<br />'<:" <br />l'- <br />-' <br /> <br />industrial water supply. The 39,000 acre-feet of industrial water is <br />routed through the hydroelectric powerplant. <br /> <br />Ac.ter:1"tive 1 - This is the base plan developed to meet OMB's request <br />cxc2:pt tlie l:ydraulic turbine and pump have been moved upstream, as <br />suggested by Conservancy Board Members during the July 19, 1973 meeting. <br />Water is lifted to Wright's Mesa at a higher elevation than in the <br />original base plan. A maximum of 570 cfs is diverted into a 102 inch <br />diameter pipeline just below the mouth of Beaver Creek and supplies head <br />to the hydraulic turbine. Water is pumped to Wright's Mesa and conveyed <br />by Wright's Mesa Canal to an elevation higher than the Norwood Tunnel <br />outlet of the Feasibility Plan, which facilitates the water exchange with <br />Cone and Gurley Reservoirs in expanding and supplementing irrigation in <br />the Norwood-Redvale area. Maverick Draw Dam and Reservoir is used to <br />provide carryover storage. <br /> <br />Alternative 2 - Expansion of the base hydraulic pumping plan in Alternative <br />1 is made by the addition of storage on the San Miguel River. In this plan <br />Saltado Dam and Reservoir at a total capacity of 18,000 acre-feet is used. <br />(Telluride and Sunshine Damsites were considered but geological investiga- <br />tions have shown both sites to be infeasible.) Industrial water in the <br />amount of 39,000 acre-feet per year is provided for downstream coal <br />development from Saltado Reservoir. <br /> <br />~ <br />" <br /> <br />, <br />
