41/4 DNR COLORADO <br /> CO j Colorado Water <br /> Conservation Board <br /> I Department of Natural Resources <br /> Colorado Water Conservation Board <br /> Water Plan Grant - Exhibit A <br /> Environmental and Recreation Program Grant <br /> Statement Of Work <br /> Prepared Date: March 8, 2018 <br /> Name of Applicant: Colorado Springs Utilities (CSU) <br /> Name of Water Project: Homestake Arkansas River Diversion (ARD) Boat Chute Project <br /> Funding Source: Environmental and Recreation Program Grant <br /> Water Project Overview: <br /> The Homestake Arkansas River Diversion (ARD) Boat Chute Project below the town of Granite, Colorado <br /> on the Upper Arkansas River was constructed in 1965 as the original point of diversion. The Homestake <br /> Arkansas River Diversion (ARD) Boat Chute Project is a rockfill diversion dam with steel sheet pile and <br /> articulated concrete mat armoring at the crest. In the 1980's, the intake pipeline was extended to Twin <br /> Lakes and this was retained as a backup facility. Since the 1980's, the diversion dam and intake have <br /> deteriorated including failure of portions of the articulated concrete armoring and erosion of the rockfill. In <br /> its current condition, the Homestake Arkansas River Diversion (ARD) Boat Chute Project presents a <br /> hazard to navigation due to exposed rebar and sheet pile and powerful hydraulic conditions on the <br /> downstream face. The current condition of this structure requires that recreational whitewater users <br /> portage to continue downriver. <br /> The Homestake Arkansas River Diversion (ARD) Boat Chute Project will improve river user safety and <br /> provide recreational boat passage. <br /> Project Objectives: <br /> 1. Improve river user safety; and <br /> 2. Provide recreational boat passage. <br /> Water Plan Grant Exhibit A - Statement of Work Page 1 of 4 <br />
