<br />Goshen Bay and Provo Bay will <br />be separated from Utah Lake by <br />dikes to reduce evapo-transpira- <br />tion losses. Project water collec- <br />ted in Utah Lake will be exchang- <br />ed upstream on the Provo River <br />and be stored in the 320,000 acre <br />foot capacity Jordanelle Reser- <br />voir to be constructed 6 miles <br />north of Heber City. A portion <br />of the water from Jordanelle Res. <br />ervoir will be used for irrigation <br />in the Summit County and Heber <br />City area. The rest will be used <br />for municipal and industrial pur- <br />poses in northern Utah and Salt <br />Lake Counties. Distribution of <br />the municipal and industrial wa- <br />ter will be by the Jordan and Al- <br />pine Aqueduct Systems. <br /> <br />Lampton Reservoir will be con. <br />structed on the Jordan River in <br />Salt Lake County to provide in. <br />dustrial water and recreation. <br /> <br />','1 <br />-.J- w" <br />::~_.........-' ~_. . - ~:.\\ <br />(:"-:-',. . ,-- '\" <br />, ..1 .i;i ..

Inves- <br />tigations to date have explored <br />many alternatives for develop- <br />ment of Utah's remaining share <br />of the Colorado River water, yet <br />the plan has not been completed <br />and formulation remains a diffi- <br />cult and time consuming process, <br />Recent energy needs have placed <br />new emphasis on possible use of <br />water resources for coal and oil <br />shale development. As needs in- <br />crease beyond the readily avail- <br />able water supply, competition <br />among users will intensify and the <br />priorities wilt become more diffi- <br />cult to define. <br /> <br />Adoption of the Water Resources <br />Council's Guidelines for Imple- <br />menting Principles and Standards <br /> <br />for Multiobjective Planning of <br />Water Resources in 1973 requires <br />that the Ute Indian Unit be for- <br />mulated and evaluated in accord- <br />ance with these new planning pro- <br />cedures. The Bureau has assumed <br />the leadership of planning the <br />Ute Indian Unit, with the con- <br />currence of the Division of Water <br />Resources who is responsible for <br />all state water resource planning <br />on federal projects, and a multi- <br />objective planning (MOP) team <br />of specialists. Among the MOP <br />team members are representa. <br />tivesof interested State and Fed- <br />eral planning agencies, the Ute <br />Indian Tribe and the public. Due <br />consideration wi II be given to <br />prior commitments, economic <br />justification, repayment capabil- <br />ities and other requirements im- <br />posed on all proposals. Alterna- <br />tive sources of water, such as <br />weather modification, and water <br />saving practices will be fully ex- <br />plored and evaluated. <br />
