-2- <br /> <br />4 Evaporation is assumed to balance average annual precipi- <br />tation but in order to provide fora pool elevation equiva- <br />lent to the average annual runoff, additional capacity of <br />1 year of average annual precipitation will be provided <br />(per John Ransone, Homestake Mining Co.). <br />2 Assume that all runoff above Elevation 9600 is diverted away <br />from the reservoir area with a diversion canal. <br />3 100% runoff is assumed. <br />4 Provide 5'-0 of freeboard (per "Design of Small Dams" by the <br />Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Department of the Interior). <br />1.4 Zero build-up of process water volume due to large make-up water <br />requirement at the mill is assumed. <br />1.5 Maximum required 25-year capacity = 4500 acre - Ft with 5'-0 of <br />freeboard (per Design Criteria 1.1 through 1.4). <br />2.0 Hydrologic Data <br />2.1 PMF precipitation = 12" for 1-hour thunderstorm (per "Design of <br />Small Dams"). <br />2.2 100-year - 24-hour storm precipitation = 2.8" (per Precipitation <br />Frequency Atlas of the Western U.S., NOAA Atlas 2, Volume III - <br />Colorado). <br />2.3 Drainage area (below Elevation 9600) = 185 acres. <br />2.4 Average annual precipitation = 24" (per "Weather Atlas of the <br />United States" by the U.S. Environmental Data Service). <br />2.5 Peak Q = 3000 cfs from PMF runoff for diversion canal design (per <br />"Design of Small Dams"). Drainage area (above elevation 9600) _ <br />140 acres. <br />
