SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969, as amended, we have
prepared a final environmental impact
statement (FEIS) on a proposal under
which Sanpete Water Conservancy
District (SWCD) would construct,
operate, and maintain the Narrows
Project—a proposed non-Federal water
development and conveyance project
funded with a variety of public and
private financing and located in part on
Federal lands.
The FEIS Analyzes Four Alternatives
The FEIS describes and analyzes the
potential effects of four alternatives. The
No Action Alternative represents the
conditions of the affected area in
Sanpete and Carbon counties if the
project is not built. The three action
alternatives represent three different
versions of the Narrows Project, each
differing in the size of the dam and
reservoir. Three reservoir sizes were
analyzed to enable the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers to determine the Least
Environmentally Damaging Practicable
Alternative.
Under all three action alternatives, a
supplemental water supply would be
developed for presently irrigated lands
and for municipal and industrial water
users in north Sanpete County. The
alternatives would require diversion of
up to 5,400 acre-feet of water annually
from Gooseberry Creek drainage in the
Colorado River Basin to northern
Sanpete County in the Sevier River
drainage basin. The water right used
under the action alternatives represents
about 6.6 percent of the average annual
yield of the Price River above the City
of Price. Under all action alternatives,
the SWCD’s conversion of water from
irrigation to municipal and industrial
use would occur in stages.
What the Preferred Alternative Does
The preferred alternative is to allow
SWCD to build, operate, and maintain
the largest dam with a reservoir capacity
of 17,000 acre-feet of water stored
behind a dam with a height of 120 feet,
a crest length of 550 feet, and a reservoir
surface area of 604 acres. The reservoir
would produce an average yield of 5,136
acre-feet per year. In addition, it would
provide an average annual supply of
4,281 acre-feet of water for 15,420 acres
of farmland and 855 acre-feet of water
for municipal and industrial use.

Irrigation is expected to yield a third
crop of alfalfa in an area where usually
only two crops are harvested.
