The <br />Lower South Platte Water Conservancy District (Enterprise) operates groundwater recharge <br />facilities to provide augmentation water for District well owners. Additional recharge and <br />augmentation is needed prior to the summer 2001 irrigation season to avoid possible curtailment <br />of junior wells by the State Engineer. The average annual volume diverted is 1,500 acre-feet. <br />The Lower South Platte Water Conservancy District was formed in accordance with the Water <br />Conservation Act of Colorado. Jon Altenhofen, P,E., of the NCWCD has completed a final draft <br />feasibility study. Proposed funding for the project consists of a CWCS Small Project Loan for <br />$100,000, and in-kind services and supplies from NCWCD and SPLRG valued at $20,000. <br /> <br />Location Map <br />on following page. <br /> <br />5 <br />
