Maverick Draw Site <br /> <br />Pump to Canal AlternatLve <br /> <br />>.""" <br />,i..;:'.;-' <br /><:.~-' <br />,~'. <br /> <br />G <br /> <br />This plan, calls for Maverick Draw, Dam to be lJuilt on 'Maveridc' <br /> <br />Draw 5.3 miles northeast of Norwood. Maverick Draw Reservoir would <br /> <br />have a maximum surface area of 434 acres, and would back up water <br /> <br />from the dam a distance of 3 miles. A diversion dam on the San <br /> <br />Miguel River would funnel project water into a 7,6-mile inlet pipe- <br /> <br />line, which would convey the water down the San Miguel Canyon and <br /> <br />into a 3.4-mile pressure tunnel. The tunnel would extend from the <br /> <br />San Miguel Canyon wall through the divide separating the canyon and <br /> <br />>Maveric1.-, Draw. Water for project uses on Wright's Mesa, in the <br /> <br />Lilylands and Dry Creek Basin, would be pumped from the reservoir <br /> <br />to the head of ? shorter Basin Canal 1.3 miles south of Norwood. The <br /> <br />canal would cross the mesa and continue on to Dry Creek Basin, The <br /> <br />existing irrigation system would be consolidated with the new facilities, <br /> <br />and Gurley Ditch would be rehabilitated. <br /> <br />Under this plan, the San Miguel Project would supply irrigation <br /> <br />water for 12,700 acres of supplemental and 7,060 acres of full service <br /> <br />land. Buried pipe laterals would be constructed to deliver the irriga- <br /> <br />tion water for use by sprinkler systems on project land. Municipal and <br /> <br />industrial water would total 14,000 acre-feet annually, with 12,000 acre- <br /> <br />feet allocated for the proposed Colorado-Ute Association generating plant <br /> <br />and the remaining 2,000 acre-feet for domestic use on Wright's Mesa. <br />
