Bill Porter - BartonIPorter Reservoir Rehabilitation Proiect Authorization: Small Project Loan Account County: Garfield Water Source: Garfield/South Canyon/3-mile Project Yield: 1,100 acre-feet Terms of Loan: $1,000,000 @2.5% for 20-yearsProject Type: Rehabilitation This $2,000,000 project involves enlarging the existing reservoir to an approximate capacity of 1,100 acre-feet. The existing Class 3 reservoir was constructed in 1958 with a dam height of 43-feet impounding a reservoir of 206 acre-feet. The proposed improvements involve raising the east dam to a height of 69 feet and removing the west dam and replacing it with a new 83.5-feet high dam. A new spillway and outlet structure will be constructed and the inlet ditch will be relocated to a higher elevation to gravity feed the reservoir. Design plans were completed by Golder and Associates in the Winter of 2002 and have been approved by the State Engineer's Office. The project . is currently being constructed by in-house forces and is approximately 80% complete. The project has been shut down for the winter with 20-25 feet of dam height remaining to be constructed on both dams. The owner is planning to operate the facility during the summer of 2003 and complete the remaining dam construction in the fall of2003. 6. Weld County Tri-Area Sanitation District - Regional Detention Pond Authorization: HB 00-1419 County: Weld- S. of Frederick Water Source: n/a Project Yield: n/a Terms of Loan: $2,200,000 @ 5.00% for 30-years Project Type: Regional Detention Pond The communities ofDacono, Frederick, Evanston, and Firestone have consistently experienced flooding problems due to storm runoff from irrigated farmlands and adjacent developments. These communities have suffered many recorded flooding events, dating back to 1957, which caused in excess of $300,000 in flood related damages. With significant population growth occurring within the District, the District cooperated in the development of the 1-25 Corridor Master Drainage Plan. The master drainage plan recommended that the existing detention pond located on the south side of Frederick be enlarged to a regional detention pond, to mitigate future flood damage to the surrounding communities. The regional detention pond would encompass over 60 acres of land and store approximately 146 acre-feet of storm water during a 100-year event. The design has been completed by the Sears- Brown Group, and was bid in May of2003. SEMA Contractor was awarded the Bid and commenced construction in August of 2002. The Contractor is 95% complete with the project and is currently working through punch list items. The Tri-Area Sanitation District received an additional $501,500 from the Board at the July 2003 Board meeting to cover construction overruns and costs associated with obtaining an approved Letter of Map Amendment from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The project is anticipated to be complete by April of2004. .7.
