| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; will have a capacity of 2.310 2310 second feet at a maximum water surface of elevation 5718.3 57183 feet and a capacity of 1300 second feet at the top of the inactive storage pool at elevation 5624.8 56248 feet the spillway will be an uncontrolled ogee section on the right abutment with a design capacity of 16600 second feet at maximum water surface elevation which is about 6.3 63 63 feet above the spillway crest the starvation dam will contain approximately 4500000 cubic yards of embankment materials roadwork Roa dwork required for the dam will consist of constructing struc ting roadway structures and surfacing approximately 1.6 16 ig lg miles of access road to the outlet works and spillway structures and grading and surfacing of about one mile of road leading to the crest of the dam US highway 40 that passes through the reservoir site will be relocated for approximately six miles beginning at duchesne utah and extending on the south side of the reservoir to a point west of the reservoir where it will join the existing highway the relocation will require construction of one of utahs major bridges the starvation reservoir will have a total capacity of 167310 acre feet including 152330 acre feet of active capacity 12990 acre feet of inactive capacity and 1990 acre feet of dead storage A surcharge capacity of 21670 acre feet will also be provided for flood control an allowance of 24000 acre feet will provide for sediment deposition for 100 years of which approximately 12300 will be deposited in the active pool and 11700 in the inactive pool the reservoir will have a surface area of 3310 acres at normal water surface elevation 5712 feet investigations show that geologic conditions at the starvation dam site are favorable for the planned earth structure bedrock at the damsite adamsite is soft variegated shale and friable sandstone of the uinta formation the reservoir basin is expected to be watertight suitable earth materials for the dam are available within two miles of the damsite darnsite adamsite dam darn site the knight diversion dam located on the duchesne river approximately five miles upstream from duchesne utah will divert flows of the river into the starvation feeder conduit the dam will consist of rolled earthfill earthfall earth fill dikes a concrete overflow section and a headworks head works with a sluiceway the overflow weir section will be 100 feet long with a crest elevation of 5736.5 57365 feet and a design flood capacity of 6000 second feet the head works designed to divert 300 second feet into the feeder conduit will consist of reinforced concrete and be controlled by an 84 inch diameter cast iron slide gate the starvation feeder conduit with a capacity of 300 second feet will extend about two miles from the knight diversion dam to the starvation reservoir it will consist of about one mile of 7 foot diameter tunnel 4000 feet of 84 inch diameter precast concrete pipeline and about 1300 feet of outlet channel with two baffled apron drops starvation reservoir will increase the usable water supply to the duchesne river area by about 22800 acre feet annually part of this water will replace natural flows that will be transferred for use on higher lands in the duchesne river area starvation reservoir water will also be used to supplement the irrigation supply on about 10000 acres of indian land under the existing duchesne feeder canal and midview reservoir which will free lake fork water that is appurtenant to these lands for use upstream on lands of the moon lake project this water exchange is referred to as the midview Mid view exchange the starvation reservoir will assure a continuation of the exchange and permit a continued use of lake fork water on lands of the moon lake project existing canals and ditches will be used to distribute starvation reservoir water however some of these canals will require rehabilitation to oii Pli oil eliminate minate excessive seepage losses contracts were awarded in march for construction of the three major features of the starvation complex the starvation dam contract was awarded to goodfellow bros inc of wenatchee natchee We washington the knight diversion dam contract went to united structures inc of dolores colorado and the starvation feeder conduit contract was awarded to W W clyde and co of spring ville utah iv UPPER stillwater RESERVOIR 4 41 strawberry AOUEDUCT RRANT CREEK RESERVOIR KNIGHT DIVERSION DAM starvation FEEDER CONDUIT starvation RESERVOIR SOLDIER REEK DAM dau rrr arr lver IVER duchsne straws srraws starvation DAM ENLARGED ENLARCED strawberry RESERVOIR starvation DAM is part of starvation COMPLEX part of x127 bonneville UNIT part of CENTRAL UTAH PROJECT part of COLORADO RIVER STORAGE PROJECT |
