Since 1956, the coal-fired Carbon Power Plant diverted water for evaporative cooling, fully consuming the volume withdrawn. A portion of the power plant’s water right is now available from the Carbon Canal Company, which currently holds the water right. This project proposes to move the water right point of diversion (POD) approximately 25 miles upstream of the power plant POD and assign it to the outlet of Scofield Dam. This would assign the consumptive power plant water right to benefit Lower Fish Creek and the Price River and result in up to 2 cfs being released from Scofield in November to enhance depleted instream flows. This water right would be processed through the Utah State Engineers Office to provide ten years of instream winter flow benefit to the Price and Colorado River systems. The winter releases from Scofield Reservoir will benefit a) Lower Fish Creek and the Price River and b) also flow downstream to the Green and Colorado Rivers—and ultimately to mainstem reservoirs. Additionally, the 2 cfs water right is part of a larger 6-month water right that the plant used for operations.
