This hydroelectric developrr,ent will <br />ut il ize two reservoirs to be located on the Yampa River west of Craig, <br />Colorado. l-lost of the consumptive use is expected to be reservoir evapo- <br />ration. The State of Colorado estimates that depletions could reach ~O,OOO <br />acre-feet (62 x 106m3) by 1990 and 75,000 acre-feet (~3 x 106m3) by <br />2000 for hydroelectric development. Water and Power I<esources Service <br />estimates 30,000 acre-feet (37 x 106m3) depletions by 2000. <br /> <br />4. Above Duchesne River near Randlett, Utah <br /> <br />Central Utah Project (Bonneville Unit). The Bonneville Unit will <br />include a transmountain diversion of water from the headwaters of the <br />Duchesne River in the Uinta Basin portion of the Colorado River hasin to <br />the Bonneville Basin. The project will rleve10p water for irrigation, <br />municipal and industrial use, and pO\lCr production. It will also provide <br />benefits to recreation, fish and wildlife, flood control, water quality <br />control, and area redevelopment. <br /> <br />The total <br />(205 x 106m3) <br />in 1918. <br /> <br />deplet ion to the Green Kiver wi II <br />with about 31,000 acre-feet (3b x <br /> <br />be 166,000 acre-feet <br />lU6m:!) being depleted <br /> <br />Central Utah Project (Upalco Unit>. The Upalco Unit wi II be located <br />in Duchesne County near I<oosevelt, Utah. The plan of development 1S <br />primarily to provide supplemental irrigation water to lndian and 000- <br />Indian lands along Lake Fork River and to enhance recreation and fish and <br />wildlife, while maintaining flood control. The mean annual stream deple- <br />tion is estimated to be about 12,000 acre-feet (15 x 106m:!). <br /> <br />Central Utah Project (Uintah Unit). The Uintah Unit of the Central <br />Utah Project will provide a full supply to irri~ate 7,800 acres (3 200 ha) <br />of ilew lands and supplemental water to other lands on the south slope. of <br />the Uinta r~ountains in the Uinta and Whiterocks H.ivers draic.c..ge areas. <br />The new annual depletion will be about 28,000 acre-feet (35 x 106,.3). <br /> <br />Deferred Indian Lands. It is estimated that depletion of 50,000 <br />acre-feet (62 x 106m'>) of water for these lands will begin between the <br />year 1980 and 2000. Approximately 29,100 acres (11 800 ha) of new land <br />including the 7,800 acres (3200 ha) in the Uintah Unit will receive <br />irrigation. Thi" will reault in a net 21,300 acres (B600 ha) exclusive <br />of the Uintah Unit. <br /> <br />5. Above the White River near WatsonJ Utah <br /> <br />Oil Shale Development. It is estimated that oil shale development <br />would require 78,000 acre-feet (96 x 106m3) in Colorado by 1990 alld <br />50,000 acre-feet (62 x 106m3) in Utah by 2000. It was also estimated <br />that the heavy use of water would not occur until about the mid-19bO'sJ and <br />by 2000 the 128,OuO acre-feet (158 x 106m3) would be required. <br /> <br />49 <br />
