| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; constructed on the west side of the reservoir As in the proposed plan irrigation water for the francis area and minimum flows for fish would be released from the rehabilitated big elk trial and wall lakes A program to mitigate losses to wildlife and wildlife habitat would be considerably smaller than in the proposed plan the relocation plan would be much smaller in scale than the proposed plan construction costs and annual operation pe ration maintenance and replacement costs would be 25 percent higher than in the proposed plan the principal features of this alternative are shown in figure H 7 and compared with the proposed plan in table H 4 it should be noted that the wallsburg Walls burg tunnel could also be built as described here after jordanelle Jor danelle reservoir had already been constructed thus constituting another alternative for exchanging straw berry reservoir water to jordanelle Jor danelle reservoir in addition to the four described earlier in section H 3 under this variation the imported flows would be stored in deer creek reservoir and exchanged with provo river flows which would be stored upstream in jordanelle Jor danelle reservoir b environmental impacts this alternative would provide about 25 percent more construe construc con struc tion jobs than the proposed plan and would result in a similar increase in expenditures in the project area it would require the relocation of eight families eight homes one farm and two businesses substantially fewer than the proposed plan about 5 miles of US highway 40 1 mile of state highway 223 3 miles of 44 kilovolt powerlines pow erlines and 1.5 15 15 miles of telephone lines would also need to be relocated development of this alternative would result in about 133400 days of recreational use annually only about one fourth of the use in the proposed plan under this alternative flows in the provo river above deer creek reservoir would be about the same as in the proposed plan above the jordanelle Jor danelle adamsite damsite except for the differences caused by keetley reser voir as discussed in alternative 4b ab between deer creek reservoir and the olmsted diversion winter flows would be up to three times as great as those in the proposed plan but high spring flows would be about the same as in the proposed plan the water quality in deer creek reservoir would not change noticeably if this alternative were selected multilevel outlets would be provided in the pipeline from strawberry reservoir so as to control potential eutrophication problems in the wallsburg Walls burg arm and the lower portion of the reservoir As discussed in alternative 4b ab keetley reservoir would be slightly lower in nutrients than jordanelle Jor danelle reservoir but potential heavy metal problems and high nutrient levels in the soil could result in water of poor quality because of heavy metals As in the proposed plan the most significant impact on fisheries would be a moderate reduction in the quality of the 6 mile mlle class I 1 section of the provo river from deer creek reservoir to the H 37 |
