SYNOPSIS communities would be constructed and financed by local interests. The existing municipal distribution system in the Vernal area would be used to distribute the additional municipal water. Necessary extensions would be constructed by local interests. In the Bonneville Basin muni- cipal water would be delivered at turnouts from principal project works. Additional facilities for treatment and distribution of the water would be provided by the water users. Transmission lines for delivery of project power would be construc- ted to Salt Lake City on the north and to Manti on the south. Facilit~es would be constructed for development of fish and wildlife, recreation, and forest resources in general as recommended in accompanying reports of the Fish and Wildlife, National Park, and Forest Services. Construction Schedule Initial phase works would be constructed in steps extending over a period of about 16 years. Thus irrigation development would be under- taken at different times in 13 areas or blocks. First features con- structed would include the portion of the Strawberry aqueduct from the West Fork of the Duchesne River to the Strawberry Reservoir. The initial program also would include construction of the Vat, Currant Creek, Bates, Hobble Cret;k, Round Knoll, Front, Upalco, and Stanaker Dams, enlargement of the Strawberry tunnel, construction of the Old West power plant, and improvement of the Jordan River channel. Construction WQlld next be undertaken on the Soldier Creek, Starvation, Upper Stillwater, and Hanna Dams, the Strawberry aqueduct from the West Fork of the Duchesne River to Rock Creek, initial portions of the Wasatch aqueduct, Starvation Feeder Canal, Sixth Water aqueduct, Hamnock power plant, and transmission lines. Last initial phase features to be constructed would be the Castilla and Tanner power plants, Tanner Diversion Dam, Mona-Nephi Canal, Monks Hollow and Mona Dams, Goosenest ReservOir, Provo Bay Developnent, and Elberta Service Pipe and Canal. Effect on Existing Facilities The operation of various existing facilities would require modifi- cation for correlation with the construction and operation of works planned for the Central Utah project. Among the principal features in the Bonneville Basin affected by the initial phase would be the Straw- berry Reservoir outlet tunnel, canals, and power plants of the Strawberry Valley project; Deer Creek Reservoir, Provo Reservoir Canal, and Salt Lake aqueduct of the Provo River project; Utah Lake; and Mona Reservoir. Principal facilities in the Uinta Basin similarly affected would include Strawberry Reservoir of the Strawberry Valley project, Moon LaJc,e and Midview Reservoirs and canals of the Moon Lake project, works of the 10
