Show Moon Lake Reservoir enlargement, the tunnel portals, pipelines, siphons, and diversion dams would all be in a forest setting with aspen, conifer, mountain brush of various types and wildflowers in the area. Capacity of the aqueduct would be 400 c. f. s. at its beginning at Whiterocks River increasing to 1,300 c. f. s. at its terminus at Moon Lake Reservoir. Four tunnels, the 8.0- mile- long Whiterocks Tunnel, the 9.2- mile- long Uintah Tunnel, the 1.0- mile- long Swift Creek Tunnel, and the 6.6- mile- long Yellowstone Tunnel would divert and convey high spring flows to Moon Lake Reservoir enlargment. Uintah Aqueduct would deliver an average 235,000 acre- feet of water annually to Moon Lake Reservoir enlargement. Minimum bypass flows for fish, as shown below, would be maintained past the aqueduct pickup points. Stream C. F. S. Whiterocks River 20 Uinta River 40 Swift Creek 7 Yellowstone Creek 18 Lakefork River 30 Exceptions to this flow would be in drought years when the natural flow at the pickup point would be less than shown above. Moon Lake Reservoir enlargement would have 220,000 acre- feet active capacity to store and regulate inflows from Uintah Aqueduct for delivery through Moon Aqueduct to Provo River. All of this water would be high quality water for municipal and light manufacturing use in the Bonneville Basin. Moon Aqueduct Moon Aqueduct would consist of 28 miles of tunnel and 4 miles of pipeline and siphon. Capacity of the aqueduct would be 440 c. f. s. for its entire length. Three tunnels, the 7.0- mile- long Moon Tunnel, the 9.3- mile- long Rock Creek # 1 Tunnel, and the 11.5- mile- long Rock Creek # 2 Tunnel would deliver water from Moon Lake Reservoir enlargement in Uinta Basin to South Fork of Provo River in the Bonneville Basin. A 2.5- mile pipeline along Rock Creek and 1.3- mile siphon on North Fork of Duchesne River would connect the tunnels together. The tunnel portals, pipelines, and siphon would all be in a forest setting with aspen, conifer, 427 |
