B-6 II Data from Colorado State Water 21 First diversion 1967. 1,707,000 l/40,000 acre-feet l/15,OOO acre-feet ~/26,OOO acre-feet 2,000 acre-feet 4,000 acre-feet 1,794,000 acre-feet Plan. Agricultural Municipal and industrial Homestake Tunnel Ruedi Reservoir Evaporation Bostwick Park Project Fryingpan-Arkansas Project Project works used for storage and transmountain diversion (Boustead Tunnel) are completed. Capability exists for diversion of the full 69,200 acre-feet average diversion authorized by the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project Act, Public Law 87-590, August 16, 1962. ActUBl diversion in 1980 was 56,000. acre-feet. Full capability for use for the average diversion will occur by 1990. Ruedi Reservoir No consumptive uses are presently being made from Ruedi Reservoir except reservoir evaporation which is already included in the "Present" total. Operation studies indicate 48,000 acre-feet would be available as yield of the reservoir for consumptive use. It is estimated uses would begin by 1990 and the reservoir fully utilized by 2010. These uses would likely be for industry. Animas-La Plata Project A feasibility report was prepared in 1962 and the project was authorized by Public Law 90-537, September 30, 1968. A definite plan report was approved in August, 1980. The plan provides for large amounts of water for irrigation, municipal and industrial use, and totals 154,800 acre-feet depletion; Colorado - 120,700 acre-feet, New Mexico - 34,100 acre-feet. Construction will not likely start before fiscal year 1983. Depletions will not begin until the latter part of the 1980's when Ridges Basin Reservoir is completed. It is estimated that only reservoir evaporation from Ridges Basin will occur as a depletion by 1990 as other project works will not be completed. Uses will build up rapidly as other project facilities are constructed. Dallas Creek Project The project was authorized by Public Law 90-537 on September 30, 1968. A definite plan report was completed in November 1976 which indicated a total depletion of 17,000 acre-feet with the water being used for agricultural and municipal and industrial purposes. Estimated depletions are 5,100 acre-feet for irrigstion, 10,000 acre-feet for municipal and industrial uses, and 1,600 acre-feet for reservoir evaporation. The control schedule of April IS, 1981, shows initial storage and service will occur at end of 1985. Distribution facilities now exist for use of the project water. It is estimated that the combination of reservoir evaporation, irrigation use, and municipal and industrial use will deplete about 12,000 acre-feet by 1990 with the remainder by 2000.
