| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; CHAPTER I 1 introduction the unit is divided into six systems according to location and bunc func tion 1 the starvation collection system 2 the strawberry collec callec tion system 3 the municipal and industrial system 4 the irrigation and drainage system 5 the ute indian tribal development formerly known as the bureau of indian affairs activity and 6 the diamond fork power system the starvation collection system is complete the strawberry collection system the municipal and industrial system and the ute indian tribal development are under construction and the irrl gation and drainage system is planned for construction after the diamond fork power system these systems are designed for interrelated opera tion to provide maximum efficiency however the diamond fork power sys tem would not depend on construction of the irrigation and drainage sys tem to obtain its projected benefits because a conveyance system in dia mond fork canyon would still be needed to convey water for the mai m&i sys tem the starvation collection system strawberry collection system municipal and industrial system and diamond fork power system could operate together as an integrated project the various systems are de scribed ascribed below with the exception of the diamond fork power system which is described in chapter 111 III lil lii starvation collection SYSTEM the starvation collection system completed in 1970 is located in the uinta basin and develops water primarily for local use regulatory storage is provided by the 167300 acre foot starvation reservoir which is located on the strawberry river just above its confluence with the duchesne river and stores surplus flows of both streams the collec callec tion system pro provides vides irrigation water recreation fish and wildlife enhancement and flood control and replaces water presently used along the duchesne river which will eventually be diverted to the bonneville basin with storage water collected during high spring flows As the first of the bonneville unit systems the starvation collection system was under construction and nearing completion prior to enactment of NEPA and a final environmental statement was not written specifically for this system strawberry collection SYSTEM the strawberry collection system is the major system of the unit developing water in the uinta basin for in basin use and for export to the bonneville basin the 37 mile long strawberry aqueduct of which 36 miles have been constructed and 1 mile is under construction would intercept flows of rock creek and eight other tributaries tributa ries of the duchesne and strawberry rivers and convey them to the existing strawberry reservoir which has been enlarged in capacity from 270000 acre feet to 1106500 acre feet to accommodate these diversions the 33123 acre foot upper stillwater reservoir which is under construction will pro vide temporary storage for high spring flows which would otherwise be lost for diversion and storage in strawberry the system will also pro vide flood control recreation facilities and fish and wildlife con siderations side rations the 1973 programmatic environmental statement for the en tire bonneville unit covered in specific detail the strawberry collection 6 |
