Delivery: 206 acre-feet (consump. use) Interest Rate: 2.50% Term: 30 years UDC operates the Union Ditch providing direct flow irrigation water to an area of 5,50D-acres east of the To'NTl of laSalle and south of Greeley. Water is diverted from the South Platte River at a headgate east of the Town of Milliken. UDC operates approximately 15 miles of ditch and typically delivers about 29,000 acre-feet of irrigation water per year. UDC has filed an application for an Augmentation Plan to provide replacement water for 40 junior wells owned by shareholders. formerly serviced by GASP, to replace out-of-priority irrigation well depletions. As part of the Augmentation Plan UDC will need 50 AF of developed recharge storage capacity to offset the depletions. The project involves the development of three recharge structures. with the top priority site, the Mecure #1 Site (20 AF) developed initially in 2004. and the remaining two sites totaling 30 AF developed in 2005. Each pond would be filled by water that is diverted from the Union Ditch. The construction of each site will include pond excavation. flow measurement structures (flumes on feeder canals or meters for pumps). headgate structures for feeder canals, and monitoring and reporting measurement equipment (SCADA). The ponds will be relatively shallow in depth (< 10 feet) and will include an earthen embankment around the perimeter of the pond. . . - ~ ~ ." -- . . . . / 1- : __::C:_ Location Map Page 7 of 7
