<br />I)G23~~ <br /> <br />CHAPTER III <br /> <br />PROJECT DEVELOPMENI' <br />(JWliper Wlit) <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />to serve all the lands between the bench lands and the I,hite and Green <br />Rivers, the Savannah Butte Canal would be constructed to serve the lower <br />lands. This canal would divert surplus flows from the White River and <br />would extend westerly towards the Green River. <br /> <br />Laterals would be provided for the distribution of water to the <br />unit lands. Artificial drains would be required for the gently sloping' <br />bench lands and some valleys where natural drainageways are undeveloped. <br /> <br />Design and construction <br /> <br />Juniper Reservoir <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Juniper Reservoir on the Yampa River would have a capacity of <br />850,000 acre-feet, including 250,000 acre-feet of active capacity, <br />530,000 acre-feet of dead storage below the canal diversion elevation, <br />and 70.000 acre-feet for sediment storage above the dead storage eleva- <br />tion. The reservoir would have a normal water surface elevation of <br />6,102 feet and a dead storage elevation of 6,075 feet. The dam forming <br />the reservoir would be Ii rolled earth-fill structure 165 feet in height <br />above streambed and 620 i'o<t.long at the crest. The outlet works to the <br />Deadman Bench Canal, with a capacity of 1,605 second-feet, would be a <br />concrete-lined conduit through the left abutment. The spillway would <br />be a gated open chute, also located in the left abutment. <br /> <br />Deadman Bench Canal <br /> <br />The Deadman Bench Canal would have an initial capacity of 1,605 <br />second-feet and a terminal capacity of 170 second-feet. It would be <br />154.3 miles in length and would consist of 134 miles of unlined earth <br />section and 20.3 miles of tunnels, bench flumes, lined canal sections, <br />and siphons. <br /> <br />Sunbeam Canal <br /> <br />The Sunbeam Canal would vary in capacity from 95 to 10 second-feet. <br />It would be 37 miles long and, except for 1.1 miles of siphon, would <br />consist of unlined earth section. <br /> <br />Pinyon Canal <br /> <br />The Pinyon Canal would vary in capacity from 50 to 20 second-feet. <br />It would be 7.8 miles in length and would consist entirely of unlined <br />earth section. <br /> <br />. Artesia Regulati!1~ Reservoir <br /> <br />Artesia Regulating Reservoir on a small drainage just south of the <br />town of Artesia, Colo., would have a capacity of 37,100 acre-feet, <br /> <br />43 <br />
