<br />. <br /> <br />The Weber site is OD a small iry tributary of West MAncos <br /> <br />River near the summit between Middle and West Mancos Rivers, <br /> <br />in the Mancos shale foro8tion, with favorable geological condi- <br /> <br />tions for a tight reservoir and a safe dam of the earth fill type. <br /> <br />Stored water WDuld be diverted by canels fram East and Middle <br /> <br />Wancos Rivers which together produce about one-third of the total <br /> <br />flow of the system. Four niles of very expensive canal construc- <br /> <br />tion would be needed to divert water froD West Mancos River to <br /> <br />this site. <br /> <br />The J~ckson Gulch reservoir site lie3 high above and <br /> <br />about a mile west of West Mancos River in Dakota sandstone And the <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />overlying Mancos shale form~tions with geological conditions <br /> <br />favorable for a tight reservoir and a safe darl of the earth fill <br /> <br />type. Stored water would be diverted frOM West l~ncos River which <br /> <br />produc8s, at the point of diversion, nearly two-thirds of the flow <br /> <br />of Mancos River at the gaging station. A short diversi8D canal <br /> <br />to the resorvoir ,md another shr,rt cClnel fran the reservoir to <br /> <br />West Mnncos River would corcplete this plan. <br /> <br />.\ <br />" '3 ~ () <br />l-. . <br /> <br />c <br /> <br />. <br />
