CWCB Construction Fund Loan Application <br />Other (describe) <br />3. If the project is for rehabilitation of an existing reservoir, is the reservoir currently under a storage <br />restriction order from the State Engineer? YES NO _ N/A <br />4. General location of the project. (Please include county, and approximate distance and direction from <br />nearest town, as well as legal description, if known. <br />Fremont County. Diversion located 2 miles southwest of downtown Penrose (see Study <br />Figure 6). Piping extends from Section 13, T19S, R69W, northerly along west lines of <br />Sections 12 and 1 of T19S, R69W; Sections 36 and 25 of T18S, R69W connecting to o the <br />Brush Hollow Reservoir in the northeast quarter of said Section 25. <br />5. Please provide a brief narrative description of the proposed project including purpose, need, <br />facilities, type of water uses to be served and service area. Attach separate sheet, if needed. <br />The project consists of the development of an additional base water supply for the District. The <br />project includes the acquisition, change in use and change in point of diversion of 10/12' of the <br />Pleasant Valley Ditch water rights. Said rights are projected to generate on average 339 acre - <br />feet per year of consumptive use yield. The water will be obtained through the installation of <br />seven shallow alluvial wells anticipated to be located in Section 13 lying immediately north of <br />the Arkansas River. The water will be conveyed through a 12 -inch water transmission line to <br />the Brush Hollow Reservoir. The Brush Hollow Reservoir will have its impoundment capacity <br />increased as a result of increasing the dam four vertical feet. The additional water supply is <br />required to enable the District to assure both its current and future users of an adequate base <br />water supply to meet raw water demands. See the attached Loan Feasibility Study for additional <br />discussion. <br />6. Will the acquisition of additional water rights be necessary? YES NO X <br />If YES, please explain. <br />The District does not need to acquire additional water rights over and above those that are the <br />subject of this application: however, the District is sensitive to the availability of additional <br />water rights on the Arkansas River that can be added to its base water sully. Such <br />diversification is deemed as prudent. Any additional Arkansas River rights considered for <br />purchase would be anticipated to be diverted through the facilities being constructed within this <br />project for use by the District. <br />
