Total capacity is 49.500 acre-feet. <br /> <br />Yellowstone Feeder Canal conveys water from the East Fork of the Lake Fork <br />to the west branch of Cottonwood Creek. a tributary of the Uinta River. <br />The canal is 22.5 miles long and has a capacity of 88 cubic-feet per <br />second. <br /> <br />Midview Dam and Dike Reservoir is an off stream reservoir with a capacity <br />of 5.800 acre-feet. <br /> <br />Duchesne Feeder Canal conveys Duchesne River water to Midview Reservoir <br />and to lands along the Lake Fork River. The canal is 15 miles long and <br />has a capacity of 200 cfs. <br /> <br />Midview Lateral conveys water from Midview Reservoir to U.S. Dry Gulch <br />Canal for exchange purposes. The lateral is 9 miles long and has a <br />capacity of 80 cfs. <br /> <br />Operation and maintenance of Moon Lake Reservoir and the Yellowstone Feeder <br />Canal and conveyance canals are assumed by the Moon Lake Water Users <br />Association. Operation of the Duchesne Diversion Dam and Feeder Canal and the <br />Midview Reservoir and Lateral are assumed by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. <br /> <br />Through contractual agreements. the Bureau of Reclamation has retained <br />on-going Federal review and approval of annual project operations. Therefore. <br />depletions associated with the project are subject to section 7 consultation. <br /> <br />Strawberrv Valley Proiect <br /> <br />The Strawberry Valley Project provided the first large scale transmpuntain <br />diversion from the Colorado River Basin to the Bonneville Basin in 1922. <br />Water is stored in Strawberry Reservoir on the Strawberry River. a tributary <br />of the Duchesne River. The reservoir also receives water through direct <br />diversions from Indian Creek. Trail Hollow Creek. and historically from <br />Currant Creek. all tributaries of the Strawberry River and hence the Duchesne <br />River. The stored water historically was diverted into the Bonneville Basin <br />through the Strawberry Tunnel under the Wasatch Divide. The water was <br />discharged into Diamond Fork. a tributary of the Spanish Fork River. from <br />which it was delivered for irrigation and power production purposes. The <br />Strawberry Dam spillway had a capacity of 425 cfs to return water to <br />Strawberry River. Reservoir capacity was 283.000 acre-feet. The Strawberry <br />
