All of these items need to <br />be correcten before the storage restriction will be lifted. <br /> <br />CURRENT STATUS <br /> <br />In August, 1981, the North poudre Irrigation Company <br /> <br /> <br />submitted an application for a state water project. Accompanying <br /> <br /> <br />the application was a preliminary engineering report for the <br /> <br /> <br />rehabilitation of Fossil Creek Dam, which report had been <br /> <br /> <br />prepared by Bruns, Inc., a Loveland, Colorano engineering firm. <br /> <br /> <br />The company subsequently paid Bruns, Inc. to prepare a <br /> <br /> <br />feasibility report for the dam rehabilitation. This latter <br /> <br /> <br />report was needed to satisfy the Board's requirements for funding <br /> <br /> <br />consideration. The feasibility report has been reviewed and <br /> <br /> <br />approved. It is the basis for recommendations on this project. <br /> <br />PROPOSED PROJECT <br /> <br />The project as outlined in the feasibility report would be a <br />complete rehabilitation of the existing dam. It would include <br />extensive grading work on the embankment, a large quantity of <br />riprap placement, a new spillway to pass the probable maximum <br />flood, and complete replacement of the existing outlet works. <br />The estimated cost of this project is $4,114,000, which includes <br />$240,000 for purchase of additional right-of-way. The project <br />has a favorable benefit-cost ratio of 1.69:1. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />-2- <br />
