the borrow area) are included in Appendix F. Also included are <br />the daily discharge records for Basin Creek for the period <br />between June 1989 and May 1990. These records were obtained <br />through the use of a weir with insufficient capacity to measure <br />significant flows and are not indicative of actual flows <br />anticipated in Basin Creek. A new gaging station (weir) was <br />constructed on Basin Creek in February 1992 but washed out within <br />two weeks after installation. A staff gauge was subsequently <br />installed on Basin Creek near La Posta Road (County Road 213). <br />These data are also included in Appendix F. <br />Due to the intermittent nature of stream flows in Basin Creek, <br />the contractor should not plan on the availability of water in <br />Basin Creek for construction purposes. When Basin Creek does <br />• flow, the water is extremely turbid and would probably require <br />• treatment before using. Prior to construction, Reclamation will <br />acquire water rights in the amount of 5 cfs on the Animas River. <br />Two diversion points will be- available to meet the contractor's <br />construction and operation needs. One diversion point, <br />consisting of 3 cfs, will be located near the Durango Pumping <br />Plant site (Drawing No. 69-406-1800). This diversion will supply <br />water to Borrow Area A located within Ridges Basin Reservoir <br />site. The contractor will be responsible for constructing and <br />maintaining the necessary water conveyance system to convey this <br />water from the Animas River (elevation 6440) to Ridges Basin <br />Reservoir (maximum elevation 6980). <br />The second diversion point, consisting of 2 cfs. will be located <br />S on the Animas River near the intersection of County Road 213 and <br />the construction access road, approximately 1 mile from Borrow <br />Area B (see Drawing No. 69-406-1800).
