<br />002"3'5'5' <br /> <br />CHAPTER III <br /> <br />PROJECT DEVELOR-lENT <br />(Yellow Jacket unit) <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />north side of the river and across the east end of the Yellow Jacket area <br />to the Milk Creek drainage. The canal would have an initial capRcity of <br />660 second-feet and a terminal capacity of 275 second-feet. It would <br />consist primarily of earth section but would include same concrete-lined <br />sections, siphons, and tunnels. The canal would be located on side hills <br />with the cross slopes ranging from 15 to 60 percent. Vegetation along <br />the canal line consists primarily of oak brush, and clearing costs would <br />be moderate. <br /> <br />Near its head the Yellow Jacket Canal would be joined by a feeder <br />canal from Ute Creek. The feeder canal would be 1.1 miles long and would <br />have a capacity of 100 second-feet. <br /> <br />Diversion dams would be constructed on the White River at the head <br />of the Yel10w Jacket Canal and on Ute Creek at the head of the feeder <br />canal. Both dams would be rock-fill structures. <br /> <br />Josephine Basin CaLal <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The Josephine Basin Canal would heed at a diversion dam on Little <br />Beaver Creek at elevation 6,535 feet. It would extend westerly along <br />the south side of the Little Beaver drainage for 13.92 miles, cross the <br />White River in <l. high head siphon 0.57 mile in length, and then extend <br />westerly for 30.89 miles en the south side of the White River. The la.tter <br />section would include a 6-foot diameter tunnel, 0.83 mile in length, at <br />the Grand Hogback. <br /> <br />The canal would be located on side hills with cross slopes ranging <br />from 5 to 60 percent. It would consist mostly of earth section but would <br />include the tunnel through the Grand Hogback, steel and concrete siphons, <br />and bench flumes. The canal would have an initial ca.pRci.ty of 185 <br />second-feet and a terminal capacity of 10 second-feet. <br /> <br />Coal Creek Canal <br /> <br />The Coal Creek Car.al would head at a diversion dam on Coal Creek at <br />elevation 6,890 feet and would extend for 12 miles along the north side <br />of the Yellow Jacket area. The canal would have an initial capacity of <br />80 second-feet end a terminal capacity of 10 second-feet. The Bide hill <br />croes slopes ra~ge from 5 to 70 percent and average about 30 percent. <br />The canal would include a short concrete siphon and bench flume. The <br />re~nder would be of earth section. <br /> <br />Axial Canal <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The Axial Canal would head at a diversion dam on Milk Creek at <br />elevation 6,542 feet and would extend in a northwestern direction for a <br />distance of about 38 miles. It would have an initial capacity of 315 <br /> <br />58 <br />
