The <br /> Company has a decreed recharge plan involving recharge ponds, reaches, and augmentation wells. <br /> Currently, the operation of the recharge plan results in restrictions on well pumping due to the lack of <br /> recharge credits and requires the use of augmentation wells. The Company needed an additional <br /> recharge pond and especially needed a pond at a greater distance to the South Platte River. <br /> This project included the construction of an additional recharge pond at a greater distance from the <br /> river to generate recharge credits of sufficient volume and proper timing to allow well pumping to <br /> provide a full water supply. <br /> Note that the original project included the widening of an existing bridge at its main diversion facilities <br /> on the Platte River; this element project was not constructed, as the Company is investigating <br /> additional river diversion projects that will likely include those elements. <br /> PROJECT D A T A <br /> Sponsor: Upper Platte ft Beaver Canal Co.
