Relation Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; 1 alood ilood flood control reservoir sites three alternative sites for a reservoir to control flood flows of hobble creek were considered the thirty oaks site the lowest on the creek would inundate the newly constructed hobble creek golf course the other two sites were located about 4 miles upstream on the left fork of the creek and hence would control only part of the flow of hobble creek either of these sites would inundate approximately 40 acres of uinta national forest lands 12 mile of secondary road and 12 mile of jeep road all of the alternate sites are only partially timbered and include several permanent dwellings each site would require a high dam with large quantities of embankment for a comparatively small amount of storage a dam 50 feet high would impound only about 1000 acre feet of wauer water water 2 hobble creek enlargment enl4rgment enlargement an additional alternative would be to rehabilitate and enlarge hobble creek through springville Spring ville and construct a smaller bypass channel south of the city redd diversion dam would be required on hobble creek below springville Spring ville to divert the streamflow stream flow into a bypass channel around provo bay dike an enlargement of the creek through town would be costly and environmentally undesirable the larger flood capacity required would mean home removal new bridges creek widening and routing higher flood flows through town with the associated turbid water debris etc during flood stages short term impacts would occur during construction the final result would be a uniform conveyance structure in lieu of a meandering stream 3 concrete chute alternative an alternative was considered for a portion of the bypass canal south of springville springirille Spring ville this would be a concrete chute section runnino running west on fourth south street from its intersection with hobble creek A diversion structure would be required at that point this alternative would be more costly and also undesirable from a safety standpoint because of its location along a city street 618
