<br />. <br /> <br />~ <br />.~ <br /> <br />Alternative Plan #2 <br />This plan is the same as Alternative 1 except for the location of the <br />brine pipeline which is located on top of Davis Mesa and thence to <br />Radium Reservoir rather than along the valley floor. The location is <br />shown on the map of Alternative No.2. The pipeline location would <br />require three pumping lifts of 1,358 feet, 310 feet, and 502 feet <br />instead of eight in Plan 1. The 1,358 foot pumping lift makes possible the <br />need for only three relift pumping plants. The 1,358 foot pumping lift <br />would require epoxy-lined welded steel pipe instead of reinforced plastic <br />mortor (RPM) pipe as used in Alternative 1. <br /> <br />Approximately 17.4 million kilowatt hours of electrical energy would be <br />required to operate the pumping plants annually. The maximum power demand <br />would be approximately 2,070 kilowatts. <br /> <br />This plan is more expensive than Alternative I, as indicated on the arrayal <br />table, and the exposed high head steel pipeline would be more expensive <br />to maintain and repair as compared to Alternative 1 with all RPM pipe, <br /> <br />Alternative Plan #3 <br />This plan is also the same as Alternative 1, except for the location of <br />the brine pipeline. This alternative has the pipeline located along the <br />bottom of Dry Creek Canyon thence to Radium Reservoir as shown on the map <br />of Alternative Plan No.3. The pipeline location would require five re- <br />lift pumping plants each with a total dynamic head of 326 feet, The <br />reduction from eight relift pumping plants in Alternative 1 to five relift <br />pumping pl~nts in this alternative is due to the pipeline location along <br />Dry Creek Canyon instead of going over the ridge (elev. 7000) out of <br />Paradox Valley. The total pumping head for this alternative is 1,630 feet. <br /> <br />Approximately 12.9 million kilowatt hours of electrical energy annually would <br />be required to operate the five pumping plants. The maximum power demand <br />would be approximately 1,530 kilowatts. <br /> <br />V~D598 <br /> <br />The arrayal of comparative alternatives shows this plan to be the most <br /> <br /> <br />economical of the three alternatives studied which utilize the brine well <br /> <br /> <br />field concept. All relift pumps, except one; would be located adjacent <br />
