<br />. <br /> <br />cweB Construction Loan Program <br />Project Data Sheet <br /> <br />Borrower: Republican River Water Conservation Dist. County: Yuma, Phillips, Kit Carson, <br />Lincoln, Logan, Sedgwick, Washington <br />Project Name: Compact Compliance Pipeline Project Type: Conveyance System <br /> <br />Drainage Basin: South Platte/Republican <br /> <br />Water Source: Ground Water Well <br /> <br />Total Project Cost: $71 million <br /> <br />Funding Sources: CWCB, District <br />Farm Credit (Bridge Loan) <br />Average Delivery: 15,000 AF <br /> <br />Type of Borrower: Agricultural <br /> <br />Loan Amount: $60,600,000 (Including 1% fee) Interest Rate: 2.00% <br /> <br />Term: 20 years <br /> <br />In December 2002, Colorado entered into a Stipulation with Kansas and Nebraska to address the <br />U.S. Supreme Court case of Kansas v. Nebraska and Colorado. Colorado agreed to develop a <br />ground water model to determine stream flow depletions caused by well pumping in the Basin and <br />to a five-year running average to determine compliance with the Republican River Compact. In <br />2007, the State had exceeded its allocation under the Compact by an average of 11,350 AF/yr. To <br />solve the problem the District elected to acquire ground water rights with a historical consumptive <br />of 15,000 AF/yr. This water will be delivered to the North Fork of the Republican River via a <br />Compact Compliance Pipeline to the stream gage at the Colorado-Nebraska state line to offset <br />stream depletions. The District is requesting a loan from the CWCS in the amount of $60 million to <br />finance the engineering, construction and water acquisition related to the Pipeline Project. The <br />loan represents approximately 85% of the estimated $71 million total cost of the Project. Final <br />design is expected to start in the spring of 2008 and construction is scheduled for 2008 & 2009. <br /> <br />West-to-East Pipeline <br />and West Well Field <br />Not Currently Needed <br /> <br />· 'MtEAOF NEW <br />;;.
