The plan of development is <br />primarily to provide supplemental irrigation water to Indian and 000- <br />Indian lands along Lake Fork River and to enhance recreation and fish <br />and Wildlife. while maintaining flood control. The mean annual stream <br />depletion is estimated to be about 10,000 acre-feet. <br /> <br />Central Utah Project (Uintah Unit).--The Unltah Unit of the Central <br />Utah Project will provide a full supply to irrigate 7,800 acres of new <br />lands and supplemental water to other lands on the south slope of the <br />Unita Mountains in the Uinta and Whiterocks Rivers drainage areas. The <br />new annual depletion will he about 30.000 acre-feet. <br /> <br />Deferred Indian Lands.--It is estimated that depletion of 50.000 <br />acre-feet of water for these lands will begin between year 1990 and year <br />2000. Approximately 29.100 acres of new land including the 7,800 acres <br />In the Uintah Unit will receive irrigation. This will result in a net <br />21.300 acres exclusive of the Uintah Unit. <br /> <br />4. <br /> <br /> <br />Between Green River near Greendale. Duchesne River near Randlett. <br />and Green River at Green River, Utah <br /> <br />Hayden-Craig Steamplant.--The addition of new units will require <br />estimated increases of 14,000 acre-feet of water by 1980 and 6,000 acre- <br />feet from 1980 to 1990. It was assumed that the steamplant would <br />return no salt or water. <br /> <br />Cheyenne-Laramie, Wyoming.--The city of Cheyenne diverts water from <br />the Little Snake River to a tributary of the North Platte in exchange <br />for water diverted from Douglas Creek for municipal use by the city of <br />Cheyenne. This transmountain diversion is now using about 7.000 acre- <br />feet and it is estimated that this city and the Laramie area will <br />ultimately deplete the Colorado River by an additional 24.000 acre-feet. <br /> <br />Savery-Pot Hook Project. Colorado-Wyoming.--This project is located <br />in the Little Snake River Basin in southern Wyoming and northwestern <br />Colorado. The authorized project plan calls for construction of an <br />l6,60D-acre-foot-capacity reservoir on Savery Creek and a 60.000-acre- <br />foot-capacity reservoir on Slater Creek. This storage will make possible <br />the irrigation of 14.400 acres of new land and will provide supplemental <br />water for land presently irrigated. Depletion of tbe Little Snake River <br />by the Savery-Pot Hook Project would amount to 22,000 acre-feet annually. <br />Salt loading was determined by a special study made for this project. <br /> <br />Central Utab Project (Jensen Unit).--This unit will be located in <br />Uintah County along the Green River east of Vernal. Storage of water in <br />Tyzack Reservoir on Brush Creek together with pumping from the Green <br /> <br />51 <br />
