<br />0017J2 <br /> <br />\'Ianaco DiversiQ.!!. <br /> <br />Near the Riversine siding of the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad, <br /> <br />a diversion oam 'lOuld be bull t ".cross the Arkane,as River to pick up <br /> <br /> <br />the clivertible flow of the river at that point. The concrete dBlll <br /> <br /> <br />"ection >Iould be an ogee spction 10 feet high with a length of 300 <br /> <br /> <br />fcet. A 300-foot earth dike would be constructed on each end of the <br /> <br />conc~ete section. <br /> <br />The dam wo~d divert water into a canal of 600 sp.cond-foot <br />capacity which would carry it southward a dist.ance of 0.4 miles to <br />join the \ie,:!Oaco-Princeton Canal at a point directly below the Wapaco <br />Powerplant. <br />The estimated cost of the diversion dam and t.he canal is <br /> <br />$208,000. <br /> <br />Wanaco~rinceton Power Canal <br /> <br />Prom the We;paco Po"'''rple.nt a 50 percent earth-lined canal would <br />convey the water in a southerly direction a distance of 16 miles to <br /> <br /> <br />the ~rinceton Powerpl~,nt on Chalk Creek. The canal would have a <br /> <br /> <br />capacity of 60c oecond-feet until it reached a point ubout half mile <br /> <br /> <br />above the Princeton Plant where a 500 aCl'e-foot fo!"eba,y would be <br /> <br /> <br />constructed, to store water to be used for peaking at the po.!erplant. <br /> <br /> <br />From the forebay to thp. powerplant the canal would, have a capacity of <br /> <br /> <br />750 second-feet. The entire section of the Wapaco-Princeton Canal <br /> <br /> <br />would be in open cut except for a 600-foot length of siphon across <br /> <br /> <br />Cottonwood Creek. <br /> <br /> <br />The estimated cost of the liapaco-PrincetcD. Power Canal, including <br /> <br />$536,000 for the forebay, is $1,902,000. <br />45 <br />
