| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; description of the proposed action diamond fork system completion 2 to minimize adverse impacts on aquatic riparian and other environmental resources in the sixth water and diamond fork creek drainages 3 to minimize adverse impacts on threatened and endangered species wetlands and floodplains flood plains 4 to minimize the cost of project features 5 to achieve full repayment by maximizing mai mal water deliveries to fulfill outstanding commitments 6 to use existing diamond fork system facilities to their full hydraulic capacity 7 to evaluate an alternative to monks hollow dam and reservoir 1.3 13 13 description of the proposed action diamond fork system completion 13.1 131 introduction to the proposed action the proposed action was formulated to complete the diamond fork system and fulfill the same need with the least longterm long term environmental impact as the recommended plan described in the 1984 diamond fork power system FEIS as modified by the 1990 diamond fork system FSFEIS FS FEIS and the DOI 1995 ROD the development of power features within the diamond fork system would be implemented by nonfederal non federal entities through a lease of power privilege with the secretary of the interior in compliance with section 208 of CUPCA any such power development must be incidental to the delivery of water for other purposes and within the environmental commitments for in stream flows in this FSFEIS FS FEIS the development of power features within the diamond fork system are not covered in this document but would be covered in a separate NEPA document the diamond fork system would be completed by constructing a series of tunnels and pipelines to convey water through the mountainous terrain of diamond fork canyon and various diamond fork drainage tributary canyons in the uinta national forest see map 13 1 3 As described in section 303f of CUPCA the old strawberry tunnel only would be used to convey water for minimum streamflows stream flows except when the district in consultation with the commission has determined that the syar tunnel or the sixth water aqueduct is rendered unusable or emergency circumstances require the use of the strawberry valley tunnel for the delivery of contracted central utah project water and strawberry valley reclamation project water the following features are proposed for construction see map 13 1 3 or map al A l 1 1 sixth water connection to tanner ridge tunnel 2 tanner talmer ridge tunnel 3 diamond fork siphon 4 red mountain tunnel 5 red hollow pipeline and connection to diamond fork pipeline 6 diamond fork creek outlet 7 spanish fork river outlet from diamond fork pipeline and 8 modifications to spanish fork river diversion dams darns danns if necessary see map A 2 these features would be sized to convey the following 1 SVP water from strawberry reservoir for agricultural use in the spanish fork area of southern utah comity county 2 bonneville unit water to utah lake and 3 flows to meet the minimum streamflow stream flow requirements mandated by CUPCA the spanish fork river would be used to convey bonneville unit water to utah lake and SVP water to diversion dams on spanish fork river the me CUWCD would construct operate and maintain the diamond fork system to provide minimum flows in sixth water and diamond fork creeks minimum flows in sixth water creek from the strawberry tunnel outlet to diamond fork creek would be not less than 32 cfs cs from may through october and not less than 25 cfs cs from november through april minimum flows in diamond fork creek from diamond fork 113 1 13 diamond fork system FSFEIS FS FEIS |
