The Log <br /> <br />Hill Mesa Canal, diverting from the outlet of Ballas Bivide Reservoir <br /> <br />at elevation 8,300 ft. with an initial capacity of 95 secoRd-feet is <br /> <br />somewhat shorter (9 miles ia leagth) than origiaally planned in our <br /> <br />previous studies. Because of a critical water supply and the loss of <br /> <br />the water supply from Leopard Creek Feeder Canal due to senior water- <br /> <br />right filings by San Miguel project interests, the acreage to be served <br /> <br />under the Log Hill Me.a C..al will be liaited to about 5,134 anr.s of <br /> <br />new and 402 anres of supplemeatal lands. A. porUon of the water stored <br /> <br />ia Ballas Divide Reservoir would also be released d... Pleasant Valley <br /> <br />Creek and rediverted through the poteatial Pleasant Valley Caaal to <br /> <br />suppl_llt the water sllpply for the presently irriaated lands in tae <br /> <br />Pleasant Valley and Dallas-Creek areas. <br /> <br />A. n_ber of plans were analysed to determine the most feasible _ans <br /> <br />ef serving lands ia the l..er portion of the Log Hill Mesa area and <br /> <br />lands aloal the Vacampahgre River below the potential Ridgway Reservoir. <br /> <br />The DIOSt favorable pla.s studie. involved Ridpay Iteservoir aad pumpiaa <br /> <br />to Log Hill Mesa. Study variatioaa ia these plaDS were as follows: <br /> <br />(1) the use of a terminal storage under the potential McKensie Canal <br /> <br />so that hydraulic pumping could be fitted more closely with the <br /> <br />patterns of dGWRstream releasesl (2) a combiaation hydraulic aa' elec- <br /> <br />tric pump, the electric 1'''' being .sed to supplema.t the hydraulic p.-p <br /> <br />and accomplishing the same purpose as terminal storagel (3) substituting <br /> <br />electrical pumping for hydraulic pumping; and (4) construction of <br /> <br />a feeder caaal from Cow Creek to the reservoir.
