<br />in Weld County, generally within the City of Greeley and east of the City. GIC operate s the
<br />Greeley Canal No. 3, constructed in 1870 by the Union Colony . About 1,100 acres of the 3,500
<br />original irrigated acres have been subject to dry - up, and water converted to augmentation use.
<br />Present canal usage is roughly 1/3 City of Greeley, 1/3 agri cultural irrigation, and 1/3
<br />augmentation. GIC facilities consist of a river diversion structure, approximately 13 miles of
<br />earthen canal, check structures, delivery headgates, spill structures, trash screens, and other minor
<br />structures. A portion of th ese facilities are in need of repair, upgrades, or replacement. The GIC
<br />Board is undertaking a number of phased improvements to the canal including: 1) repairs to, and
<br />partial replacement of, the river diversion; 2) piping or lining of portions of the can al; 3)
<br />consideration of canal automation using supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA)
<br />equipment; 4) tree removal and tree pruning; 5) canal realignment, reshaping, and straightening;
<br />and 6) removal or repair of selected headgates and installation of new headgates. The overall
<br />project is 85 % and the Company has just recently completed the replacement of their diversion
<br />structure on the Poudre River. The Company is currently working on their SCADA system and
<br />the realignment and reshaping of vario us sections of existing channel. The overall project is
<br />anticipated to be completed by July 2010.

<br />Terms of Loan: $2,184,327@2.25 % for 30 yrs. Projec t Type: Reservoir Rehab.
<br />The HID was formed in 1907 Irrigation District Law of 1905, and consists of 32,745 acres of
<br />irrigated farm land in Weld County. The HID di verts water through the Burlington Canal
<br />Headworks on the South Platte River, extending 16 miles to and past Barr Lake. From Barr Lake
<br />the Denver - Hudson Canal continues 25 miles to Horse Creek Reservoir, and then continues
<br />another 25 miles to Prospect Re servoir . Horse Creek Reservoir was constructed in 1910, and is a
<br />High Hazard, Class 1 earth fill dam, with a dam height of 64 feet, a length of 4800 lineal feet, and
<br />a crest width of 16 feet. There is a 200 foot wide earth - lined spillway. The decreed st orage right
<br />is 19,515 AF, but normal storage is 18,747 acre feet. The outlet works consist of 3 x 48”
<br />diameter steel conduits. The proposed project will provide a lining for the outlet works, install
<br />additional toe drainage, and resurface and re - grade th e dam crest. Prospect Reservoir was
<br />constructed in 1914, and is a Significant Hazard, Class 2 earth dam, with a dam height of 43.5
<br />feet, a length of 5,301 lineal feet, and a crest width of 20 feet. There is a 250 wide concrete and

<br />feet. The outlet works consist of a 48” concrete pipe that narrows to about 30” downstream of the
<br />control gate, due to previous re - lining projects. The reservoir is currently rest ricted to 1.5 feet
<br />below the historic maximum stage, due to concerns about the stability of the downstream slope of
<br />the dam. The proposed project will provide a lining for the outlet works, and resurface and re -
<br />grade the dam crest . Zak Dirt Construction has completed reconstruction of outlet channel and
<br />has regarded the dam crest on Horse Creek Reservoir. On Prospect reservoir the outlet pipe has
<br />been lined with regarding of the dam crest yet to be completed. The Company is also evaluating
<br />the possibl e need to replace the existing gates at Prospect Re servoir. Overall project is 85 %
