. . e. .- Terms of Loan: $666,0000 2.5% for 30 yrs. Rehabilitation Project Type: Reservoir The Bijou Irrigation District owns and operates Empire Reservoir located west of Fort Morgan. It is an off-stream reservoir primarily impounded by four separate dams constructed around 1905. The water storage rights are 37,709 acre-feet and there is on refill right. The storage volume at gauge height 30 is 36/142 acre-feet. Currently the reservoir is restricted to gage height 29 by the State Engineer's Office due to seepage concerns and spillway inadequacies. This project will involve the construction of a new 40-foot wide spillway and outfall channel with a crest elevation of 30 feet. The 1 foot increase in storage height will result in 2,682 acre-feet of recovered storage. The project was awarded to Northridge Construction and Dirt Doctors out of Longmont, Colorado in September of 2006. The project is approximately 90% complete. 29. Logan Irrigation District - Prewitt Reservoir Spillway Construction Authorization: Severance Tax Fund Water Source: South Platte River Terms of Loan: $505,OOO@2.35% for 20 yrs. County: Morgan/Logan/W ash. Project Yield: 32,300 AF Project Type: Spillway Construction LID was formed in 1910 and operates under the Irrigation District Law of 1905, levying an acreage assessment to its members. The reservoir provides supplemental irrigation water for approximately 28,000 acres, well augmentation, and recreation. Average annual diversions to the reservoir are 40,160 acre feet, and average annual delivery to landowners is approximately 18,400 acre feet. The reservoir is an off-stream reservoir constructed in 1910-12. The dam is a Medium Size, Class 1 Dam, with a height of 36 feet at GH 35.5/ and a length of 3.5 miles. Maximum storage is 32,300 acre feet (GH 28.0), but the reservoir is currently restricted to 28/600 acre feet (GH 26.5). The lake has a surface area of 2300 acres at the restricted level. The outlet works is located in the NW corner of the reservoir, and a low depression in the SW corner operates as a natural open-channel emergency spillway. The proposed emergency pipe spillway will address SEO dam safety concerns. The project will construct an emergency spillway to provide unrestricted overflow to pass the 75% PMP, without overtopping the dam. Construction will include a 250 foot long, 72-inch RCP spillway with an overflow structure upstream of the dam, an energy dissipation structure at the terminal end of the pipe, and a short channel to the Prewitt outlet canal. Project has been completed and approved by the SEO. The reservoir has filled and project substantial completion is scheduled for June of 2006. 30.
