| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; of the present system sprinkler irr irrigation igation ignation could be employed employers by individual irrigators irrigatory conversion to sprinkler irrigation would permit some expansion of the acreage irrigated d thek the thei irrigators irrigatory would normally take corrective action if canal losses became excessive or adjoining lands are endangered by canal seepage such action would generally result in lining a portion of the canal or installing a pipe section conversion from existing irrigation conveyance and application methods to the more efficient closed sprinkler type system is an option open to the irrigator that would be taken when the economics and other incentives justify it e drainage investigations of the jensen unit have been completed and adequate drainage facilities would be provided by the project this would insure continued productivity of the land and preserve the repayment ability of the irrigator f although the bureau of reclamation encourages the efficient use of water on all projects present regulations do not require use of specific irrigation efficiency measures by the irrigator as a term of the water sales contract comment population figures in the draft environmental statement on which the municipal and industrial water requirement is based do not correspond to the figures given in the referenced document A logical manipulation of population projections in oil shale reports result in a significantly lower population figure than shown in the draft statement response population projections in the draft environmental statement were made using data presented in the project independence report adjusted to realistically reflect conditions as they are expected to develop these projections were made by bureau of reclamation officials after consultation with local and state officials table A 1 presents population projections associated with oil shale for the three scenario levels of development assumptions for distribution of this population were that 60 percent would settle in a new oil shale city 30 percent would settle in ashley valley and 10 percent would live in duchesne and western uintah counties there would be some commuting from colorado to the utah tracts but this would be insignificant and probably offset by others commuting from utah to the colorado tracts failure of the oil shale companies to build a new city would result in a great deal more population growth in the ashley valley and greater demand for municipal and industrial water from the jensen unit than is shown in the draft statement comment the th steinaker reservoir tyzack reservoir operation should be clarified response with the extension of tyzack aqueduct to ashley creek much of the exchange with ashley springs would be concurrent and a highly coordinated steinaker tyzack reservoir operation unnecessary to avoid 139 1 39 |
