Construction would not bG costly unless it developed <br /> <br />that Spring Gulch had to be protGctod c.gainst erosion. <br /> <br />In gGnerccl, years of spill .}.re coincident on tho two <br /> <br />streams indicating little use for such Nater on Pine River. In <br /> <br />occasional years, however, surplus water from Florida Hi ver v10uld <br /> <br />assist in filling tho Vallocito ResGrvoir. <br /> <br />tIl~~ <br />~ <br /> <br />The spill from the reservoir shown in Table 9 is also <br /> <br />the quantity divertible to Pine River from Florida River, being <br /> <br />in excess of all irrigation delllEnd on the Intter stream except as <br /> <br />Florida project irrigators would likely decide to make more liberD.l <br /> <br />use of stream flow in such years, than contemplated by the adopted <br /> <br />diversion demand. <br /> <br />PROJECT PLAN <br /> <br />The ditches already functioning will with minor exten- <br /> <br />sions cover all tho land in the project. No enlargements should be <br /> <br />needed for supplying supplement~l.l water, but (illY enlargements or <br /> <br />extensions could be m~de by the landowners, who would prefer to do <br /> <br />this work. The project pl:m involves only the construction of a <br /> <br />reservoir. <br /> <br />46 <br />
