<br />001090 <br /> <br />Mile Reach. It will typically take one to two days for these reservoir releases to anive at the 15- <br />Mile Reach. Given this transit time, it may be difficult to time upstream releases in response to <br />changing stream flow conditions in the IS-Mile Reach. However, the transit issues associated with <br />these upstream facilities are similar to issues related to the existing Recovery Program use ofRuedi <br />Reservoir, Williams Fork Reservoir, Wolford Mountain Reservoir and other facilities. <br /> <br />With the alternatives that utilize upstream storage (Wolcott Reservoir, OMID Water Management <br /> <br /> <br />and Wolford Mountain Reservoir Enhancements), the releases of the Recovery Program water will <br /> <br /> <br />enhance stream flow in portions of the upper Colorado River or the Eagle River that could also <br /> <br /> <br />benefit from supplemental water. Improved water quality and enhanced aquatic habitat may result <br /> <br /> <br />from the use of upstream storage associated with Wolcott Reservoir, Wolford Mountain Reservoir <br /> <br /> <br />or Green Mountain Reservoir (OMID Water Management). <br /> <br />Several of the alternatives are multi-use facilities that would provide water for other beneficial <br />purposes in addition to Recovery Program uses.. Wolcott Reservoir, in particular, would provide <br />substantial water storage for other West Slope and East Slope purposes. Webster Hill Reservoir, <br />, . <br />Wolford Mountain Reservoir Enhancements and OMID Water Management are also configured to <br />provide water supplies for non-Recovery Program use. <br /> <br />i <br />. ~ <br /> <br />RECOVERY PROGR-\1\1 ALTERNATIVES <br />1-4 <br />
