Both Projects are required to meet the SEO dam safety requirements, <br />improve water management inefficiencies, reduce high maintenance costs, and prevent continued <br />outlet deterioration. <br />The existing Horseshoe Lake low -level outlet is a water conveyance bottleneck within the <br />Company's irrigation system as it can only convey approximately 200 cfs. The existing high -level <br />outlet can only be used as an emergency spillway as there is currently no direct or controlled way to <br />discharge these flows into Boyd Lake through the spillway. The Horseshoe Lake project will be <br />used to increase the conveyance capability from Horseshoe Lake into Boyd Lake to 1,100 cfs, at <br />higher reservoir levels, so the Company and Seven Lakes can more efficiently provide irrigation <br />water to shareholders. This work will include providing a conveyance structure underneath County <br />Road 11 C and so will have direct involvement with Larimer County (County). <br />The Boyd Lake project will replace the high -level reservoir inlet and outlet from the Greeley and <br />Loveland Irrigation Canal (Canal) so that the Company can discharge water into Boyd Lake for <br />storage during low reservoir levels, or discharge water back into the Canal for deliveries during <br />
