\ . UULiJ~l EAGlE-PINE'{ COUECTIorI SYSTEN MID EIl,GLE COIDHAIXI COllECTIOi'I S'fSTIN The E24e-Pi~ey Collection System, looated in Eagle Cm,mty, is plallned by the DHD to divert \'laters fran both the :E:agle and Piney Rivers Md a number of the.ir tributaries and to convey the \'Jaters by a g-~2.vity f1m-[ SYSte..'11 under Vail Pass for delivery to Dillon Rese~foir. The Ea~e-Cclocado Collection SystG~, also located in Eagle COlmty, is planned by the D\VD to pump llaters frem the Eagle River near \-1olcott and from the Colcrado River near State Bridge. These i'laters vlould be stored in the Eagle-Colorado Reser- voir on All,ali Creek and then pumped into the Sagle-Finey system for deliverJ to Dillon Reservoir, Pro,iect Altel'"m,tives - Project configuration alternatives identified to date center arJund the use of both of the above projects, various ccobinations of exh, or the use of only an increased capacity Eagle-Colerado system. vlIILIPHS FDRK COllECTION SYSTIN '!his project, lecated in Grand COllllty, consists of the ccmpletion of the DHD'l gravity collection system in upper Williams Fork i'latershed, The project \-!Ould extend to the south and west from the Gumliok Tunnel to ferm the middle and south sectors. In addition, the project would E..xtend fl"em the Gumlick Tunnel to the north to canplete the north sector of the system. The I'laters collected fre!:] the various branches of the upper llilliams Fork River i!Ould then be conveyed by gravity fl01'1 facilities to the G\lrrl~ick Turmel Md then throut;ll the Vasquez Tunnel to the r,loffat Tunnel for delivery into Gross Reservoir. Pro,ject Alternatives - Project configuration alternatives identified to date center arolllld the use of pumping facilities to pump \ffiters dO','iI1stream from the south and middle sectors of the project. The Cllilal right-of-way for these sectors lies within a roadless area desibllated for further study as Hilderness potential by the U.S. Forest Service. The right-of-way is currently in liti('i'l.tion. TwO FORKS RESERVOIR Thi" project, located just belm" the confluence of the North fork of the Scuth Platte River 'Qth the South Platte River, lies in Jefferson and Dcuc)as Counties. The project is plarmE:d by the D\-II) to regulate the flo\"ls of the Seuth Platte River, as well as to regulate deliveries thrCugll the Reberts Tunnel. The reservoir ,,,ould contain approximately 260,000 acre-feet of storage capacity. 5
