At the <br />acre-feet annually. Most <br />from May through July. <br /> <br />state line the White River averages about 503,000 <br />, <br />of the water is derived from snowmelt and, occurs <br /> <br />The YJWCD owns conditional storage and direct flow water rights on the North <br />Fork that have an adjudication date of 1966 and an appropriation date of <br />1953. These rights were assumed to have an annual, depletion of 80,000 <br />acre-feet per year and a yield of 87,500 acre-feet. <br /> <br />Water Demands <br />T~e Yellow Jacket, Project was: assumed to providF- water for agriculture, <br />industry (coal and oil shale), and the municipal an~ domestic needs of the <br />Meeker area. Based on responses to questionnaires and interviews involving <br />these potent i a 1 water users, water de 1 i very req4 i rements were est imated. <br />Eighteen thousand acre-feet of water for irrigation would be del ivered to <br />approx imate ly 8000 acres of land in the Litt 1 e Beaver and Coa 1 Creek <br />Basins. Five thousand acre-feet would be available in the White River for <br />di vers i on for mun i ci'pa 1 and damest ic water users in the Meeker, area. Coa 1 <br />interests northeast of Meeker would be provided 12,000 acre-feet. The <br />remalnlng 52,500 acre-feet ,would be provided for the oil shale interests in <br />the Pi ceance and Ye 11 ow Creek Bas i ns. ,The above demands wou 1 d resu lt in an <br />annual depletion to the White River of approximately 80,000 acre-feet. <br /> <br />Formulation, of Alternative Plans <br />The initial conceptual plans included 16 separate reservoir sites and <br />numerous collection and delivery systems. Single and multiple reservoir <br />systems were considered. After a technical review of each conceptual plan, <br />eight were selected to undergo further evaluation. This evaluation included <br /> <br />ES-2 <br />
