| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; d boan reservoir plan another alternative reservoir site is the boan site located about 10 miles downstream from the tyzack site this reservoir would inundate about 183 acres of land and 2.3 23 23 miles of class IV flowing stream it would require two pumping plants and a 114 mile aqueduct to convey the water to the vernal area for municipal and industrial use the boan site is less attractive economically and geologically in addition it would inundate low grade coal coat deposits it would also be ineffective in reducing stream erosion between the two sites the boan site would be comparable to the tyzack site for fish and wildlife propagation but would be much less scenic and less desirable for recreation use this reservoir however would not inundate nor reduce the flows in the class 111 III ili fishery section of big brush creek see figure H hll 11 for location of facilities e brush creek diversion alternative this alternative would provide 7200 acre feet of municipal and industrial water for the vernal area it would also provide 4600 acre feet of irrigation water from the burns pumping plant the plan would include a diversion dam on big brush creek pumping plant switchyard small 5000 acre foot regulating reservoir east upper steinaker reservoir treatment plant and 814 8 14 mile long aqueduct connecting these features the maximum pump capacity would be 10 cfs cs with an annual capacity of 7200 acre feet tyzack reservoir would not be built under this option therefore the water would be diverted directly out of big brush creek and would be conveyed to the small reservoir then to the treatment plant and into vernal city water tank the small reservoir would provide additional storage and permit better regulation of the flow through the treatment plant several slightly different plans were analyzed that would divert water from big brush creek to the vernal area however the plan described above would be the most feasible of the brush creek diversion alternatives the diversion dam would be located far enough downstream from the big brush creek gorge that there would be no damage to the gorge excavation for the 814 8 14 mile long pipeline would disrupt the landscape and the pumping plants and discharge lines would create permanent scars and disrupt the landscape the small reservoir would inundate 143 acres of land the reservoir would have three small dams each about 2000 feet long and 74 feet high at the highest point the three dams would have 896000 cubic yards of embankment see figure H 12 for location of facilities H 36 |
