<br />Water Supply Reserve Account - Grant Application Form <br /> <br />Form Revised October 2006 <br /> <br />3. Please provide an overview of water project or activity to be funded including - type of activity, statement of what <br />the activity is intended to accomplish, the need for the activity, the problems and opportunities to be addressed, <br />expectations of the participants, why the activity is ilnportant, the service area or geographic location, and any <br />relevant issues etc. Please include any relevant Tabor issues. Please refer to Part 2 of criteria and guidance <br />document for additional detail on information to include. Attach additional sheets as needed. <br /> <br />Hinsdale County and the Upper Gunnison River Water Conservancy District (UGRWCD) are <br />examining the feasibility of constructing a new permanent control structure at the outlet of lake <br />San Cristobal. This control structure would serve to regulate the lake level, provide release of <br />water from the lake, and prevent failure of the lake outlet structure during flood events. <br /> <br />The stored water resulting from this project will be used primarily for augmentation purposes within <br />the lake Fork of the Gunnison River. Other beneficial uses may include agriculture and recreation. <br />Some discussions with CWCS staff have included allocating some of the releases to support <br />instream flow water rights in the lake Fork. <br /> <br />This is the second segment of an ongoing feasibility study and consists of two analyses that will <br />be performed simultaneously. The first analysis is to estimate the firm yield of the 960 acre-feet of <br />proposed storage and develop an engineering report to support the water right application in Case <br />No. 03CW108. The second wilt analyze the current and future market for water impounded by the <br />structu re. <br /> <br />4 <br />
