Show been completed. General geology studies do not indicate the existence of suitable rock within the reservoir basin. Outcrops of limestone and well- cemented sandstone that should prove competent are located downstream from the damsite. Concrete aggregate is available from established commercial sources near Spanish Fork. Only day- use facilities for boating and picnicking and a small storage building for administration would be constructed, since camping would be accommodated on adjacent National Forest lands. The existing Palmyra and Diamond Fork campgrounds provide facilities for periods of longer use. The general area is also used for grazing by domestic animals and for hunting. A ranch is located in an area of the reservoir basin which would be inundated. Day- use recreation facilities would include necessary roads, parking areas, a boat- launching ramp, a picnic area, and water and sanitary facilities. Access to the recreation area would be provided by the relocated road on the north side of the reservoir. Figure A- 22 shows the potential borrow area and recreation site. ( 2) Wasatch Aqueduct Wasatch Aqueduct would extend from Dyne Powerplant to the Mona- Nephi Canal at York Ridge. The aqueduct would consist of a series of conduits, siphons, tunnels, and canals. The water would be used primarily for irrigation of land in the Bonneville Basin area. The aqueduct would traverse the slopes of Diamond Fork and Spanish Fork Canyons, tunnel through the Wasatch Mountain beneath Loafer Ridge, and then run along the base of the Wasatch Mountains near the communities of Salem, Payson, and Santaquin. Various sections of the aqueduct may be reached by short roads or trails from the Diamond Fork road, from U. S. Highway 6- 50- 89 through Spanish Fork Canyon, and from U. S. Highway 91 between Salem and Santaquin. The aqueduct traverses lands in Uinta National Forest, reclamation- withdrawn lands, Utah State lands, and private lands. In most of its first 3 miles the aqueduct would be located in pipe under the shoulder of the Forest Service Road in Diamond Fork. The next 7- mile section would be pipeline located on the south side of Diamond Fork Canyon. About 74 |
