Water storage rights were decreed in <br />Fossil Creek Reservoir in Civil Action No. 1591 by the District Court, Larimer County, State of <br />Colorado, on December 9, 1904 and in Case Nos. 2031 and 11217 by the District Court, <br />Larimer County, State of Colorado, on April 22, 1922 and September 10, 1953, respectively. <br />Fossil Creek Reservoir stores water tributary to the Cache la Poudre River and is located in <br />Section 10, T6N, R68W, 6th P.M. (immediately west of 1-25 between Loveland and Fort Collins.) <br />Storage right appropriation dates and amounts are as shown in the following table: <br /> <br /> <br />Adjudication Date <br /> <br />Appropriation Date <br /> <br />Amount (ac-ft) <br /> <br />A ril 22, 1922 <br />Se tember 10, 1953 <br />Se tember 10, 1953 <br />September 10,,1953 <br /> <br /> <br />March 5, 1901 <br />March 5, 1901 <br />June 1, 1904 <br />June 1, 1904 <br /> <br />The GIC receives about 1300-1400 acre feet annually from Fossil Creek Reservoir. Combined <br />delivery from direct flow diversions and Fossil Creek Reservoir storage is estimated to be about <br />18,000 AF. Historical average annual consumptive use of GIC water is 5,358 acre-feet, or <br />10.31 AF per share. <br /> <br />Proiect Description <br /> <br />Elements of the proposed project were developed in a series of work sessions with the GIC <br />Soard of Directors. Several aspects of the improvements are under continued discussion and <br />final recommendations and detailed designs, when appropriate, will not be made until the <br />engineering work is initiated following CWCS loan approval. <br /> <br />, 1. River Diversion Improvements - A key component of the anticipated improvements is the <br />repair and partial replacement of GIC's diversion on the Cache la Poudre River. The <br />existing diversion structure shows signs of concrete deterioration, one of the three gates <br />is stuck in a closed position, and the silt gate is not adequate. Last year, a crane had to <br />be mobilized to the river diversion in order to remove a large tree trunk that was lodged <br />on the upstream side of the structure. The weir across the river is considered to be in <br /> <br />30f6 <br />
