i <br />-2- <br />1.0 SCOPE OF STUDY <br />This report presents the results of rehabilitation and enlargement study of the existing <br />Julesburg Reservoir and the feasibility of providing additional storage capacity by raising the <br />storage level of the existing reservoir, raising the present dams to accommodate additional <br />storage and /or by reconstruction of new dams. The location of Julesburg Reservoir is in Logan <br />and Sedgwick Counties as shown on Fig. 1. The study was.- performed in accordance with our <br />proposal to Julesburg Irrigation District, dated April 199`7. <br />A site reconnaissance was conducted to observe -the existing facilities, including the <br />embankment dams, outlet works and potential borrow sources,, and to discuss the various <br />options with Mr. Larry Frame of Julesburg Irrigation District.: The existing data, primarily <br />consisting of previous engineering studies and investigations performed by W.W. Wheeler & <br />Associates, Kumar & Associates and" ';Chen &- Associates; were reviewed for <br />geologic /geotechnical conditions, design parameters and-,the results of previous construction <br />materials testing. The results of the site reconnaissance and review of existing data were used <br />along with our experience with this facility to =arrive at different options for rehabilitation and <br />for the feasibility of storing additional water. <br />This report summarizes the results of our study, provides a cost estimate for various <br />alternatives, and presents our conclusions and recommendations. <br />2.0 HISTORY OF RESERVOIR AND DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING FACILITIES <br />2.1 General <br />Julesburg Reservoir is located in Sections 12, 13, 14 and 24, T.1 1 N., R.48W., and Sections <br />7, 8, 17, 18 and 19, T:1 1 N., R.47W.
