A definite plan report <br />was completed in 1976 outlining the remainder of development on Smiths Fork. <br />Construction is underway on Stateline Dam with storage and depletion of <br />4,000 additional acre-feet by 1980 (construction schedule, May 1977). <br /> <br />Cheyenne-Laramie Diversion <br /> <br />This diversion is presently estimated at 8,000 acre-feet with increase of <br />2,000 acre-feet by 1980. Project works can be expanded to export 31,000 <br />acre-feet. <br /> <br />Seedskadee Prciect <br /> <br />(a) National Wildlife Refuge. The project plan allowed 20,000 acre- <br />feet of consumptive use for development of the Seedskadee National Wildlife <br />Refuge. About 6,000 acre-feet development has occurred to date. <br /> <br />(b) ~7oming Contract--1962. By contract of June 14, 1962, the State <br />of wyoming purchased 60,000 acre-feet of capacity in Fontenelle Reservoir. <br />The United States notified the State that the yield from the 60,000 acre- <br />feet capacity would be available on January 1, 1969. The State optioned <br />25,000 acre-feet to Sun Oil Company and 35,000 acre-feet to the Pacific Power <br />and Light Company with 25,000 as firm supply and 10,000 acre-feet when <br />available. <br /> <br />(1) Pacific Power and Light Co. PP&L is presently operating and <br />constructing the Jim Bridger thermal electric plant east of Rock Springs. <br />Four units of 500 MW each are planned with the first unit placed in service <br />in 1974, the second unit in 1975, and the third in 1976. One additional unit <br />is scheduled for operation in 1979. <br /> <br />(2) Sun Oil. This water is optioned until 1978 for possible use <br />by Sun Oil on coal reserves near Rock Springs. We are not aware of specific <br />plans for development before 1980. <br /> <br />A second contract has been negotiated with the State of Wyoming which would <br />yield 125,000 acre-feet additional for Wyoming's use. Also 135,000 acre- <br />feet would be reserved for use of the United States. With 109,000 marketable <br />below the I-80 bridge and also above the Green River Gage. The total market- <br />able yield is estimated at 281,000 acre-feet. <br /> <br />Frojections were made for increased depletions as a part of the Sublette <br />Project Investigations and reported in the advance draft of the Status Report <br />dated July 1977. These depletions incluc.ed municipal, industrial, and fish <br />and wildlife. Figures were projected for 1985 and 2000 for a high and low <br />range. Using the high range figures, estimates were adjusted to 1980, 1990, <br />and 2030 in addition to the year 2000 as given. Until development data, <br /> <br />12 <br />
