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 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 supply. 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 />
