| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; river would be diverted near the yellowstone ranch and transported to the reservoir via the 85 mile taskeech Tas keech feeder canal for storage regulation the water would then be returned to the streams during the irrigation season to meet the demand pattern flows which would be returned to the yellowstone river would be conveyed by the 35 mile taskeech Tas keech service canal with rehabilitation present canals would be adequate to distribute the additional water no additional distribution canals would be required active storage from 14 upstream reservoirs and twin pots reservoir would be transferred to taskeech Tas keech reservoir and these reservoirs would be stabilized and maintained as recreation lakes 2 impacts an ecological inventory and evaluation for the portion of the unit area on forested land is currently being prepared by the forest service additional studies as required to comply with NEPA would also be accomplished this material would be incorporated into an environmental statement the unit would stabilize the irrigation water supply of 42610 acres As a result the crop production incomes and wellbeing well being of those who rely on these lands for a livelihood would be enhanced this would help stabilize the rural area and slow the migration outmigration out trend taskeech Tas keech reservoir would provide added opportunity for recreation facilities would be constructed for boat launching with a normal capacity of 78000 acre feet a minimum pool of 12400 acre feet and with annual fish stocking the reservoir would provide a fair flat water fishery moon lake reservoir and taskeech Tas keech reservoir would be operated in a manner which would permit minimum flows of 30 cfs cs in the 2 miles of stream strewn between them A minimum flow of 25 cfs cs would be maintained in yellowstone river below the diversion these minimums are in accordance with the recommendations of the forest service 109 flows plows in yellowstone river between the present power diversion and the proposed taskeech Tas keech feeder canal diversion approximately 5 .5 mile would be improved as the power diversion would be terminated the reservoir at normal elevation would be expected to be an esthetic improvement As drawdown occurs large areas of shoreline would be exposed which would detract from the beauty of the setting the elimination of drawdown of the 14 upstream reservoirs and twin pots reservoir would be an enhancement to esthetics and recreational use 416 |
