Exhibit A-1 <br />Statement of Work <br />WATER ACTIVITY NAME — Santa Maria Siphon & Canal System Rehabilitation <br />GRANT RECIPIENT — Santa Maria Reservoir Company <br />FUNDING SOURCE — Water Supply Reserve Account 25% of total project costs <br />CWCB Water Projects Loan Program 75% of total project costs <br />INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND <br />Santa Maria Reservoir Company owns and operates Continental Reservoir (27,000 AF) and Santa <br />Maria Reservoir (43,500 AF), located in the Rio Grande River Basin near Creede, Colorado. Santa <br />Maria and Continental operate in conjunction with each other via a century old conveyance system <br />made up of a pipeline, siphon, and open ditch. For the past 20 years, Continental has been under a <br />storage restriction due to seepage issues, limiting the storage to 15,000 AF. The Company is planning a <br />two phased approach to rehabilitate its system. The first phase (the subject of this funding request) is the <br />rehabilitation of the conveyance system between the reservoirs including repairs to the siphon and <br />lining of the canal. <br />OBJECTIVES <br />The purpose of this project is to implement the 1st phase of a multi -phase project by upgrading the <br />conveyance system, with the ultimate objective of removing State - imposed storage restrictions on <br />Continental Reservoir. Restoring full operating efficiency to the conveyance system between <br />Continental and Santa Maria reservoirs will help manage irrigation water more effectively. It will also: <br />improve the delivery of Rio Grande Compact water; prevent further deterioration of water - control assets <br />and reducing maintenance needs; improve flood control capability and providing flexibility in <br />responding to drought; maximize the total capacity of ditch and pipeline when water is available for <br />storage; increase options to serve third parry water storage needs; maintain favorable wildlife habitat <br />conditions; and will continue to provide public and private recreational opportunities. <br />TASKS <br />TASK 1— Siphon Support System Stabilization <br />Description of Task <br />This task includes mobilization, site preparation work, erosion control, clearing and grubbing, <br />demolition of thrust blocks and intermediate supports, reinforcement of thrust blocks, fabrication <br />and installation of new steel bearing plates, removal of loose rocks and boulders, and includes <br />permitting, admin and engineering during construction. <br />Method/Procedure <br />Santa Maria Reservoir Company will solicit proposals for construction of the siphon support <br />system stabilization and enter into a construction services contract. <br />Deliverable <br />Completed improvements. As -built drawings. <br />
