<br />The third concept is essentially an alternative to the previously identified <br /> <br />plan for diverting excess Flows from the state of ,~rkansas across northern <br /> <br />Texas into the High Plains. This new concept would divert Arkansas water <br />across Oklahoma into the High Plains (Route 5). Previous studies have identi- <br /> <br />fied potential intrastate routes across Oklahoma.lQ/ <br /> <br />This third concept <br /> <br />generally follows one of those intrastate routes and could easily be modified <br /> <br />to include the transfer of excess eastern Oklahoma water to the western areas <br /> <br />of the State. This concept is discussed in Appendix C. <br /> <br />SELECTION OF ALTERNATIVES FOR CONTINUED STUDY <br /> <br />The six alternatives were presented to the High Plaiqs Study Council with the <br /> <br />recommendat ion tha t the number of a lternat i ve trans Fer rou tes be reduced to <br /> <br />Four. Those recommended were: <br /> <br />a. Route 2 (later called Route A); source, Missouri River at Fort Randall, <br /> <br />South Dakota; route, southwestward through Nebraska to terminal storage at <br /> <br />Bonny Reservoir, Colorado. <br /> <br />b. Route 3 (later called Route D); s()urce" White River at Clarendon, <br /> <br />Arkansas; Mkansas River at Pine Bluff, Arkansas: Ouachita River at Camden, <br /> <br />Arkansas; Red River at Fulton, Arkansas; Sulphur River at Darden, Texas and <br /> <br />Sabi ne Ri ver at Tatum, Texas; route, westward through Texas to termi nal storage <br /> <br />at Bull Lake, near Littlefield, Texas. <br /> <br />c. Route 4 (1 ater called Route B); source, Mi ssouri Ri ver near St. Joseph, <br /> <br />r1issouri; route, southwestward throu9h Kansas to terminal storage on the <br /> <br />Arkansas River near Dodge City, Kansas. <br /> <br />lQ/ Oklahoma \~ater Resources Board.
