<br />. <br /> <br />Colorado Water Conservation Board <br />721 State Centennial Building <br />l313 Sherman Street <br />Denver. Colorado 80203 <br /> <br />Rock Creek Dam project <br />(Colorado River Water Conservation District) <br /> <br />Introduction <br /> <br />The subject project is a proposed dam on Rock Creek <br />approximately '27 miles northwest of Kremmling. The storage <br />capacity of the proposed reservoir will be 50.700 acre-feet. <br />The project sponsor is the Colorado River Water Conservation <br />District. <br /> <br />Feasibility Study <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Potential sites for the proposed project were identified <br />during studies performed in 1982-1985. In August, 1985, <br />Morrison-Knudsen Engineers. Inc.. and the River District <br />performed a reconnaissance study of these sites. Based upon <br />the determinations in that study. Morrison-Knudsen was retained <br />by the River District to perform a feasibility study, including <br />the necessary geotechnical investigations. The feasibility <br />study has been completed and is the basis for the recommenda- <br />tion on this project. <br /> <br />Proposed Proiect <br /> <br />After studying several alternate sites for a proposed dam, <br />the consulting engineers recommended the one on Rock Creek <br />about 3.700 feet downstream of the confluence of Horse Creek. <br />This site is located in the Routt National Forest. The <br />proposed new dam would be constructed of roller-compacted <br />concrete with a height of 195 feet. It would impound a <br />reservoir with a storage capacity of 50,700 acre-feet. The <br />total estimated cost of the proposed project is $18,000,000. <br /> <br />Proposed Financinq <br /> <br />The financing proposed for this project is as follows: <br /> <br />Colorado River Water conservation District <br />CWCB loan <br /> <br />Total <br /> <br />$ 9,000,000 <br /> <br />$ 9.000.000 <br />$18.000.000 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />2566E <br /> <br />~ <br />
