| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; alternative delivery routes three main alternative delivery routes for bringing the project water from strawberry reservoir to utah lake were studied one delivery route would require bringing the water through a pipeline down diamond fork and spanish fork river this method would have the advantage of allowing sufficient water to be released in diamond fork to provide fishery enhancement on 21 miles of stream however this alternative would mean an annual loss of 133.5 1335 megawatts mega watts of electrical generating capacity and 319 million kilowatts of power A second alternative delivery route would require that the water flow down the diamond fork and spanish fork river without either a power system or a pipeline this alternative was considered infeasible as the diamond fork channel as is would not be sufficient to handle the flows A third delivery route would involve bringing the water directly from fromstrawberry strawberry reservoir through an 117 mile tunnel near nearwalisburg Walls wails wallsburg burg to the provo river this alternative would require the construction of a small dam at keetley plus enlarging deer creek reservoir the disadvantages of this alternative include 1 less recreation development 2 a concentration of bonneville unit water duchesne and weber river imported water and existing provo river flows in one river system 3 damage by excessive flows to the provo river below deer creek reservoir unless riprap rip rap or pipe were used and 4 an increased expense and difficulty of further development of the bonneville unit water due to concentrated cent rated flows and reduced flexibility of the plan alternative reservoir sites two alternative reservoir sites with capacities equal to jordanelle Jor danelle reservoir were considered the hailstone site and the enlarged deer creek reservoir site the hailstone site would have the advantage of not requiring the relocation of highway 40 north of heber city however the hailstone site would be higher and wider and require more fill than jordanelle Jor danelle dam also because the reservoir would have steeper side slopes the proposed shoreline recreation would be available only at the upper end of the reservoir where the esthetic appeal would be less because the mud flats would be frequently exposed enlarging deer creek dam would require several major relocations including the following the existing power plant highway 189 the scenic heber creeper rail road the town of charleston and the midway fish hatchery even though less earth f fill ill lil 111 would be needed at deer creek the fill would have to be brought in from outside the reservoir basin another disadvantage of this site would be the increase of environmental impacts alternative aqueduct locations the jordan aqueduct could be constructed on one of four routes from a point east of orem to the point of the mountain these include the following 1 a route along highway 115 1 15 2 a direct route 3 a route along the salt lake aqueduct and 4 the proposed plan route along the provo reservoir canal the first three alternatives pose a number of disadvantages the 115 1 15 route would require costly high pressure pipe and numerous sewer pump stations where sewers cross the aqueduct the direct route would affect many homes the salt lake aqueduct would present risks from being built along the wasatch fault as well as instability due to being built on steep slopes the proposed route along the provo reservoir canal alignment however was selected because it would utilize part of the existing easements along the canal and utah highway 80 west of highland this would reduce easements needed from private lands the principle advantage in following the canal is that both the jordan aqueduct and the alpine aqueduct would be placed in gravity flow lines thus avoiding high pressure pipes or unnecessary pumping |
