<br />. .' <br /> <br />with conflicting interests. Officials. snd other knowledgeable sources <br /> <br />were consulted to identify those entities that would be involved in <br /> <br />project implementation, and their likely roles; to identify permitting <br /> <br />requirements, regulatory constrsints, and points of required agreement <br /> <br />and cooperation; and to evaluate the-likelihood of project constraints, <br /> <br />delays, or increased costs as a consequence of institutional factors. <br /> <br />SUMMARY OF WATER SUPPLY SOURCES <br /> <br />The following presents a summary of findings resulting from the <br /> <br />above-described analyses. The findings are summarized in table I, <br /> <br />which sppears at the end of this fact sheet. <br /> <br />STRAIGHT CREEK COLLECTION SYSTEM <br />The Straight Creek collection system would divert Straight Creek <br />water from May through September and transport the water by pipeline to <br />Dillon Reservoir. The Denver Water Department (DWD) would release the <br />diverted water through Roberts Tunnel into the North Fork of the South <br />Platte River to meet water demands in the Denver metropolitan area. <br />This project would be located in Summit County and would utilize an <br />existing diversion dam on Straight Creek. The proposed system would <br />consist of an enclosed conveyance conduit from Straight Creek to Dillon <br />Reservoir. The project would be within the alignment of the Oro Grande <br />No. 2 Canal, cross and run parallel to U.S. Highway 6, and discharge <br />into Dillon Reservoir. The outlet would be located below the normal <br />maximum reservoir level. <br /> <br />The Straight Creek collection system could develop new yield by <br /> <br />operating with Williams Fork Reservoir or with the Joint Use Reservoir. <br /> <br /> <br />The primary requirement is that necessary releases are available to <br /> <br />satisfy d6wnstream senior water right calls. <br /> <br />II <br />
