<br />-, <br /> <br />};,:, <br />":{.ff) <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />coal-fired steam-electric generating plant expected to be constructed <br />nearby, and the remainder would be distributed for irrigation through the <br />McDermott Canal that would extend south from the reservoir. The Meadows <br />Diversion Canal would extend southwest from the Long Hollow Diversion <br />Dam to the Ute Meadows Reservoir. releasing part of its water for irriga- ; <br />tion en route. Ute Meadows Reservoir water would be released into the <br />Meadows Canal and distributed for irrigation. Some water for municipal <br />and industrial use would also be available at the Long Hollow Diversion <br />Dam. The Helton Diversion Dam and some ditches and laterals would be <br />constructed to supplement existing structures in diverting water from the <br />La Plata River below the Long Hollow Diversion Dam and delivering it to <br />nearby lands. Other facilities required for the diversion of river water <br />for municipal and industrial uses would be provided by the water users. <br /> <br />Laterals would branch from each of the project canals. <br />sive drainage systems would be constructed. A limited system of <br />channels would be provided to carry off storm runoff. <br /> <br />Exten- <br />flood <br /> <br />"" <br />~, <br /> <br />Fisheries would be created in the inactive space in project <br />reservoirs. and recreational facilities would be provided at each' <br />reservoir. <br /> <br />The plan covered in this statement is the same as presented to <br />Congress in the feasibility report in 1968. Some changes are anticipated <br />as a result of advance planning studies now under way. <br /> <br />Substantial quantities of water from the project would be made <br />available to the Southern Ute and Ute Mountain Ute Indian reservations <br />in southwestern Colorado. Up to this time. no water has ever been <br />allocated to the Ute Mountain Ute Indian reservation. A small amount of <br />water has been allocated to the Southern Ute Indian reservation through <br />the Pine River project. <br /> <br />;r". <br /> <br />'" <br />, <br /> <br />;:.~ <br /> <br />. ...~' <br /> <br />-~ <br /> <br />;-~ <br /> <br />~.~~ <br /> <br />Pro;ect Costs (Estimated) <br /> <br />~~ <br />. <br />i'>'; <br />,'i <br /> <br />Irrigation <br /> <br />$116.023,400 <br /> <br />Municipal and industrial <br /> <br />41.542.300 <br /> <br />Fish and wildlife <br /> <br />1.494.000 <br /> <br />Recreation <br /> <br />940,300 <br /> <br />Total Cost <br /> <br />$160.000,000 <br /> <br />-3- <br />
