| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; A new alinement alin ement has been proposed for the upper portion of the wasatch aqueduct adjacent to hayes reservoir this route would place the aqueduct along the same sane alinement alin ement as the road relocation on the north side of the reservoir fig H 21 this alinement alin ement would eliminate construction on the south side of the canyon and the accompanying adverse environmental effects of construction scars and maintenance activities pipeline and open canal construction would cause removal of mostly native oakbrush oak brush along the alinement alin ement access roads to these facilities would be required from existing highways to the ends of each section of pipeline or open canal native brush and plants would be removed along these access road alinements aline ments b highline canal enlargement the second major alternative would allow the dyne powerplant Power plant releases to flow down the diamond fork and spanish fork river channels these flows would then be diverted at a lower elevation into an enlarged highline canal and conveyed south for a distance of about 16.7 167 167 miles the goosenest Goos enest and santaquin San taquin areas would be served by pumping from the canal A pumping plant would lift the water from the enlarged canal at a point near santaquin San taquin to a new canal about 6 miles in length which would discharge into mona nephi canal at york ridge this plan would have high pumping costs and would increase the flows in the existing river channels which would aggravate erosion problems an advantage would be the elimination of some open canal and pipelines with less natural vegetation removal and scarring of the hillsides hill sides the enlargement of the highline canal would involve the removal of natural vegetation consisting primarily of oak sagebrush and grasses again winter releases would be stored in mona and sevier bridge reservoirs the construction scar under this plan would be approximately 320 acres the scar would be reduced by restoration st oration to approximately 200 acres of which 75 acres would consist of the existing highline canal c mona nephi canal alternatives there are several alternatives of location and capacity for mona nephi canal all alternatives are similar in that they begin at york ridge traverse the east side of juab valley and end at nephi inasmuch 608 |
