Project lands are located <br />on the west side of the Crystal River and the 'outh side of <br />the Colorado River, extending from near Carbondale to <br />DeBeque, Colorado. <br /> <br />~: <br /> <br />The present multi-purpose project plan provi.des for the construction <br />of facilities to supply irrigation water to 24,165 acres of new <br />and 21,265 acres of supplemental service land. Irrigation water <br />for the major portion of the project will be stored in two reser- <br />voirs, Placita Reservoir on the Crystal River and Haystack Reser- <br />voir on Willow Creek. During the irrigation seaso;} water from <br />Placita Reservoir will be conveyed through the Huntsman Conduit <br />to West Divide Creek. West Divide Canal will divert from West <br />Divide Creek to serve the project lands to the west while the <br />East Divide Canal will divert from West Divide Creek to serve <br />the lands to the east. The potential Haystack Reservoir will be <br />used to reduce the capacity of Huntsman Conduit during the peak <br />irrigation season. <br /> <br />The lands in the Carbondale area will be served from the Yank <br />Creek Reservoir. Two canals will supply this area, the Fourmile <br />Canal, diverting from North Thompson Creek below Yank Creek Dam, <br />and the Edgerton c..nal, diverting from Edgerton Creek. <br /> <br />The project will also provide 15,000 acre-feet of water annually <br />for municipal purposes. Storage for this municipal water will <br />be provided in Placita Reservoir and two small reservoirs--one <br />located near Rifle, Colorado, !lnd the second on Morrisania Mesa. <br /> <br />Placita Reservoir will also provide storage for flood control, <br />fishery, reduction in stream polution, and recreation. <br /> <br />COSTS (Final costs are not yet available, tentative costs are as <br />follows) : <br /> <br />Construction Costs <br />Reservoirs <br />Irrigation <br />Placita .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . <br />Haystack . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . <br />Yank Cr eek . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . <br />M&I <br />Grass Mesa <br /> <br />~rrisania . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . <br /> <br />. . $11,250,000 <br />.. 4,450,000 <br />. 6,200,000 <br /> <br />. . <br /> <br />2,291,000 <br />5,400,000 <br /> <br />. . . . <br /> <br />. . . <br /> <br />. . <br /> <br />. . . <br /> <br />. . . . <br />
