| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; 2 environmental impacts of the alternative the impacts described here are primarily for those features in the round valley area the impacts of the other features of this plan are the same as the respective feature impacts on the proposed plan the open channel from strawberry reservoir minimum water surface level to the inlet of wallsburg Walls burg tunnel would be about 3 miles long and would require extensive excavation parallel to a portion of US highway UO 40 the channel would be exposed periodically as the reservoir water surface fluctuated about 2 miles of strawberry river would be affected by both the increased reservoir water level and the excavation of the intake channel materials from the channel would be disposed of by spreading them in the reservoir basin in such a manner as to blend with the natural terrain the excavation would be accomplished by sloping and rounding backslopes back slopes to minimize their effect on the natural area construction would cause sediment to enter strawberry river and the reservoir unless preventive measures were taken materials excavated from wallsburg Walls burg tunnel would be deposited in the area adjacent to main creek settling ponds would be required to reduce the sediment in main creek caused by construction st activities this excavated material would be shaped to conform with the natural area and then treated and seeded with natural vegetation construction activities would temporarily disrupt fauna in the upper end of round valley increased flows would be released into main creek for about 10.6 106 log miles from wallsburg Walls burg tunnel outlet to deer creek reservoir the year round increased flow would reach a maximum of 260 cfs cs during july of each year the stream strean channel would be protected from increased erosion by riprap annual streamflows stream flows in the provo river from deer creek dan dam daz to murdock diversion dam would be increased above those of the proposed plan the impacts of using this water for municipal and industrial purposes in salt lake county would be about the same as the impacts from using bonneville unit water however with less water fewer present and future needs would be net met nev mev in salt lake county jordanelle Jor danelle reservoir would not be constructed struc ted on the provo river upstream flooding of the provo river would not be controlled and the flood control benefits would notie not be made available to the project return flows from the municipal water supplies would be made available for industrial uses the return flows could also be made available to the bird refuges near the mouth of the jordan river and the outflow from them could be used to maintain a higher level in the great salt lake than without this alternative 570 |
