<br />. <br /> <br />8. FUNDING SOURCES <br /> <br />At a meeting held with the ditch owners on January 22, 1999, they indicated that they would be <br />prepared to borrow from Colorado Water Conservation Board approximately $300,000 as their <br />share of th~ project cost. <br />The Upper Yampa Water District has engaged the service of Kogovsek and Associates to pursue <br />a grant from a federal agency concerned with the kind of stream degradation the temporary <br />gravel diversions cause. A likely agency is the Army Corps of Engineers. The request is <br />$1,500,000. The Colorado River Water Conservation District is vitally interested in eliminating <br />these gravel dams and will be counted on for a grant of $15,000, a figure they donated in the past <br />for similar but smaller projects. The Nature Conservancy, owner of the Marshall-Roberts ditch, <br />is being asked to commit to $100,000. Finally, the District will fund the balance provided its <br />contribution does not exceed 75% of the total cost. . <br /> <br />It should be noted that NRCS and the Bureau of Reclamation would and have contributed . <br />engineering and field surveying with an estimated worth of25% of the construction cost or <br />approximately $725,000. The Bureau of Reclamation has contributed $50,000 in field surveys. <br /> <br />Summary: <br />RanchersIDitch owners <br />The Nature Conservancy <br />Colorado River Conservation District <br />Federal Grant <br />Upper Yampa District <br /> <br />Alternative V <br />$ 300,000 <br />$ 100,000 <br />$ 15,000 <br />$1,500,000 <br />$1.073.000 <br />$2,988,000 <br /> <br />Alternative IIA <br />$ 300,000 <br />$ 100,000 <br />$ 15,000 <br />$1,500,000 <br />$ 647.000 <br />$2,562,000 <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />9.
