SUPPLY PROJECT
The Million Conservation Resource Group (MCRG), a
private entity. is pursuing construction of the Regional
Watershed Supply Project (Project) designed to provide
approximately 250,000 acre-feet (AF) per year of firm
yield to meet a portion of the projected water supply
needs of southeastern Wyoming and the Front Range of
Colorado. In Wyoming, approximately 25,000 AF would be
delivered annually to water users in the Platte River Basin.
The remaining 225,000 AF of water would be delivered
annually to the South Platte and Arkansas River basins in
Colorado. The potential water users would be agriculture,
municipalities and industries. Prior to construction of the
proposed Project, MCRG is seeking Federal authorizations
from the US Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha District
(COE), US Bureau of Land Management, US Bureau of
Reclamation, and US Forest Service. Preparation of an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is being completed
by a third -party EIS contractor, AECOM. The lead Federal
agency is the COE.

The water would be delivered via a large pipeline (between
72 to 120 inches in diameter) extending from two points of
diversion (POD) in Wyoming to a storage facility at the end
of the pipeline system near Pueblo, Colorado. The Project
would involve water withdrawal from the Green River and
the Flaming Gorge Reservoir using intake facilities at the
diversion points. From the PODs, water would be pumped
through an approximately 560 -mile long pipeline. Water
storage is currently anticipated at Lake Hattie Reservoir
located west of Laramie, Wyoming; the proposed Cactus Hill
Reservoir site located northeast of Fort Collins, Colorado;
and a new storage reservoir site (T -Cross Reservoir) located
near Pueblo, Colorado. A new regulating reservoir also
would be located near the Green River -end of the pipeline
system. Water treatment facilities would be part of the intake
systems and water storage reservoirs.
