<br />["'-" <br /> <br />,; <br /> <br />/1-\\ <br />~ DURANGO PUMPING PLANT SITE <br /> <br />The level area to the southwest (with marker) would contain the facilities <br />necessary to pump water from the Animas,River to the proposed RIDGES BASIN <br />RESERVOIR. <br /> <br />The plant intake would be a concrete-lined structure 300 feet long ,and <br />11.6 feet deep leading from the river to a settling basin. This settling <br />basin would be designed to remove particles 0.10 millimeter or more in size <br />to prevent damage to the pumps. Fish screens would keep fish from entering <br />the pumps. <br /> <br />Physical plant: 2-story building, low-prefile structure, mostly below <br />original ground surface <br />18,000 square feet of floor space <br />13 electrical pumps <br />Adjacent power substation and parking area' <br />Maximum vertical lift: 525 feet <br />Maximum capacity: 430 cubic feet per second <br />Distance to reservoir: 2.1 miles <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />The water would be conveyed to the reservoir through the proposed RIDGES <br />BASIN INLET CONDUIT, which would extend up the ridge to the west. It would <br />consist of 1,,6 miles of concrete and steel pipe 8.5 feet in diameter buried <br />5 to 10 feet below the ground surface, and of (;.5 mile of a concrete-lined <br />tunnel. The water supply for Durango would be pumped through this conduit <br />to a treatment plant and discharged through the DURANGO MUNICIPAL AND INDUS- <br />TRIAL PIPELINE. The flow to the city would be by gravity. The project,water <br />supply for the New Mexico cities and the Navajo Tribe would be riverflow <br />passed by the pumping plant, Ulmer usual conditions., However, whenever riyer- <br />flow was not sufficient to meet Durango's and these other municipal needs, <br />water would be released from storage in Ridges Basin Reservoir. <br /> <br />Distance to Information Sign 2: 3.4 miles <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />RIDGES BASIN RESERVOIR SITE <br /> <br />.-.....- <br /> <br />From this point you can see the ,high water line of the reservoir, at an <br />elevation of 6,964 feet. One marker on this side of the basin and two markers <br />that can be seen across the valley mark this high water line. The water <br />surface here would be about 195 feet above your head. <br /> <br />RIDGES BASIN DAM would be located to the east (to the left) in the <br />constricted part of the valley. <br /> <br />Reservoir capacity: 280,040 acre-feet (over 91 billion gallons) <br />Maximum surface area: 2,270 acres <br />3.8 miles long <br />2 miles wide at widest point <br />Fishing: Would be stocked with trout <br />Average annual drawdown: 22 feet <br />occurring from April through September <br />Ridges Basin Dam: Earth-fill <br />313 feet high "_ <br />1,600 feet long at crest <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />Distance to Information Sign 3: 1.5 miles <br />
