Show sagebrush, and other mountain brushes of various types, and wildflowers. Moon Aqueduct would deliver an average 233,000 acre- feet of water annually to Provo River for re- regulation in Jordanelle Reservoir enlargement. This water would be high quality water for municipal and light manufacturing use in the Bonneville Basin. Uinta Basin Reservoirs Four of the five reregulating reservoirs described below would store and regulate winter flows through Flaming Gorge Aqueduct to meet an irrigation demand pattern. The fifth would regulate flows of Uinta and Whiterocks Rivers and fish bypasses in Yellowstone River. Active capacities are shown below. Active Capacity Reservoir ( acre- feet) Lapoint 40,000 Halfway Hollow 70,000 Harmston 15,000 Bluebell 16,000 Altonah 47,000 Lapoint Reservoir site consists of low growing brush and grasses in " foothill" country of the Uintah Basin. The reservoir would serve 2,909 acres of full service Indian land; 11,140 acres of supplemental service Indian land; 3,280 acres of Class 1- 3 supplemental service non- Indian land; and 1,660 acres of Class 6W non- Indian land. Annual flow through this reservoir would be 61,000 acre- feet. Halfway Hollow Reservoir site consists of a sparse stand of low growing sagebrush and grass tufts in the more arid part of Uinta Basin. This reservoir would serve 17,390 acres of land if the Ute Tribe agrees with the exchange, most of which is located on Leland Bench; 3,890 acres of supplemental service Indian land; 1,900 acres of supplemental service Class 1- 3 non- Indian land; and 1,910 acres of Class 6W non- Indian land. Annual flow through this reservoir would be 85,000 acre- feet. Harmston Reservoir site consists of about 50 percent farmland, of which 40 acres are managed as a State game farm to provide food and shelter for 428 |
