<br />from Fontenelle Reservoir. Existing and projected uses of water under these <br />contracts are discussed below under industrial uses. The projections assume <br />that uses will be determined by needs and not by a limitation in reservoir <br />yield. <br /> <br />~ <br />-J <br />-J <br />r0 <br /> <br />The Seedskadee project provided for the development of the <br />Seedskadee National Wildlife Refuge located on the Green River below the dam. <br />In 1985, about 6,000 acre-feet were diverted from the river and used to <br />maintain numerous ponds within the refuge. It is estimated that when the <br />refuge is fully developed, 20,000 acre-feet per year of depletion will result. <br /> <br />c. Lyman project <br /> <br />Lyman Project provides supplemental irrigation water for users <br />in the Smith Fork and Blacks Fork areas. In 1985, the project was essentially <br />complete, and depletion of project water is estimated to average 10,300 <br />acre-feet annually. <br /> <br />d. Savery-Pot Hook project <br /> <br />Thi~ project was authorized as a participating project of the <br />Colorado River Storage project by Public Law 88-568. The Definite Plan Report <br />dated May 1977 identified a plan which would result in 11,900 acre-feet and <br />10,500 acre-feet of depletions annually in Colorado and Wyoming, respectively. <br />The President's Water Project Review in 1977 resulted in reduced funding for <br />the project, and no construction funding has been provided. The project has <br />not been deauthorized and is considered on a deferred status until funding is <br />provided. For planning purposes an administrative decision was made by the <br />Bureau of Reclamation to show depletions deferred until after 2030. <br /> <br />e. La Barge Project <br /> <br />The La Barge project was authorized as a participating project <br />under Public Law 84-485, the Colorado River Storage project Act. A Definite <br />plan Report was completed in June 1961. It was estimated that consumptive use <br />would be 3,700 acre-feet (rounded to 4,000). Project construction has not <br />begun and no immediate plans are contemplated. The project has not been <br />deauthorized and is considered on deferred status until funding is provided. <br />For planning purposes an administrative decision was made by the Bureau of <br />Reclamation to show depletions deferred until after 2030. <br /> <br />f. Transmountain Diversions <br /> <br />Three diversions presently export water out of the Colorado <br />River Basin in wyoming. The total transmountain diversions for 1985 was <br />estimated to be 11,000 acre-feet. <br /> <br />(1) <br /> <br />Ranger Ditch <br /> <br />delivery to Willow <br />1974 indicate that <br />believed that this <br /> <br />Ranger Ditch diverts water from North Savery Creek for <br />Creek in the North Platte River Basin. Estimates made in <br />annual deliveries average about 500 acre-feet, and it is <br />figure remains unchanged. <br /> <br />vl-6 <br /> <br />- <br />
