<br />3. Please provide an overview of water project or activity to be funded including - type of activity, statement of what
<br />the activity is intended to accomplish, the need for the activity, the problems and opportunities to be addressed,
<br />expectations of the participants, why the activity is important, the service area or geographic location, and any
<br />relevant issues etc. Please include any relevant Tabor issues. Please refer to Part 2 of criteria and guidance
<br />document for additional detail on information to include. Attach additional sheets as needed.
<br />
<br />The UYWCD proposed to construct an up to 5,000 ac-ft reservoir on Morrison Creek to provide additional
<br />water storage in the basin and a surface water supply to the Morrison Creek Water and Sanitation District.
<br />Morrison Creek Water and Sanitation District (MCW&S) serves a fast growing area which contains the
<br />largest number of platted and un-built lots in Routt County (Figure I). Currently served only by wells the
<br />MCW &8 would like a surface water source that could be supplied by gravity to its customers. Concept
<br />planning shows a potentially suitable dam site below the confluence of Morrison and Silver Creeks that
<br />could provide approximately 5,000 acre feet of storage (Figure 2). This is with a water surface at the
<br />elevation ofthe saddle between the Morrison Creek and Little Morrison Creek Drainage where MCW &S
<br />serves customers.
<br />
<br />The UYWCD has water rights which can be changed for storage at this project and will acquire additional
<br />rights if needed. We have also completed detailed aerial surveys on which the conceptual work is based.
<br />This proposal would provide funding for preliminary work regarding water quality, geotechnical and
<br />environmental planning. The Morrison Creek drainage includes a tributary, Muddy Creek that at times
<br />contributes considerable turbidity to the drainage. We will evaluate the suspended sediment load and its"
<br />treatment potential as a potable water source. Preliminary environmental work including wetland studies~
<br />preliminary geotechnical work are included in this proposal.
