The KSV
Groundwater Development Project,
which is being proposed by the Lincoln
County Water District (LCWD), would
be located in southwestern Lincoln
County. The proposed project would
develop and convey groundwater in
Kane Springs Valley to private land
(formerly known as the Aerojet land) in
the Coyote Springs Valley. The volume
of water to be transported through the
proposed facilities would be
approximately 5,000 acre-feet per year.
The proposed facilities include 7
groundwater production wells (16″
diameter), 4-mile long water
transmission pipeline (24″ diameter),
and lateral pipelines (12″ diameter) to
connect the transmission pipeline to the
production wells. The pipelines and
wells would be located along or near the
Kane Springs Road. The proposed width
of the permanent right-of-way for the
transmission pipeline and lateral
pipelines is 20 feet. During construction
of the pipelines, a temporary width of
60 feet would be needed. Electric and
communication lines would be located
within the permanent right-of-way for
the pipelines. Access roads
approximately 12 feet in width would
be needed from the Kane Springs Road
to each well site. Each well site would
require a temporary construction area of
100 feet × 200 feet.
The facilities would be generally
located within and/or across the
following public lands about 65 miles
northeast of Las Vegas:
