GuenziFanns May 24-27, 2004 Agenda Item 21a Water Project Construction Loan Program - Project Data Borrower: Ken, Dave & John Guenzi County: Logan Project Name: Groundwater Recharge Project Project Type: Well Augmentation Drainage Basin: South Platte Water Source: Wells Total Project Cost: $368;250 Funding Sources: CWCB, Guenzis Type of Borrower: Agricultural Aver. Delivery: 2000 acre-feet (consumptive) CWCB Construction Fund Loan: $331,425 Interest Rate: 2.5% Term: 30 years Ken, Dave and John Guenzi own and operate a large group of farms in Logan County in NE Colorado, consisting of approximately 2600 acres of sprinkler and flood irrigated farm ground. Some of the ground is irrigated with direct flow water and some has reservoir water. All of the land is also irrigated with 31 tributary groundwater wells, with the majority of the land relying solely on the wells. Of the 31 wells 25 are operational at this time. Wells are currently augmented under the Logan Well Users (LWU) plan of operation, to replace depletions during times when there is a "call" on the river by a senior downstream water right. Their wells produce approximately 1510 acre-feet of summer-time depletions and approximately 960 acre-feet of winter-time depletions. The project will consist of purchasing a farm with existing recharge facilities that were previously fed only by the Pwnee Ditch. One new recharge well will be drilled and one existing well rehabilitated. The wells would pump up to a combined maximum rate of 12 cfs. This would produce up to 2000 acre-feet annually from the 2 wells. Approximately 2100 feet of 12" PVC and 4500 feet of 21" PVC piping will be installed. The CWCB loan will include only that portion of the farm purchase occupied by the existing recharge ponds (100 acres of pasture with 3 pond areas). Location Map Page 6 of 6
