| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; CHAPTER II 11 alternatives As stated above an annual average of 158300 acre feet of water would enter the spanish fork river from diamond fork approximately 76200 acre feet would be diverted from the river for irrigation in the spanish fork area and the remaining 82100 acro acre feet would enter utah lake the water for the spanish fork area would consist of 61500 acre feet of strawberry valley project water and 14700 acre feet of bonneville unit water from strawberry reservoir an annual average of 108200 acre feet of bonneville unit water would be available from utah lake this water would consist of project releases to the spanish fork river 82100 acre feet project return flows 17900 acre feet an evaporation increase of 1900 acre feet decreased spills from the lake to the jordan river of 9800 acre feet and a 300 acre foot decrease in lake storage the return flows would include 13000 acre feet from municipal use in north utah county and 4900 acre feet from irrigation in the spanish fork area A large portion of the utah lake water 98500 acre feet would be made available to jordanelle Jor danelle reservoir of the mai m&i system through the provo river exchange which would be accomplished by storing provo river flows now entering the lake in the reservoir and using lake water to serve areas presently served by the river flows other uses of bonneville unit water in the lake would include 1000 acre feet for the spanish fork area under the bonneville unit operation of the lake would be coordinated with operation of strawberry and jordanelle Jor danelle reservoirs the project would operate through the lake without affecting lake volume or elevations by a replacement of lake water used for project purposes from upstream project facilities andor project return flows on an acre foot per acre foot basis saved lake evaporation would be minimal since lake elevations follow a natural pattern however during wet perlol periods pergol s when the lake is projected to spill to the jordan river no project releases would be made to the lake and high flows of the provo river would be stored at jordanelle Jor danelle reservoir without replacement this thi6 thia would benefit lands surrounding the lake during times of flooding whenever possible during dry years the lake could be stabilized and would not be drawn lower than 9.3 93 93 feet below compromise elevation if adequate project water is available an annual average of 8700 acre feet of utah lake water would be used to accomplish the indian ford exchange exchange3 exchanged 3 the exchange would provide most of the water supply to enable enabl0 enablp the release of water from jordanelle Jor danelle reservoir to the provo river to mitigate fishery losses which would otherwise occur on the lower reach of the river with bonneville unit development to compensate irrigators irrigatory presently using this water utah lake water would be released to the jordan river and pumped to the provo reservoir canal by the indian ford pumping plant4 planta 3 formerly referred to as the jacob welby exchange 4 formerly referred to as the jacob welby pumping plant 30 31 BEST COPY AVAILABLE |
