<br />Water Project Construction Loan Program - Project Data Sheet <br /> <br />Borrower: <br /> <br />Larimer and Weld Irrigation Co. <br /> <br />County: Weld <br /> <br />Project Name: Larimer and Weld Ditch (Eaton) Project Type: Rehabilitation/Replacement <br /> <br />Drainage Basin: South Platte Water Source: Cache la Poudre, CBT <br /> <br />Total Project Cost: $1,666,700 Funding Sources: CWCB <br /> <br />Type of Borrower: Agricultural Aver. Delivery: 90,000 acre-feet <br /> <br />CWCB STTFPBA Loan: $1,500,000 <br /> <br />Interest Rate: 2.50% <br /> <br />Term: 30 years <br /> <br />The Larimer and Weld Irrigation Company (LWIC) operates a system of approximately 40 miles of <br />supply ditch, including control structures, checks and headgates. The LWIC service area extends <br />from the Cache la Poudre diversion north of Fort Collins east to near the town of Galeton, <br />encompassing approximately 86,000 acres, 55,000 acres of which are irrigated farm land. The <br />Company has direct flow rights from their diversion in the Cache la Poudre River, and is also a <br />carrier ditch for reservoir water owned by their stockholders and stockholders in several other ditch <br />and reservoir companies. as well as CBT water owned by stockholders. Total water delivered <br />through the Larimer & Weld system averages approximately 90,000 acre-feet per year. The LWIC <br />is applying for a $1,500,000 loan to rehabilitate several structures on the Larimer & Weld Ditch <br />(Eaton Ditch), including replacing one equalizer check structure (Lake Lee Dam), replacing the Big <br />Windsor Reservoir check and inlet structure, and replacing one check structure (Finley), located <br />downstream of the existing structure. The Lake Lee Dam and the Big Windsor Inlet are concrete <br />control and conveyance structures that are in disrepair and have reached obsolescence. With the <br />failure of these two structures, LWIC would have a difficult time operating the ditch and would lose <br />water that is normally stored in the reservoir. The Finley check structure has no means to apply <br />stop logs or other measures to temporarily check the ditch and is undermined at the base slab and <br />side walls. <br /> <br /> <br />10 \_ ". <br />lPierte <br /> <br />\ <br /> <br /> <br />..t.... r r <br />\ .,'~. 1 <br />" <br />'. <br />\ <br /> <br />.f <br />';' <br /> <br />:;=--~, <br /> <br />==C;! <br /> <br />Location Map <br />
