<br />~ <br />c <br />.... <br />.... <br /> <br />':. <br /> <br />Proposed Stage II. Stage II would depend on the evaluations and conclusions reached <br />during Stage I. Stage II, as shown on Plate 8, would consist of design and construction of the Eagle- <br />Colorado Reservoir, the Eagle River pumping station, the Ute Creek pumping station, the intake <br />and discharge tunnels and appurtenant structures, and the tunnel between the Ute Creek surge <br />tank and Red Sandstone Creek. Stage II would incorporate all the Board's 1971 appropriations <br />on the Eagle River, producing approximately 70,000 ac-ft per year. <br /> <br />Proposed Stage III. Stage III could be modified by the evaluations made during Stages <br />I and II, but would consist of the continued planning. design and construction of the Colorado River <br />pumping station and discharge tunnel to the Eagle-Colorado Reservoir. The Board's 1971 <br />appropriations on the Colorado River would be integrated and approximately 35,000 ac-ft of <br />water per year would be collected. <br /> <br />Proposed Stage IV. Stage IV should incorporate the Department's remaining 1956 <br />appropriations on the tributaries to Piney River, on Resolution Creek, Homestake Creek, the Upper <br />Eagle River, and Turkey, Lime and Wearyman Creeks. These could be delivered by gravity, as by <br />the Eagle-Piney configuration, or by pumping. The selection of method should be made during <br />Stages II and III and would depend principally upon the costs of power and construction, and legal <br />and environmental factors as well as the potential impact of competing water rights. <br /> <br />Summary. In implementing the operation of the collection system, the water available <br />from each stage could vary depending on the operational policies adopted by the Board.
