CWCB Construction Loan Program Project Data Sheet Borrower: Sanchez Ditch and Reservoir Co. Project Name: Sanchez Reservoir Outlet Rehabilitation Project Basin / District: Rio Grande / 24 Total Project Cost: $2,032,000 Type of Borrower: Agricultural County: Costilla Project Type: Dam Rehabilitation Water Source(s): Ventero Creek Funding Sources: Construction Fund & WSRA (Basin & Statewide funds) Average Diversions: 15,000 AF Loan Amount: $1,128,776 (Including 1% fee) Interest Rate: 1.75% Term: 30 years WSRA Grant Amounts: $55,000 Rio Grande Basin & $859,400 Statewide The Company provides irrigation water for users in Costilla County, southwest of the town of San Luis. The Company's primary storage reservoir is Sanchez Reservoir. The approximately 104,000 acre -foot reservoir was built in 1910. The reservoir's outlet includes a 135 foot tall concrete gate tower. In order to access the gates to operate the dam, a tramway /gondola runs along a cable and is powered by a portable gasoline generator. Because daily access to the tower is required during irrigation season, the reliability and safety of the gondola system has been a concern of the Company. Using loan and grant funds, the Company intends to address the safety and operational management concerns at the reservoir through the demolition of the gate tower; the installation of new control gates and operators; lining the existing outlet conduit with shotcrete; repairing the downstream outlet structure; and, installing a new perimeter drain and weir along the right side of the outlet structure to control seepage. The project schedule is estimated as: final design and State Engineer's Office (SEO) approval between January 2013 and January 2014; bid the project in May of 2014; award the bid by June of 2014; start construction in September of 2014; complete construction by March of 2015.
