Alamosa-La Jara Water Conservancy District January 26-27,2000 Agenda Item 12b. 2. Survey each sub-project area. 3. Develop a specific reconstruction design for each sub-project area. 4. Submit specific designs to the Army Corps of Engineers for approval. 5. Secure a rock source, and haul rock to the site. 6. Construct each sub project. 7. Select monitoring sites. Monitor water levels, river velocity, and bedload. Discussion A-LJWCD has received (or is expecting approval of) cash grants and in-kind services of over $400,000 from a number of sources, for the Alamosa River Watershed Project. The Project has proceeded with the cooperation and assistance of local landowners, as well as a broad range of local, State, and Federal agencies. The project needs an additional $527,000 to complete the restoration. The focus of Project efforts is a 4-mile section of river in the vicinity of Capulin, as well as a 3.5-mile section upstream of Highway 285. A grant from the CWCS in amount of $300,000 would greatly assist in the completion of 37 sub-projects within the high priority areas of the river. Recommendation Staff recommends a grant in amount of $300,000 to the Alamosa-La Jara Water Conservancy District for the Alamosa River Watershed Project. This grant will be used for engineering and construction costs associated with Phases 1,2, and 3 reconstruction of the Alamosa River, as defined in the scope of work. Staff further recommends that approval of the grant be contingent upon CWCB Staff approval of the final scope of work, and review of the specific project design. cc: John Shawcroft, President Alamosa-La Jara Water Conse,rvancy District, PO Box 255, La Jara, CO 81140 Linda Bassi, AGO Attachment C:\ W P51 \Proj-New\AlamosaRiverGrant 1 OOmemo L:\boardmem\jan99\ 12b-JanOO 5
