that approximately 26,700 acre feet of water was diverted through the TIC in 2009. This <br />� amount fluctuates annually according to the amount of precipitation received. <br />The service azea for TIC is located in Northern Costilla County, Colorado. (Illustrations a <br />and b). TIC is responsible for the delivery of water decreed for irrigation purposes to <br />approximately 100 sprinkler pivots and several thousand acres of flood irrigated land. <br />The total irrigated farm land served by the Trinchera Irrigation Company is <br />appro�umately 14, 100 acres and has remained relatively stable over the years. The <br />irrigated acreage within the service area is primarily used to grow potatoes, small grains, <br />and alfalfa hay. <br />Hydrology and Water Rights <br />A list of water rights is found in Appendix B. <br />Project Description <br />The project invalves <br />• the installation of appmximately 23001inear feet of 36" ADS low head irrigation <br />pipe with 4 ADS air vents <br />• renovating the concrete inlet structure with trash rack <br />• • rock rip rap outlet structure <br />Cost Estimate and Alternatives <br />Laurie A.

A copy of the bid can be found in Appendix D. <br />The TIC has been working with NRCS for securing possible EQIP funding, however, the <br />company does not own any irrigated fann land. It is not clear if the company is eligible <br />for funding from that program. If TIC is eligible and could obtain EQIl' fundi.ng the <br />projected cost of the project would be $368,500.00 <br />� <br />
