These reservoirs store water for irrigation of about <br />1650 acres of alfalfa arid pasture lands around the town of. <br />Mesa. The Company has submitted an application for financial <br />assistance to rehabilitate two of its storage reservoir dams. <br /> <br />Problem <br /> <br />The Company's reservoir #1, with a capacity of 396 <br />acre-feet, is currently under restriction by the State Engineer <br />due to slumps on and seepage through the main embankment. an <br />inadequate spillway. the need for improvements to the outlet <br />works. and the need for riprapon the upstream side of the <br />dam. Reservoir #2 is subject to restriction by the State <br />Engineer unless the Company controls embankment seepage. <br />performs maintenance work on the control gate, places erosion <br />control mats in the spillway. and installs a flow measurement <br />structure below the dam. To address these problems. the <br />company had a feasibility study prepared by Wastewater <br />Engineering, a consulting firm in Palisade. which study is the <br />basis for the recommendation on this project. <br /> <br />Proposed Project <br /> <br />The proposed project is to rehabilitate the dams for <br />reservoir #1 and reservoir #2 in accordance with the plans and <br />specifications which have already received approval from the <br />State Engineer'S Office. Direct construction costs for this <br />project are estimated to be $90,000. <br /> <br />However. the Company has already spent the following <br />amounts for the project: <br /> <br />(a) Design <br />1. Preliminary and final designs <br />2. Soils and surveying <br />3.
