There are 160 the year, the pastures are grazed by the Ranch's grass-fed cattle <br /> herd. The Ranch owns two adjoining ponds next to Big Thompson River. The ponds, which were silted in <br /> during the September 2013 flood, are fed by springs and drain into the river just above the George Rist <br /> Ditch diversion. The Ranch pumps water out of the ponds to irrigate pastures located immediately south <br /> of the ponds. Between 142 and 190 acre-feet are used per season, using two center pivots. Without <br /> these ponds, there is no means to irrigate the pastures. The purpose of this project is to excavate the silt <br /> from the ponds. <br /> Project Data <br /> Sponsor: Sylvan Dale Ranch, LLP County: Larimer Water Source: Big Thompson River <br /> Terms of Loan: $105,171 for 30 years ® 1.75% Construction Completed: May 2014 <br /> Expended Amount:$105,171 <br /> Anticipates FEMA Funding: NO <br /> Design Engineer: None <br /> Contractor: Custom Design Fabricators - Livermore, Colorado <br /> Project Elements: The ponds were excavated and the silt was distributed to various locations on the <br /> Ranch. <br />
