Delivery: 206 acre-feet (consump. use) <br /> <br />cweB Construction Fund Loan: $309,500 <br /> <br />Interest Rate: 2.50% <br /> <br />Term: 30 years <br /> <br />UDC operates the Union Ditch providing direct flow irrigation water to an area of 5,50G-acres east of <br />the Town of laSalle and south of Greeley. Water is diverted from the South Platte River at a headgate <br />east of the Town of Milliken. UDC operates approximately 15 miles of ditch and typically delivers <br />about 29.000 acre-feet of irrigation water per year. UOC has filed an application for an <br />Augmentation Plan to provide replacement water for 40 junior wells owned by shareholders, <br />formerly serviced by GASP, to replace out-of-priority irrigation well depletions. As part of the <br />Augmentation Plan UDC will need 50 AF of developed recharge storage capacity to offset the <br />depletions. The project involves the development of three recharge structures, with the top priority <br />site, the Mecure #1 Site (20 AF) developed initially in 2004. and the remaining two sites totaling 30 <br />AF developed in 2005. Each pond would be filled by water that is diverted from the Union Ditch. <br />The construction of each site will include pond excavation, flow measurement structures (flumes on <br />feeder canals or meters for pumps). headgate structures for feeder canals, and monitoring and <br />reporting measurement equipment (SCADA). The ponds will be relatively shallow in depth (< 10 <br />feet) and will include an earthen embankment around the perimeter of the pond. <br /> <br /> <br />/ <br />!.t:'- <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />" <br />.. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />:;-J~c; <br />) <br />:-~ ~ <br /> <br />:/ . <br /> <br /> . <br /> '/ . <br /> \ . <br /> , . - ) <br /> .
