Water Supply Reserve Account—Application Form <br /> Revised December 2011 <br /> Part H.-Description of the Water Activity/Project <br /> 1. What is the primary purpose of this grant application? (Please check only one) <br /> Nonconsumptive(Environmental or Recreational) <br /> X Agricultural <br /> Municipal/Industrial <br /> Needs Assessment <br /> Education <br /> Other Explain: <br /> 2. If you feel this project addresses multiple purposes please explain. <br /> This project develops a new water supply for the Ordway Cattle Feeders feedlot. By doing so, it conserves water that is <br /> now being lost in transit and evaporation, freeing up this water for other uses. By converting to groundwater from <br /> surface water, it also results in water being left in the Arkansas River for an estimated 36 miles, improving aquatic and <br /> riparian habitat,an environmental and recreational benefit. The project also provides rural access to water for farmstead <br /> and wildland firefighting. The new water supply will supply enough water to implement dust abatement at the feedlot, <br /> improving the environment and public health. <br /> 3. Is this project primarily a study or implementation of a water activity/project? (Please check only one) <br /> Study X Implementation <br /> 4.
