with GLIC for the use of the Big Barnes Ditch and Lake Loveland to deliver water to the Seven <br />Lakes system. <br />Horseshoe Lake was formed when the dam between Lake No. 1 and Lake No. 2 was breached to <br />develop a larger storage unit. The Seven Lakes Company constructed the filler ditch from Lake <br />Loveland to Horseshoe Lake. Horseshoe Lake can convey water to the remaining lakes, listed <br />below, down to the Loveland Greeley Canal, and to Boyd Lake. <br />• Lake No. 3 aka Westerdoll Lake <br />• Lake No. 4 aka Heinricy Lake <br />• Lake No. 6 aka Upper Hoffman Lake <br />• Lake No. 7 aka Lower Hoffman Lake <br />Lake No. 3 (aka Westerdoll Lake) is filled by a lateral from the Louden Ditch and is currently <br />used by the city of Loveland to irrigate parks and the nearby cemetery. Lake Nos. 3, 4, 6, and 7 <br />have a total physical capacity of about 600 ac-ft. They are predominantly used for storm water <br />detention but also serve as regulating reservoirs in the conveyance of water from Horseshoe Lake <br />to the Loveland Greeley Canal or to Boyd Lake. <br />Capacity: <br />Total Storage: 7,796 ac-ft <br />Active Storage: 7,398 ac-ft <br />Dead Storage: 398 ac-ft <br />Inlet Ditch Capacity: The Horseshoe Lake filler ditch is restricted to 400 cfs due to a <br />conveyance restriction under the Burlington Northern railroad bridge. Conveyance <br />capacities for water from Horseshoe Lake through the remaining lakes are limited into <br />Boyd Lake (400 cfs) or the Loveland Greeley Canal (100 cfs). Horseshoe Lake can be <br />filled by gravity from Lake Loveland. <br />Elevation Capacity Data: An elevation-capacity curve for the reservoir was provided by the <br />GLIC. A subset of points from the curve is provided in Table 2. <br />Greeley Loveland Irrigation Company Operating Memorandum.doc 9 of 18 January 5, 2005 <br />
