| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; material refer to page 20 of the interdisciplinary team report in the appendix material this type of dam construction would eliminate the need for downstream borrow areas and would use rock from the inundated reservoir area this would completely eliminate the adverse environmental impact of the downstream borrow areas the proposed upper stillwater reservoir will inundate part of the high uintas cintas primitive area in rock creek canyon the high uintas cintas primitive area has been studied for wilderness status the president has approved the area for wilderness status and referred the proposal to congress for enactment the proposed high uintas cintas wilderness boun dary has excluded the proposed upper stillwater reservoir area and no conflict will occu occur mccu if the wilderness proposal is enacted by law before construction of the he dam alternatives for the stillwater tunnel docs does diversion dam and pipeline hades diversion dam and pipeline and the north fork siphon are discussed in the interdisciplinary team report in the appendix material some of the suggested alternatives would have much less adverse environmental impacts than presently proposed features and construction methods the forest service has suggested to the bureau that hades tunnel should be realigned to lessen the adverse impacts of the wolf creek pipeline th the e wolf creek pipeline as reported in the present draft Environment environmental aJ statement has tentatively been eliminated by realignment of the hades tunnel and moving the outlet portal upstream in wolf creek canyon the outlet portal of hades tunnel would be across the canyon from the inlet portal of rhodes tunnel thus requiring a very short pipeline between the two portals the wolf creek pipeline would be a major adverse environmental impact because of its location above the wolf creek road on a very st steep eep beep canyon side this proposed new location of the hades tunnel is certainly a plus on the environmental side if constructed realignment of hades tunnel as proposed would also require realignment of rhodes tunnel which would be environmentally beneficial since the tunnel portal would then be at shout st stream orean urean level in the canyon bottom whereas the portal tortal was approximately 150 feet above the canyon bottom moving these portals portais up upstream stream strear steear would greatly reduce the length of the rhodes feeder pipeline and thus decrease the environmental impact this pipeline would have had on the canyon side tentative cost analysis indicates the realigned hades tunnel cost may be less than the original tunnel and the wolf creek pipeline cost may be reduced on the rhodes feeder pipeline these alternatives should be discussed in the environmental statement 23 |
