<br />County: Montezuma <br />Water Supply Reserve Account – Grant and Loan Program <br />Water Activity Summary Sheet <br /> <br /> <br />Applicant: <br />Mancos Water Conservancy District <br />Water Activity Name: <br /> Jackson Gulch Borrow pit study (Jackson Gulch Reservoir Expansion Project) <br />Water Activity Purpose: <br /> Technical Assistance (Feasibility Study) <br />County: <br /> Gunnison <br />Drainage Basin: <br /> San Juan River <br />Water Source: <br /> Mancos River <br />Amount Requested: <br /> $20,000.00 (An additional $80,000 was requested/approved from the Basin Account in <br />July 2007) <br />Source of Funds: <br />Statewide Account <br />Matching Funds: <br /> $18,000 (in-kind contributions) <br /> <br />Water Activity Summary: <br />At the July 2007 CWCB meeting, the Board approved $80,000 from the Southwest Basin Account to fund a <br />feasibility study to examine the enlargement of the Jackson Gulch Dam. In addition to the $80,000, the <br />Applicant is requesting $20,000 from the Statewide Account to fund a study to examine the feasibility of <br />constructing a new dam, reservoir and canals at the borrow area that was created during the construction of <br />the Jackson Gulch Dam. This project will provide additional water from the estimated 2,000 acre-feet <br />additional water stored by the proposed enlargement of the Jackson Gulch Dam. <br /> <br />The Mancos Water Conservancy District is within Montezuma County and the Mancos River Drainage <br />(Mancos Valley). The District serves about 15,000 acres of the Mancos Valley, including the Town of <br />Mancos and the surrounding rural community. The District operates the Jackson Gulch Dam and Reservoir <br />with almost 5 miles of inlet/outlet canals. The existing reservoir is an off-stream reservoir with a capacity of <br />10,000 acre-feet behind a rock-faced earthen dam. District water is used for irrigation, municipal, <br />hydroelectric, recreation, livestock, wildlife, environmental projects, wetlands mitigation and fire protection. <br />The population of the District is approximately 2,350 and is growing moderately. Land use is primarily <br />ranching and farming. The local area has three water treatment facilities, the Town of Mancos, the Mesa <br />Verde National Park and the Mancos Rural Water Company, which together serve approximately 1200 <br />domestic and commercial water taps. <br /> <br />Following the general trend of the state, the Mancos Valley is experiencing a shift in demographics. <br />Agricultural lands are being subdivided. Demands for new water are changing from primarily agricultural <br />to commercial and household purposes. The Mancos Valley is a potential bedroom community for the <br />Durango area held back by the lack of water to treat for domestic purposes. <br /> <br /> 1 <br /> <br />
