Show serve as a new route for the waters of Hobble Creek. Beginning at Hobble Creek, it would run southerly to its confluence with Springville Bypass west of Spring- ville. It would then turn westerly, traversing almost due west around the south side of Provo Bay and Provo Bay Dike to its confluence with the Spanish Fork River, thence to Utah Lake. The Provo Bay Bypass would consist of a gravel- lined canal and would be constructed on level land. It would convey some water at all times, but its design capacity would be approached only when it conveyed flood water. ( e) Provo Bay Canal and Pumping Plants The Provo Bay Irrigation Pumping Plant would pump water from an intake channel of Utah Lake into the Provo Bay Canal. This canal would traverse the bay in a counter clockwise direction with laterals extending from the main canal on the north and south sides of the bay to serve lands in the higher areas. Two small pumping plants would pump water into these laterals. {. Physical data on the Provo Bay pumping plant are given in Table A- 6.) The main canal would serve the farms within the bay area on a semicall- rotation basis. ( ll) Beer Creek Dike, Pumping Plant, Diversion Dam, and Canal Beer Creek Dike would prevent flooding of the lower area of Beer Creek by Utah Lake. Beer Creek Pumping Plant would pump drainage water from the inland side through the dike into Utah Lake. ( Physical data on the pumping plant are given in Table A- 6.; Beer Creek Diversion Dam and Canal would divert and convey the natural flow of Beer Creek and its tributary, Spring Creek, around the west end of the dike and back into Beer Creek channel and into Utah Lake. Beer Creek Dike, located about 7 miles westerly from Spanish Fork, would be a compacted earth embankment structure. Rights- of- way required would include about 22 acres of private pastureland having no improvements. Secondary asphalt- surfaced roads serve the area and could be used for access to the feature. The silts adjacent to the dike site are considered adequate for embankment. Gravelly and riprap material could be obtained from West Mountain, about 2 miles from the site. Commercial aggregate for concrete could be obtained from Spanish Fork or Payson. 87 |
