2. Many of the entities, especially, irrigators are unlikely to <br />apply for feasibility study funds on a loan-basis. This report <br />suggests that the CWCB return to the past policy where feasibility <br />study funds are forgiven, if a feasible development is not found. <br />If the feasibility study results in development, the study costs <br />are added to the construction loan. <br />3. The Study showed that there are several potential enlargements <br />or new dams in the idea stage which are not moving forward because <br />of personnel time. The staff, if any, of small sponsoring entities <br />are busy with operations and do not have time to formulate plans, <br />involve engineers and process the CWCB requirements. Also, the <br />smaller entities are reluctant to pay for engineering services and <br />were very receptive to having the CWCB send an engineer to evaluate <br />their situation. It is these smaller entities who benefitted the <br />most from this Study, and who will probably need assistance to <br />prepare and process the CWCB requirements, possibly followed by <br />engineering assistance for plans and designs. <br />4. The Study also showed that there are many entities with <br />restricted dams who do not have the time nor funds to correct the <br />problems. Many of the dam repairs do not require much cost to <br />prepare engineering designs or construction. Design of a toe drain <br />or determination of the PMF for the spillway, are typical plans and <br />specifications. Major reconstruction is needed on Less than half <br />of the restricted dams. Many people wanted to convey the message _._ <br />that the water storage infrastructure needs repair to maintain the <br />present water usage. <br />5. In order to follow up on the sites identified in this Study, <br />the CWCB will need to continue to provide assistance to the small <br />entities. The CWCB staff can provide assistance to entities around <br />Denver but do not have the time to assist entities in the western <br />part of the State (Water Divisions 3, 4, 7 and part of 5) because <br />of travel time. This report suggests that the CWCB consider <br />retaining a consultant, or re-instituting a CWCB engineering staff <br />member, in the western part of the state to assist entities. <br />It is further suggested that if a consultant, the firm be retained <br />for one year at a time with annual renewals if the work is <br />progressing satisfactorily, for a maximum of 3 or 4 years. The <br />CWCB selection process requires too much time and staff effort to <br />select a consultant each year if the work is satisfactory. <br />The west slope CWCB representative would: (a) assist in preparing <br />and processing any CWCB administrative requirements associated with <br />the follow up of dams identified in this Study, (b) coordinate with <br />water users, Division Engineers and dam safety inspectors to <br />continue to identify potential new dams or enlargement of existing <br />dams, and (c) coordinate with the dam safety inspectors to <br />determine what is necessary to repair restricted dams and if <br />appropriate implement plans to make the repairs. <br />Small Dam Site Recon.
