Water Supply Reserve Account - Grant Application Form <br />Form Revised May 2007 <br />Pond <br />2 14.7 37.8 <br />Pond <br />3 4.9 9.8 <br />Pond <br />4 12.1 13.7 <br />Pond <br />5 4.7 12.5 <br />38.1 72.6 <br />DRAKE LAND FARMS <br />The project is located at the South Platte River near Goodrich, CO in Morgan, County. It is <br />comprised of similar habitats as mentioned for other properties in this application including riparian, <br />warm-water sloughs. The property does exhibit a retired gravel pit used to supply the county with <br />pit run gavel for roads. The pit was retired in 2007 in anticipation of a conservation easement to be <br />held with Ducks Unlimited. We have now completed the conservation easement which was bargain- <br />sale purchased by DU in June 2008. The property is protected in perpetuity. <br />The application is seeking fiinds to assist with the construction of a large wetland recharge <br />project and restored wetlands on the property and adjacent property owned by Orphan Wells of <br />Wiggins. Drake Land Farms is a member of the CCWCD sub district, which provides water to cover <br />evaporative loss from the gravel pit (94acft/year). Recently the club purchased 4 shares of Jackson <br />Lake Reservoir and Ditch Company to provide water for part of the forthcoming augmentation plan. <br />This project will place a well at the river and pump the water about one mile into the sandhills <br />owned by CCWCD. Two existing ponds will impound recharge water while it infiltrates back into <br />the aquifer. Models show a 110 day return time to the river. As part of the agreement the club will <br />provide Jackson Lake water shares in return for use of the water credits to flood wetlands and <br />irrigate small food plots. <br />The project is obviously in its infancy, but with CWCB assistance we can have a great recharge <br />project in the central river that demonstrates partnerships, provides water for the SWSI, provides <br />water for agricultural, municipal and industrial use, and meet recreational enhancement objectives as <br />well. <br />Please summarize the proposed scope of work. Please refer to Part 2 of the Criteria and Guidance document for <br />detailed requirements. On the following page there is an example format for the Scope of Work. You can use <br />the example format or -our own format, provided that comparable infonnation is included. <br />19
