Figure 1 shows the reservoir <br />relative to Denver and the Town of Hudson. Figure 2 is a copy of <br />a USGS Quad map showing the reservoir site. <br /> <br />The Dam owner and contact is: <br /> <br />Henrylyn Irrigation District <br />Lawrence (Butch) Gerkin, Manager <br />P.O. Box 85 <br />Hudson, Colorado 80642 <br /> <br />536-4702 <br /> <br />The dam was constructed in the early part of the century and is <br />currently under a small restriction (1.5 feet) by the Colorado <br />State Engineer. <br /> <br />The plan is to enlarge the dam from a present capacity of about <br />6,000 acre-feet to about 9,700 acre-feet. The Henrylyn Ditch which <br />fills the reservoir has a drop into the reservoir of about 8 feet, <br />the enlargement would make use of the reservoir capacity presently <br />unused by that 8 feet of drop. <br /> <br />This reconnaissance report describes the engineering issues, <br />construction, and costs of enlargement of the dam. The designs <br />described herein are preliminary based upon available information <br />and will likely change as detailed data and analysis are developed. <br /> <br />Prospect Dam <br /> <br />1 <br />
