<br />PLAN FORMULATION

<br />Irrigation water would be supplied to about 11,940 acres of land
<br />as shown below.

<br />Project plan
<br />
<br />Milk Creek Segment
<br />
<br />Water supply for all project purposes in the Milk Creek Segment
<br />would be stored in Thornburgh Reservoir and released directly to the
<br />stream. Water for coal industry use would be available at any point
<br />downstream depending on future coal company plans. Irrigation water
<br />would be diverted to the Milk Creek Canal by the Milk Creek Diversion
<br />Dam about 4.5 miles downstream from the reservoir. Recreation facili-
<br />ties would be provided at Thornburgh Reservoir.
<br />
<br />The Milk Creek Canal would flow northwesterly from the diversion
<br />dam to serve lands west of Milk Creek. A turnout would be provided to
<br />the lIes Lateral, which would flow northeasterly to supply water to lands
<br />east of Milk Creek.
<br />
<br />White River Segment
<br />
<br />Water for the White River Segment would be provided by both storage
<br />and direct flows from White River. Lake Avery would be enlarged to pro-
<br />vide storage. Diversion dams would be constructed on the North Fork and
<br />on the lower mains tern of the White River.
<br />
<br />The storage water and part of the direct flow water would be di-
<br />verted from the North Fork by the North Fork Diversion Dam about a
<br />quarter mile above the mouth of Fawn Creek. The White River Feeder
<br />Conduit would carry the water westward from the point of diversion on
<br />North Fork. The alignment would parallel North Fork for several miles
<br />before crossing Big Beaver Valley upstream from Lake Avery and passing
<br />through Oak Ridge to the Little Beaver Valley. The portion through Oak
<br />Ridge would be a tunnel.
<br />
<br />Minimum streamflows, as discussed in Chapter III, would be bypassed
<br />to North Fork at the diversion dam. When available, all project water
<br />for the Little Beaver service area would be by direct flow through the
<br />conduit. At such times as the flow of North Fork exceeds the minimum
<br />
