| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; the yellowstone river existing flows would be maintained the areas flatwater fl atwater fishery improvement would be lessened since taskeech Tas keech reser voir would be smaller twin pots reservoir would not be stabilized and only 4 rather than 14 high country lakes would be stabilized new recreation opportunities would be fewer when compared to the recom becom mended plan the wildlife mitigation plan would be essentially the same as under the recommended plan but the need would be eliminated for wildlife protection structures along taskeech Tas keech feeder canal included as a project feature salinity increases at imperial dam would be reduced about 60 percent from the recommended plan 5 high country lakes stabilization only a plan of development the purpose of this alternative would be to stabilize the 14 high country lakes in the headwaters of the lake fork and yellowstone rivers and transfer their storage capacity to 2 offstream off stream scream reservoirs that would be constructed lower in the drainage As shown in figure H 3 the 5300 acre foot talmage reservoir would be constructed off stream in the lake fork river drainage 13 miles south of moon lake and 2.6 26 26 miles northwest of talmage community and the 3000 acre foot water hollow reservoir would be constructed offstream off stream in the yellowstone river drainage 3.6 36 36 miles northeast of altonah alzonah Al tonah water would be delivered during spring runoff to talmage reservoir via an enlarged farns worth canal delivery of water to water hollow reservoir would be made via the existing yellowstone feeder canal the two reservoirs would store and release 4000 acre feet of water from spring runoff the water would be used as replacement water for irrigated lands presently served by the lakes though some higher elevation project lands would be served from the lake fork and yellowstone rivers by exchange because of the distance and elevation difference from the two proposed reservoirs water released from talmage reservoir would be delivered through a proposed 8 mile service canal while releases from water hollow reservoir would flow 2.5 25 25 miles down the natural channel of water hollow into an existing canal for delivery to project lands proposed reservoir recreation development includes access roads and boat launching picnic and sanitation facilities upstream day use and trailhead features on the forest service lands also would be provided as in the recommended plan this alternative would differ from the recommended plan in that the project would not provide for a supplemental irrigation supply municipal and industrial water flood protection a minimum flow regimen in the lake fork river below moon lake dam or canal rehabilitation taskeech Tas keech reservoir and associated project features would not be con strutted structed struc ted the wildlife mitigation plan would be limited to improvement of big game habitat on indian lands H 9 |
