<br />The de!lign information for Stage 1 will bt, developed in the definite <br /> <br />plan Itage and '11111 be initiated all 1I00n 4'S possible following appro- <br /> <br />priation of construction fundll. <br /> <br />The feasibility design for the Closed Basin Division contemplates <br /> <br />constructing 136 wells in the area east and north of Alamosa, Colorado, <br /> <br />generally along the thalweg of Saguache Creek as shown on the attached <br /> <br />general :ap, No. 1789. Well fields will be developed in five stages and <br /> <br />individual wells would yield water at rates varying from one-half to <br />3-1!2 cubic feet per second'(ft3!s). We expect that these wells will be <br /> <br />equipped with turbine-type pumps, powered with electric motors. This <br /> <br />will require transmission lines, substati,~ns, and other facilities co <br /> <br />deliver power to the individual well si te,g. <br /> <br />The main conveyance channel will be about 44 miles long beginning at the <br /> <br />east bou~dary of the proposed Mishak Lakes ~ational Wildlife Refuge and <br /> <br />proceed southeasterly, west of San Luis Lake and then south to the Rio <br /> <br />Grande. The main conveyance channel is presently designed with an <br /> <br />initial capacity of 34 ft3!s at the upper end increasing incrcoently in <br /> <br /> <br />Bize to 158 ft3!s near San Luis Lake. The canal at that capacity will <br /> <br />continue to the junction with the East Side Conveyance Channel near U.S. <br /> <br />Highway 160. Below t:1e discharge of the ESCC the Y.ain Conveyance Channel <br />capacity will increase to 210 ft3!s and continue with that capacity to. <br /> <br />the Rio Grande. <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br />j"l ,";,' .'3 (') f) <br />'-.
