Following County: Larimer, Boulder, Weld <br /> completion and approval of an Environmental Impact Water Source: Colorado River <br /> Statement and acquisition of 23 permits and licenses, Drainage Basin: South Platte <br /> Windy Gap Project construction began in July 1981. The Division: 1 District: 2,3,4,5,6 <br /> project was completed in 1985 and began delivering <br /> water to Municipal Subdistrict allottees in July. <br /> Today, the Windy Gap Project consists of a diversion dam on the Colorado River that creates the 445- <br /> acre-foot Windy Gap Reservoir, a pumping plant and a six-mile pipeline to Lake Granby. During wet <br /> periods when Lake Granby is full, the Windy Gap Pump Plant cannot operate due to the lack of <br /> reservoir storage for Windy Gap Project water and in dry periods it cannot divert water from the <br /> Colorado River due to its junior water rights. The Windy Gap Firming Project will be the construction of <br /> a new 90,000 acre-foot East Slope reservoir called Chimney Hallow. <br /> 304 co <br /> Loveland <br /> Proposed <br /> Chimney Hollow <br /> Facilities <br /> Flatiron <br /> Chimney <br /> Hollow <br /> Reservoir <br /> Carta <br /> Lake <br /> Reservoir <br /> • <br /> —Umner hanrel Detne <br /> Inlef.'Allel lunml <br /> SYIII,e.Y.ru <br /> rres:,eerom, <br /> Berthoud <br /> • <br /> Water Project Loan Program - Project Data Sheet <br />
