Show Highway 35 runs along the north side of Wolf Creek Canyon just above the diversion site. The site is easily reached by a short foot trail down the canyon side from the road. A short access road would be constructed to the site. Electric power could be obtained by extending a line about 1/ 2 mile to the proposed line at the inlet portal of Rhodes Tunnel. The diversion structure would consist of a reinforced concrete drop inlet structure that bifurcates the intake flow, with up to 15 c. f. s. going to the feeder line and the remainder to the sluice pipe. Flows in excess of those required for diversion and sluicing would pass over a grating at streambed elevation. Rhodes Feeder Pipeline would extend from the Rhodes Diversion Structure to the Strawberry Aqueduct, joining at a point on Wolf Creek Pipeline. Flow would be measured by a line meter downstream from the intake. ( 10) Rhodes Tunnel Rhodes Tunnel would extend 0.8 mile from Wolf Creek to the West Fork of the Duchesne River. The tunnel would be primarily within Uinta National Forest boundaries, under land used for multiple purposes. The inlet portal site would be located about 11„ 5 miles northwest of Hanna, along graded Utah Highway 35. A short foot trail leads to the site from the highway. The potential outlet portal site is about 12 miles northwest of Hannao The site is reached by graded Highway 35 and a graded Forest Service access road along the West Fork. An access road about 1/ 2 mile in length would be required from the Forest Service road to the outlet portal. Electric power for the inlet portal would be obtained from the proposed line at the outlet portal of Hades Tunnel. Power for the outlet portal of Rhodes Tunnel would be obtained by tapping the line to the Stillwater Tunnel outlet at the Stockmore Ranger Station and extending it westerly about 5 1/ 2 miles. ( 11) West Fork Pipeline The West Fork Pipeline would begin at the outlet portal of Rhodes Tunnel. It would carry Bonneville Unit water along the north side of the West Fork of Duchesne River Canyon, running in a southwesterly direction to the inlet portal of Vat Tunnel. 50 |
