and enlarge Reservoir No.4. This will remoJ Ihe currenl restriction on the reservoir
I
and provide additional storage necessary to stpre the Company's decreed rights. The
I
Company has a Stipulation and Agreement w~th the SEO that requires the Company to
repair Reservoir No.4 in order to avoid abandpnment of a portion of the senior water
rights. The Project is located on the US Forest $ervice property and will require a Special
Use Permit for access roadway work and dam iconstruction. The reservoir is remote and
located at 10,000 feet elevation and will require special mobilization techniques. This
project was previously approved by the Board!in 2006, but has been re-scoped to
address SEO concerns and higher then previoJsly anticipated construction costs.
I
Construction is scheduled for the summer of 2007.

The Seven Lakes Reservoir Company (SLRC) aild its sister company Greeley and
I
Loveland Irrigation Company (GLlC), own and operate an extensive system of
I
reservoirs and canals in the Loveland and Greeley area. GLIC owns 4 reservoirs
I
(including Lake Loveland and Boyd Lake) and SLRC owns 5 reservoirs (including
I
Horseshoe Lake, immediately adjacent to Boyd Lake.). SLRC uses GLIC's Big Barnes
Ditch to fill Horseshoe Reservoir. Water is car~ied in the Big Barnes Ditch and
discharges into Lake Loveland at a decreed ratelof 1000 cfs. SLRC desires to remove and
replace an existing deteriorated 5-tunnel railroa~ crossing structure with a new bridge in
order to safely move 1,000 cfs from the Big ThoIhpson River through Lake Loveland to
I
Horseshoe Reservoir, thus removing a serious bottleneck in the flow path of water. This
project will install a new pre-fabricated railroad !bridge based on BNSF Railroad design
requirements. Construction will occur while the track remains in continuous service,
I
with trains expected on a frequency of one about every six hours. Bridge support
pilings will be driven during the time intervals ~hen trains are not near the site, and pile
caps constructed. Rails, ties and ballast can thenl be removed and the prefabricated
I
bridge installed. Work is anticipated to commence in the fall of 2007 and be completed
by November of 2007. !
