The Reservoir is on land owned by <br />the State Land Board and is leased, operated, and/maintained by the Tom Hill family. On June 17, 2006 the <br />outlet works failed and the embanlanent of the reservoir began piping through the dam. The Hills received a <br />verbal breach order from the SEO in the summer of 2006, which resulted in a total dam replacement project. <br />The existing dam was then breached during the fall of 2006. Final design was completed in the winter of <br />2006/07 and was approved by SEO in spring of 2007. Project commenced construction during the summer <br />of 2007 and was completed in March of 2008. SEO approved the construction in summer of 2008. The <br />DOW purchased the Hill's ranch under a conservation easement in May of 2008, with the Hill family still <br />operating the ranch. The Hill's are currently pursuing the sale of the ranch with the conservation easement. <br />If the Hill's sell the ranch, CWCB's loan will be paid off at that time. The reservoir filled and spilled this <br />year and is currently operating as designed. <br />Project Data <br />Sponsor: Tom and Linda Hill County: Grand Water Source: Pass Creek <br />Terms of Loan: $862,540@2.0% for 11 yrs.
