<br />OOZM 1 <br /> <br />CIL'Il'TER III <br /> <br />PROJFCT DEVELOPME~n' <br />(Juniper unit) <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />including 29,400 acre-feet of active capacity and 7,700 acre-feet of <br />dead storage. The reservoir would have a normal water surface eleva- <br />tion of 5,880 feet and a dead storage elevation of 5,836 feet. Artesia <br />Dam would be of rolled earth-fill construction. It would rise 108 feet <br />above the drainage channel and would extend 6,670 feet in length at the <br />crest. The outlet Workll with a capacity of 115 second-feet would be <br />located on the west or upstream side of the reservoir. The outlet works <br />would have a total length of 4,390 feet and would consist of an entrance <br />channel, a pressure tunnel, a gate chamber with an access shaft and con- <br />trol gates, and a free-flow tunnel. Spillway works would not be required <br />for the reservoir. <br /> <br />Artesia Canal <br /> <br />Artesia Canal, heading at the end of the outlet tunnel from the <br />Artesia Regulating Reservoir, would vary in capacity from 115 to 50 <br />second-feet. It would be 8.8 miles long and would consist mostly of <br />unlined earth section. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Worisits Canal <br /> <br />The vlonsits Canal would head at an elevation of 4,850 feet on an <br />unnamed channel that drains most of the unit lands on Deadman Bench. <br />The canal would have an initial capacity of 110 second-feet and a ter- <br />minal capacity of 10 second-feet. It would be 14.3 miles long and <br />would consist mostly of unlined earth section. <br /> <br />Savannah Butte Canal <br /> <br />Savannah Butte Canal would vary in capacity from 45 to 10 second- <br />feet and would be about 15.3 miles in length. It would consist almost <br />entirely of unlined earth section. The diversion dam at the head of <br />the canal on the White River would be a concrete weir. <br /> <br />Laterals and Drains <br /> <br />Costs of laterals and drains were estimated from general data on <br />cost5 per acre for serving similar land5 on other projects. The drains <br />are expected to be 5hort, open structures leading to nearby natural <br />water courses. <br /> <br />Construction Considerations <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />No serious geological prOblems are expected to be encountered in <br />construction of the unit dams and canals. The works could be con5tructed <br />in a period of about 4 years. It would be preferab:l.e, however, for <br />the construction of t.he \'ionsit.s and Savannah Butte C~nals to be de- <br />layed until the pattern and quality of return flow from Deadman Bench <br /> <br />44 <br />
