Annual Delivery: 15,339 AF <br />Interest Rate: 1.75% Term: 30 years <br />The Terrace Irrigation Company (Company), responsible for supplying irrigation water to its shareholders <br />for irrigation of 9,300 acres of agricultural lands, is also an active participant in the Alamosa River <br />Instream Flow Project. The ISF Project is intended to restore flows and replace natural resources <br />damaged by mining operations in the upper reaches of the Alamosa River. The Company relies on <br />Terrace Reservoir to meet its irrigation demands throughout the later part of the irrigation season. The <br />reservoir is currently under a restriction order from the SEO, reducing its available capacity by 2,000 AF. <br />This project will replace the existing spillway and remove the SEO restriction order. Funding for this <br />project includes grant money from WSRA ($1,500,000) and the Summitville Natural Resource Damage <br />(NRD) account ($2,000,000). In return for NRD funding, the Company has agreed to donate 2,000 AF of <br />storage in Terrace Reservoir towards instream flow storage to further the efforts of the ISF Project. <br />
