Preliminary Design Memorandum <br /> Silt Pumping Plant Rehabilitation <br /> Silt Pumping Plant Rehabilitation <br /> Colorado River Power Revenue MOA Program <br /> Preliminary Design Memorandum <br /> PREPARED BY: <br /> US Bureau of Reclamation -Denver Technical Center <br /> US Bureau of Reclamation -Western Colorado Area Office <br /> PREPARED FOR: <br /> Silt Water Conservancy District <br /> January 2014 <br /> INTRODUCTION <br /> This report was prepared for the Silt Water Conservancy District which operates and maintains <br /> the Bureau of Reclamation's Silt Project. The rehabilitation of the Silt Pumping Plant is an <br /> approved project under the Memorandum of Agreement(MOA)Concerning the Upper Colorado <br /> River Basin Fund(Basin Fund), Dated January 24,2011, Fiscal Year(FY)2014 Approved <br /> Projects. The program was established to provide financial assistance for operation and <br /> maintenance of Colorado River Storage Project participating projects. <br /> The purpose of this report is to present background and design information necessary for design <br /> and preparation of construction and permit documents for the rehabilitation of the Silt Pumping <br /> Plant. The project is located at the end of the pumping plant intake canal,which is a diversion <br /> from the Colorado River. The diversion canal and pumping plant are located immediately south <br /> and about 1 mile east of the town of Silt, Colorado (See Figure 1). <br /> The objective of this report is to summarize, for planning and design purposes,the key elements <br /> of a selected pumping plant design concept that will meet the long-term needs of the District. <br /> The proposed concept evaluated in this report will include the replacement of the electrical <br /> service to the pumping plant, replacement of the complete electrical system from the point of <br /> connection to the public utility through the connection to the pump motors, replacement of the <br /> pumps and motors including transient mitigation,a new motor control center and complete <br /> documentation. <br /> 5 <br /> FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY <br />
