<br />(1: <br />~ <br />N <br /> <br />""" <br /> <br />-;~,: <br />i-'-,,~.': <br />.:~~..,. <br /> <br />12. Logging Camp Site -- Large Acreage Alternative <br /> <br />,:t~~ <br /> <br />Logging Camp Dam 'vould be constructed on'the San Higuel River <br /> <br />4.3 miles downstream from the bridge near the bottom of Norwood Hill <br /> <br />on Highway H5. Logging Camp Reservoir would form behind the dam for <br /> <br />a distance of 4.0 miles, and would cover 373 acres at maximum ~ater <br /> <br />surface. No relocations would be necessary, but a two-mile access <br /> <br />road from Wright's Mesa would be built to the dam, and beyond. <br /> <br />A pumping plant located midway along the south side of the res- <br /> <br />ervoir would pump project water 870 feet to Wright I s 11esa, where it <br /> <br />would ,enter Basin Canal 2.5 miles east of Norwood. Basin Canal would <br /> <br />extend from Wright's Mesa across Naturita Canyon to Dry Creek Basin. <br /> <br />The currently existing system of Cone, Gurley, an0 Lilylands Ditches <br /> <br />and Reservoirs would be tied in with the new facilities. Gurley Ditch <br /> <br />~~; <br />".:;. <br /> <br />would be lined to reduce seepage losses. <br /> <br />The Logging Camp Alternative plan of development for the San Miguel <br /> <br />Project would provide irrigation water for 12,700 acres of supplemental <br /> <br />and 7,060 acres of full service farmland on Wright's Mesa, and in the <br /> <br />Lilylands and the Dry Creek Basin. Sprinkler irrigation would be <br /> <br />accommodated through the installation of new buried pipe laterals. <br /> <br />Twelve thousand acre-feet of industrial water would be allocated for <br /> <br />the proposed coal-fired generating plant to be operated by the Colorado- <br /> <br />Ute Electric Association. Another 2,000 acre-feet w.ould be allocated for <br /> <br />domestic use on Wright's Mesa, bringing the annual total of municipal <br /> <br />and industrial water to 14,000 acre-feet for the San Miguel Project. <br /> <br />,'-.' <br /> <br />_ ?':l _ <br />
