Kremmling Canal would be constructed to extend from the Williams Reservoir northwest to the lower project lands. It would include a siphon across the Colorado River. The project would provide water to 8,990 acres of new land and to 4,650 acres now irrigated with an inadequate water supply. d. Rabbit Ear Project Flows of Muddy Creek, a tributary of the Colorado River would be regulated by the 22,500 acre-foot DeBerard Reservoir that would be formed by a dam 86 feet high. The reservoir would be located about 22 miles northwest of Kremmling, Colorado. From the reservoir outlet, irrigation canals would extend southward on each side of Muddy Creek Valley. The DeBerard Canal on the west side would be 28 miles long and the Gunsight Canal on the east side would be 38 miles long. Water would be provided for 13,955 acres of new land and 5,235 acres now partially irrigated. e. Eagle Divide Project The existing Piney Lake on the headwaters of Piney River, a tributary of the Colorado River, would be enlarged into the Red Sandstone Reservoir to a capacity of 12,800 acre-feet by construction of the Red Sandstone Dam immediately below the existing lake to a height of 77 feet. The Catamount Canal would head on Piney River below the reservoir and would extend westward 32 miles. It would serve lands on the south side of Piney and Colorado Rivers on both sides of the divide between the Eagle and Colorado Rivers. The canal would also divert and deliver to project lands surplus flows of several small north-flowing streams that would be crossed by the canal. The Willow Creek Lateral would branch from the Catamount Canal and convey water southward to lands along Willow Creek and Alkali Creek. The project would provide water to 8,990 acres of new land and 1,885 acres now irrigated with an inadequate water supply. f. Battlement Mesa Project Battlement Mesa Project would utilize surplus flow of Buzzard Creek, a tributary of Plateau Creek in the main Colorado River drainage, as well as surplus flows of Dyke Creek and West Muddy Creek in the Gunnison River drainage. Water from all of these sources would be regulated in Owens Creek Reservoir, 25,000 acre-feet capacity, that would be formed by a dam 149 feet high -58- |
