Show Following an office review of the sites " by the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Ute Indian Tribe, five sites were selected for field inspection in the following order of priority: Bottle Hollow, Wanrodes, Glossimer, Myton, and Lower Stillwater. Following the field review, Bottle Hollow and Wanrodes were selected for construction. Because of excessively high costs, Wanrodes site was later abandoned in favor of the Lower Stillwater site. The impacts of the alternative sites are discussed below. ( 1) Glossimer Site Glossimer damsite is located about 3 miles southeast of Fork Duchesne. The U85 acres inundated by the reservoir are Indian land. No existing facilities or roads would have to be relocated. The area has light vegetative cover, mostly sagebrush. ( 2) Wanrodes Site Wanrodes damsite is located on Rock Creek about 11 miles northwest of Mountain Home. The reservoir would inundate about 110 acres, all of which would be located on Indian lands. Vegetative cover in the reservoir basin consists mainly of sagebrush and grasses, with some scattered trees on the sidehills. No existing facilities or roads would require relocation. ( 3) Myton Site This 800- acre reservoir site is located on the Lake Fork River about a mile upstream from the confluence of Lake Fork and Duchesne Rivers. A major portion of the land to be inundated by the reservoir is irrigated farmland. Four small Indian- owned farmsteads would have to be relocated. The only utilities within the reservoir basin are those associated with the farmsteads. One 2- mile section of county road would have to be relocated. d. Bonneville Basin Municipal and Industrial Distribution System Along with the Bonneville Basin reservoir storage system, a distribution system would be required to deliver stored water to points of use. The Jordan Aqueduct, under construction, will deliver municipal water from the Provo Reservoir Canal at the Point- of- the- Mountain to Salt Lake City. Alternatives 624 |
