<br />The District is a statutory Irrigation District (1905) ,and owns and operates Empire Reservoir located
<br />west of Fort Morgan in Weld and Morgan Counties. It is an off-stream reservoir primarily
<br />impounded by four separate dams constructed in about 1905. Water is diverted from the South
<br />Platte River through the Empire Intake Ditch. The �water storage rights are 37,709 acre-feet and
<br />there is one refill right. The water storage at gage height (GH) 30.0 is 36,142 AF. The reservoir has
<br />been re-restricted to a GH 29.0 by the SEO due to wind erosion problems along the east
<br />embankment. The proposed project consists of repairing failed sections of parapet walls, removing
<br />trees along the upstream toe of the dam, and adding additional riprap slope stabilization. This will
<br />allow the reservoir to be filled to its full gage height. The one-foot increase in storage height will
<br />result in 2,682 AF of recovered storage. The District is a special taxing district that levies a tax per
<br />acre, with an assessment zone currently consisting of 19,177 acres. The existing levy of $18 per acre
<br />has been increased to $46.58 per acre for the CWCI31oan repayment and to cover additional
<br />maintenance.
