Fischer <br />Colorado River Water Conservation District <br />Kenneth Kenney , <br />Water Users Association # 1 <br /> <br />From: Western Engineers, Inc. <br /> <br />Re: Reference to water supply in draft environmental impact <br />statement-Noon Lake Power Plant-Units 1 and 2 by Bureau <br />of Land Management and Rural Electrification Adminis- <br />tration. <br /> <br />Note: Unless otherwise specified the figures and other infor- <br />mation in the text below were taken from the draft EIS. <br /> <br />oeseret's Preference <br />The proposed power plant is to be constructed by the Deseret <br />Generation and Transmission Cooperative (Deseret) of Sandy, Utah. <br />Deseret's preferred location is the Bonanza site 6 3/4 miles north- <br />west of Bonanza, Utah. Deseret would prefer to pipe water approxi- <br />mately 19 miles from a collector-well system located beside the Green <br />River (about 2~ miles upstream from Walker Hollow) to the Bonanza <br />site. About 17,470 ac~e-feet of water per year would be pumped <br />under a 30 c.f.s. (21,720 acre-feet/year) righ~. A 400 acre- <br />feet water storage reservoir would be constructed at the plant <br /> <br />site. <br /> <br />Water for the Deserado.Nine would be pumped from two wells <br />drilled into alluvium adjacent to the \1hite River in Colorado. <br />Under Moon Lake's 6 c.f.s. (4,344 acre-feet/year) consumptive- <br />use right 196.8 acre-feet per year would be pumped. According <br />to the water rights list this is an absolute water. right with a <br />priority date February 17, 1947. <br /> <br />Coal-Slurry Pipeline <br />If a coal-slurry pipeline is to be used to transport the <br />coal to the Bonanza site from the Dl'lSerado Mine one generating <br />unit would require 810 acre-feet per year, and two units would <br />need 1,375 acre-feet per year. If 196.8 acre-fqet per year <br />were used at the mine and 1,375 acre-feet per year used for <br />coal slurry, 34% of Moon Lake's consumptive-use right from the <br />White River in Colorado would be utilized. .
