<br />(C <br />an <br /> <br />-, <br />... <br /> <br />7. Site #3, Pump From Tunnel Alternative <br /> <br />;,,;:1'; <br />:"" <br />,-~.! <br /> <br />This alternative calls for the construction of Saltado Dam on, <br /> <br />the San Miguel River 2.6 miles downstream of the junction of Highways <br /> <br />145 and 62. Saltado Reservoir would cover 395 acres, and would extend <br /> <br />upstream 3.1 miles. ,The part of "Old" Placerville below the junction <br /> <br />of Highways 145 and 62 would have to be relocated, and Highway 145 <br /> <br />would have to be moved a total of 3.5 miles. <br /> <br />The water would flow through a 12.5 mile tunnel to Wright's Mesa, <br /> <br />where it would be pumped 320 feet to Basin Canal. This canal would <br /> <br />cross Wright's Mesa and continue on into Dry Creek Basin. The existing <br /> <br />water collection and delivery system would be tied in with the new <br /> <br />facilities to form the overall San Miguel Project system. One of the <br /> <br />main features of that existing system, Gurley Canal, would be lined <br /> <br />to prevent seepage losses. <br /> <br />. :~~~~ <br />:i;'.\.) <br /> <br />Under this plan, the San Miguel Project would supply irrigation <br /> <br />water for 12,700 acres of SUpplemental service land, with another <br /> <br />7,060 acres of full service land also receiving project water. <br /> <br />Municipal and industrial water would total 14,000 acre-feet annually, <br /> <br />with 12,000 acre-feet allocated for the proposed Colorado-Ute Electric <br /> <br />Association generating'plant and the remaining 2,000 acre-feet for <br /> <br />domestic use on Wright's Mesa. <br /> <br />....' <br /> <br />- 13'- <br />
