<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The upstream face of the dam is approximately a 2:1 <br /> <br /> <br />slope with some over steepening of the upper five feet (5') of <br /> <br /> <br />the embankments due to erosion. When the reservoir is full, <br /> <br /> <br />excessive seepage has been noted below the toe of the West dam <br /> <br /> <br />which has produced a soft, boggy area below this dam. <br /> <br /> <br />For the past several years the deterioration of these <br /> <br /> <br />structures has been of concern to both the owner and the State <br /> <br /> <br />Engineer. The dams were inspected on May 9, 1984 by the State <br /> <br /> <br />Engineer I s Office and restricted to gage height 18.0 feet, <br /> <br /> <br />which is 6.0 feet below the maximum water decree. If not <br /> <br /> <br />repaired, increased restriction may be placed on the reservoir <br /> <br /> <br />resulting in additional loss of stored water to the irrigators. <br /> <br /> <br />It is estimated that for each year the dam is not repaired, <br />North Poudre will lose about 1,532 acre feet of water. <br />FEASIBILITY STUDY <br />A feasibility study has not been completed on this <br />facility. A feasibility study has been initiated, however, and <br />is in progress. <br /> <br />- 2 - <br />
