 feet in width. From station 3 192.50 <br />tha inlet structure fans out to an arc width of 300 feet at station 2 I 39.00 <br />which arc is the point of entrance of water from Grand Lake. The flow of <br />water through the inlet into the Alva B. Adams tunnel is controllad by two <br />steel radial gates located in s gate house at station 5 188. <br />The said Alva B. Ad~~s tunnel is a 9 feet 9 inch inside diameter <br />concrete lined section throughout its entire length of 69,029.94 feet with a <br />slope of 1.55 feet per thousand feet of length. Station 700 1 59.00 is the <br />outlet or eastern portal of said tunnel and said station bears S. 110 13' 25" <br />E., s distance of 1967.7 feet from NW Cor., Sec. 9, ,T. 4 N.. R. 73 W., Sixth <br />Principal Meridian. The tunnel discharges into the East Portal Reservoir. <br />snd said tunnel is more particularly shown on Sheet 4 of Exhibit C. <br />8. The Estes Park Aqueduct and Power System (Sheet 4, Exhibit C) <br />tr~nsports projeot appropriated water from the outlet of the Alva 9. Adams <br />Tunnel into the Estes Perk Lake formed ryy Olympus Dam across the Big Thompson <br />River located about one snd one-half miles east of Estes Park" Larimer County, <br />Colorado. developing hydro-eleotrio power enroute. <br />The East Portal Reservoir is formed by a rock-fill dam across Wind <br />River. The reservoir is used to divert western slope water into the Aspen <br />Creek Siphon, or spill Western Slope flows through an emergency overflow spill- <br />way down the Wind River ohannel to the Big Thompson River where it oan be <br />reoaptured in Estes Park Reservoir. East Portal Reservoir has a capsoity of <br />20 acrs feet. Wind River w~ters are bypassed in a pipe and do not normally <br />mingle with imported waters in the reservoir. The axis of the dam interseots <br /> <br /> <br />the extension of the oenterline of the Adams Tunnel at right angles such that <br /> <br /> <br />station 2 100 00 the dam axis coincides with station 708 I 06.0 on the tunnel <br /> <br />2G~S <br /> <br />
