The Little Snake River Conservation District has <br />expressed interest in becoming a joint applicant in the project to increase its size and serve lands in <br />Wyoming. Under a Willow Creek reservoir, approximately 1000 acres would be served. The depletion <br />associated with this use would amount to 1,660 acre-feet. <br /> <br />Cotronwood Creek <br /> <br />The Little Snake River Conservation District has indicated that a project is being considered that would <br />have its source of supply water from Cottonwood Creek, tributary to the Little Snake River north of <br />Dixon, WY. The project, anticipated to be brought before the Wyoming Water Development <br />Commission in the fall of 2000, would add 500 acres of irrigation. The depletion associated with this <br />use would amount to 830 acre-feet. <br /> <br />Grieve Reservoir <br /> <br />Grieve Reservoir, which washed out in the summer of 1984, is being considered for rehabilitation and <br />enlargement. This reservoir, if enlarged, is anticipated to serve 300 acres in addition to the original <br />grounds irrigated from the pre-existing structure. The depletion associated with this use would amount <br />to 500 acre-feet. <br /> <br />Muddy Creek <br /> <br />The Muddy Creek Watershed is a candidate for diversions to irrigate up to 1,200 acres of pasture in the <br />lower reaches north of Baggs, WY. At 1.77 feet of consumptive irrigation requirement, this project <br />would result in depletions amounting to 2,100 acre-feet. <br /> <br />Focus Rallch <br /> <br />The Focus Ranch property has a need for supplemental irrigation for 200 acres. The source for this <br />water, likely from storage, is the Roaring Fork near the National Forest boundary. At 0.5 acre-foot per <br />acre supplemental need, this project would result in a depletion of 100 acre-feet. <br /> <br />Porhook - Beaver Ditch <br /> <br />The Little Snake River Conservation District has indicated that a project totaling approximately 400 <br />acres could be brought into production near the confluence of Savery Creek and the Little Snake River. <br />These lands may once have been considered to be served by the Beaver Ditch under an earlier study by N. <br />the USBR as part of the Savery-Pothook project. At 1.77 feet per acre of consumptive irrigation ~ <br />requirement, this project would result in depletions amounting to 700 acre-feet. r <br /> <br />The sum total of projected depletions for the additional agricultural projects listed above is 10,546 acre- <br />feet annually. <br /> <br />Appendix C - Technical Memoranda from Colorado and Wyoming <br /> <br />C-IO <br />
