Show in central Utah. Flows of Gooseberry Creek would be regulated in the Mammoth Reservoir of 17,200 acre-feet capacity. A 2.4-mile outlet tunnel from the reservoir would convey released storage water through the divide to Cottonwood Creek in the Bonneville Basin. The water would be diverted from Cottonwrood Creek into existing canals which would he rehabilitated as necessary and to the potential Gooseberry Highline Canal for conveyance to project lands. Drains would be provided as needed. Feasibility studies are needed for this project. Investigations are progressing. A definite plan report is expected to be completed by June, 1959. WYOMING a. Sublette Project The potential Sublette Project is planned to store and divert waters of the upper Green River and its tributaries to supply irrigation water for about 72,000 acres of undeveloped lands and 12,000 acres of lands presently irrigated with an inadequate supply. The plan also includes a small hydroelectric power plant. The project would be located in the Green River Basin in Sublette County, western Wyoming. Reconnaissance studies indicate that the project would consist of two independent divisions (Buckskin and West Side). With project development the irrigated lands would be utilized largely for the support of livestock enterprises as now practiced in the area. Climatically adapted crops such as hay, pasture, and small grains would be produced. Livestock would be primarily beef cattle and sheep. Preliminary land classification surveys indicate that the lands would be suitable for sustained crop production under irrigation farming. A detailed land classification has been made for part of the area. Completion of detailed classification would be necessary to confirm the suitability of all lands. Studies of streamflow records and simulated project operations indicate that an adequate irrigation supply would be available with moderate shortages in occasional drought years. The total increase in irrigation water supply would approximate 268,000 acre-feet -62- |
