Water Supply Reserve Account - Grant Application Form <br />Fonn Revised May 2007 <br />the Weldon Valley shares. Per Case Number 91CW0073, we estimate that 55.78 acre feet of <br />consumptive use is associated with each share for a total of just over 111 acre feet per year. At this <br />point it is bit hard to predict the yield for the well; however, the river was in an augmentation <br />condition for more than 60 days this winter-spring season which would have allowed the Bridge <br />Farm to augment approximately 330 acre feet of water. <br />HAWK SPRINGS WETLAND RESTORATION <br />Hawk Springs is located on Duck Creek SWA north of Crook, CO in Logan County. The <br />project has a 1,500 ac-ft conditional water right out of Duck Creek which terminates at the Harmony <br />Canal. Ducks Unlimited has been working with the CDOW and NAWCA for several years to apply <br />the water to wetlands on this property. We have now completed a survey and design and are ready <br />to build the project. Of interest to the CWCB is that the property will meet recreational objectives of <br />SWSI as well as add storage facilities that can be operated similarly to Tamarack SWA for the <br />PRRIP. <br />DU in coordination with the CDOW is working on the development of water rights on the State <br />Wildlife Area. DU and CDOW have identified this area as having the potential to be an important <br />wetland complex. The benefits to wildlife include spring and fall migratory habitat, as well as <br />wintering habitat for waterfowl and other water birds. Deer, pheasant and rabbits are also known to <br />utilize the SWA. <br />Duck Creek SWA was serviced by the Twin Buttes Ditch which gets its water from the North <br />Sterling outlet. The ditch was taken out of operation and converted to agricultural field by an <br />adjoining landowner. This design incorporates the installation of pipeline to replace the section of <br />ditch that no longer exists, under the adjoining landowner's center pivot field. <br />CDOW has a conditional water right for the construction of the Hawk Springs Reservoir. The <br />proposed embankment for Hawk Springs is located on Duck Creek SWA and its approximate <br />location is shown on the project topography sheet. This reservoir water right is considerably larger <br />than what is shown here (see table). Due to funding and regulatory constraints, it was decided to <br />develop a plan that was more constructible. This plan shows locations for 5 ponds on the SWA. The <br />ponds are designed to incorporate varying depths of water, while maximizing water surface area with <br />depths of less than 18", the preferred feeding depth for dabbling ducks. Since the SWA resides in an <br />area of steep terrain, ponds vary in depth up to 5 feet deep. <br />Hawk Springs Wetland <br />Restoration <br />Pond <br />Acres Acre-ft <br />Surface Area Volume <br />6.4 11.4 <br />18
