| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; CHAPTER II 11 development PIAN PLAN plak hydro power developments would be made where practicable on streams intercepted by the aqueduct strawberry reservoir would be enlarged from its present capacity of 283000 acre feet to a capacity of 1370000 acre feet by construction of soldier creek dam fan dan on strawberry river 9 miles below the existing dam the reservoir would regulate water from the uinta basin that would be delivered through the strawberry aqueduct in addition it would provide storage regulation for the present supply of the strawberry valley project and for inflow between the old and new dams water in nearly uniform annual quantities would be released from the reservoir through two tunnels one an enlargement of the existing outlet tunnel approximately 4 miles long and the other a new tunnel approximately 5 miles long in its descent from the reservoir to near the floor of the bonneville basin a drop of about 2600 21600 feet the wator water vater vator would pogg pass through series of power plants and reservoirs the water would pass first through the old west and fifth water power plants located near the outlets of the two tunnels below these plants the water would flow through the sixth water and fifth water aqueducts to a cogmon coirmon conmon surge pipe it would then flow successively through the hammock power plant and tanner power plant to uo monks hollow reservoir from monks hollow reservoir the water would enter the wasatch aqueduct eight miles down the aqueduct line high on the wall of spanish fork canyon the water would be divided part continuing in the aqueduct andextensions and ana extensions to the south and part being diverted to the north luning luring during duning the irrigation season part of the water continuing south in the aqueduct voula would be regulated in the goosenest goosonest 6008 Goos enest onest reservoir and distributed for irrigation in the area above present works of the strawberry valley project from salem to york ridge south of santaquin San taquin at york eidge rioge ridge aioge part of the water would be diverted into the potential mona nephi canal and used in the area GQ ao far south as levan sone sonc some somo of the water would replace that now supplied for irrigation from springs on salt creek thus permitting more of the spring water to be used for municipal and industrial purposes in the nephi area return flows from irrigation in the nephi area would be utilized on agricultural lands in the vicinity of elberta these flows would be regulated in the existing mona reservoir that would be enlarged under the project during the nonirrigation season all of the water flowing south in the wasatch aqueduct would be conveyed to the 530000 acre foot dyer reservoir that would be located near the jericho railroad siding 25 miles west of nephi the water would be stored in the reservoir until the irrigation season and then released to lands near holden and fillmore part of this water would replace vater water now being supplied from the sevier river and thus would permit more sevier river water to be stored in existing upstream reservoirs for use principally in the vicinity of richfield 15 |
