CWCB Construction Loan Program <br />Project Data Sheet <br />Borrower: New Salida Ditch Company <br />Project Name: Ditch Pipeline Project <br />Drainage Basin: Arkansas <br />Total Project Cost: $402,000 <br />Type of Borrower: Agricultural <br />Loan Amount: $365,620 (including 1% service fee) <br />County: Chaffee <br />Project Type: Ditch Piping <br />Water Source: Arkansas River <br />Funding Sources: Company &CWCB <br />Average Diversion: 7,000 acre-feet <br />Interest Rate: 2.5% Term: 30 years <br />The New Salida Ditch Company owns and operates the New Salida Ditch (Ditch) to deliver water to <br />agricultural users from the Arkansas River (River) through a diversion in Browns Canyon. The <br />diversion is located 10 miles north of Salida and is approximately eight miles from its diversion to <br />its end at Ute Gulch. In Browns Canyon, the Ditch runs parallel to the River for 1.25 miles. This <br />section has historically been difficult for the Company to maintain and has suffered frequent breaks <br />resulting in costly repairs and discharges of sand and gravel into the River. In 2005, during <br />maintenance repairs, the Ditch broke and gravel was accidently deposited into the River resulting in <br />a citation from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE). As a <br />resolution of this dispute, the Company and CDPHE entered into an agreement requiring the <br />Company to enclose a portion of the Ditch to prevent the potential for future discharges of material <br />due to ditch breaks in this area. Through this Project, the Company will install approximately 3,200 <br />feet of 42 inch pipe along the existing ditch profile. Construction will begin in February 2009 with <br />completion in the spring of 2009. <br />~1 i C ~ ~ cti~ri " s <br />ul~,~°~wr+"" ;~"3 ; .n ?ate ~ ,, ~b. 4 <br />r" ~ <br />~ F <br />~ f . <br />.y~^~~'nro aaaw """aa"ro"ow"'"' ~`w.- '~ ~ / ~~4_"_"'~'~"k;~~ <br />qY ~JR~~.@s '° "'~°, ~~ Graf r.pa+ ~ '®.`- ~~ ~ -.'- <br />sick a~ ~..'c~-w- r"~'n",, ~ '"'-" f ^ ~ <br />Location Map <br />
