<br />e <br /> <br />COLORADO WATER CONSERVATION BOARD <br /> <br />Barnes Meadow Dam <br />City of Greeley <br /> <br />January. 1989 <br /> <br />Introduction <br /> <br />Barnes Meadow Reservoir is a high elevation water storage <br />facility owned by the City of Greeley. It is located just <br />south of State Highway 14 about 7 miles northeast of Cameron <br />Pass. The dam is an earth embankment with a crest length of <br />1.260 feet. The reservoir has a storage capacity of 2.349 <br />acre-feet. <br /> <br />Problem <br /> <br />Due to excessive seepage through the auxiliary spillway <br />dike and the poor condition of the auxiliary spillway and <br />emergency spillway chute. the city has restricted storage in <br />the reservoir to 1.928 acre-feet. Although this reduces the <br />available storage by only 421 acre-feet. the city feels that <br />it must maintain all possible storage capacity in order to <br />provide an adequate supply to meet its demands. <br /> <br />e Proposed Proiect <br /> <br />The city hired Morrison-Knudsen Engineers. Inc. (MKE) to <br />prepare the feasibility study for this project. After <br />studying seven alternative solutions to the problems at Barnes <br />Meadow Dam. MKE recommended work to level the dam crest. fill <br />in the existing emergency spillway. reinforce existing riprap <br />on upstream face of dam. reline the outlet works. remove <br />existing service spillway. and construct a new roller <br />compacted concrete service spillway. The total estimated <br />project cost is $430.000. <br /> <br />Proposed Financinq <br /> <br />City of Greeley (bonds or capital <br />replacement fund) <br />CWCB loan at 5 percent. 20 years <br /> <br />$215.000 <br />215.000 <br />$430.000 <br /> <br />Under this financing arrangement the city would pay the CWCB <br />$17.251.60 per year for 20 years. for a total repayment of <br />$345.032. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />9061E <br />
