| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; compromising groundwater resources or de watering agricultural lands in the upper provo river areas should be avoided baseline conditions in this EIS were defined by assuming the 75 cfs cs minimum flow requirement is not in effect it is too speculative at this time to identify necessary and related assumptions needed to define hydrology conditions in the impact area of influence once the 75 cfs cs requirement is implemented based on the direction of the CUPCA CUWCD would make every effort to obtain all water rights for the 75 cfs cs instream in stream flow from areas within the utah lake drainage without compromising water resources in the upper provo river areas purchase of these water rights would therefore not affect water rights in heber valley where the PRRP is proposed and would not affect the comparison of impacts of the alternatives in the heber area the lower provo river reaches are therefore considered outside the project area of influence of this EIS the 75 cfs cs instream in stream flow in the lower reach of the provo river was not modeled by PROSIM for baseline the proposed action or the DRP alternatives in order to model the instream in stream flow the results of all future water purchases and exchanges would need to be known to determine how much each diversion would be reduced from the river below deer creek reservoir modeled flows at the provo city gage under baseline conditions are similar to existing flow conditions and were zero during some summer months 3251.1 32511 provo river at jordanelle Jor danelle reservoir outlet jordanelle Jor danelle reservoir outlet flows represent the total outflow from jordanelle Jor danelle reservoir including controlled releases and spills see map 32 3 2 average annual baseline releases would be 346 cfs cs 3251.2 32512 32512 32513 provo river below timpanogos Timpano gos diversion provo river flows below the timpanogos Timpano gos diversion represent the flow in the river about 1500 feet below jordanelle Jor danelle dam below the timpanogos Timpano gos diversion and after the junction of the new and old river channels see map 32 3 2 3251.3 32513 32513 provo river below valeo diversion provo river flows below the valeo diversion represent the flow in the river below the diversions to the timpanogos Timpano gos and wasatch canals and several small private diversions see map 32 3 2 they 3 include the return flow to the river from the wasatch bypass channel below the wasatch diversion 3251.4 32514 32514 provo river below midway diversion provo river flows below the midway diversion represent the flow in the river below the diversion by the river ditch canal operated by midway irrigation company see map 32 3 2 although this location is normally dry through the summer under present conditions the minimum flow would be 125 cfs cs under baseline conditions this location would normally be the point of lowest flow in the river because most major diversions from the river are above this location and most return flows from heber valley return to the river downstream of this location 3251.5 32515 32515 provo river below island ditch diversion provo river flows below the island ditch diversion represent the flows in the river immediately above the point of inflow from spring creek see map 32 3 2 groundwater return flows above this location are usually equal to or greater than the diversions by the island ditch irrigation company 3251.6 32516 32516 provo river inflow to deer creek reservoir provo river inflow at the inlet to deer creek reservoir includes the inflow to the river from spring creek and snake creek see map 32 3 2 it also includes all of the remaining return flow from the groundwater basin that returns directly to the river it does not include all of the inflow to deer creek reservoir 3251.7 32517 deer creek reservoir releases deer creek reservoir releases represent the total outflow from deer creek reservoir including diversions through the salt lake aqueduct see map 32 3 2 baseline average annual flow at this location is 428 cfs cs 3251.8 32518 32518 provo river at provo city gage provo river at the provo city gage represents the inflow to utah lake after all diversions from the river and inflow gains see map 32 3 2 325.2 3252 3252 groundwater resources approximately 1.5 15 15 million acre feet of water is stored in the heber valley groundwater basin utah division of water resources 1991 the amount |
