<br />CWCB Construction Fund Loan Application <br /> <br />Question 4 Attachment <br /> <br />The Upper Platte and Beaver Canal Company diverts water from the South Platte River <br />for delivery to its shareholders. The Upper Platte & Beaver canal is approximately 35 <br />miles in length located on the South side of the South Platte River in Morgan County. <br />The UPBCC also diverts augmentation through its canal into two main recharge ponds at <br />times when irrigation water is not needed by shareholders. The UPBCC is not currently. <br />experiencing any serious operational or maintenance problems. A map of the UPBCC can <br />be found with their CWCB Emergency Loan Application from March of2002. <br /> <br />Question 5 Attachment <br /> <br />The UPBCC wishes to build two additional recharge ponds to be filled from the UPB <br />canal under their current Augmentation Decree. An existing canal turnout will be <br />converted and equipped with a measuring device for releases into the first proposed pond. <br />Water will be spilled through the dam of the first pond into the second pond. Each dam <br />will have a gate for controlled augmentation releases back to Badger Creek. Each dam <br />will also have any emergency spillway back to Badger .Creek. The UPBCC wishes to <br />generate more augmentation credits through the new ponds. The amount of current <br />augmentation credits is not sufficient to cover depletions from the 97 wells found under <br />the UPB system. The UPBCC also wishes to construct 4 measuring weirs at the ends of <br />its system to properly track water leaving the canal system. <br />
