<br /> <br />evaluation and field reconnaissance, has heen developed which would cross the Arkansas River at Fowler <br />and stay north of the river, serving communities with branch lines. Financing capabilities of the member . <br />water suppliers were evaluated as well as a review of available federal and state funding programs. An <br />analysis of possible administrative frameworks has been looked at with a Water Conservancy District or a <br />Water Authority providing the most promise and the most likely opportunities for obtaining federal funds. <br />The draft final report is expected in mid-July, and the Final Report in mid-August. The scope of work <br />calls for 3 public meetings to present study results. . <br /> <br />42. <br /> <br />Dry Creek Flood Mitigation Proiect <br />Authorization: SB 01-157 <br />Water Source: Cache la Poudre River <br />Location: Larimer County <br /> <br />Grant Amount: $50,000 <br />Project Type: Flood Mitigation <br />Project Manager: Bruce Johnson <br /> <br />Total project cost to construct flood control structur~s and improvements in the Lower Dry Creek <br />basin in and around Fort Collins is $12,600,000. CWCB I;oan authorization was approved in November <br />2001 for a $11,000,000 loan at 3.75% interest for 30 years, :from the Severance Tax Trust Fund Perpetual <br />Base Account. <br /> <br />The September 2001 Feasibility Study recommended four flood storage and diversion alternatives <br />from which a Selected Alternative would be developed. Stafihas been working with the applicant to fmalize <br />the Feasibility Study. The Feasibility Study is 90% complete pending a final decision on a Selected <br />Alternative. Final completion of the study is expected by ~ugust 2002. The project is on track to begin <br />, design work during the sununer of 2002 and constructiojl could begin as early as fall of 2002, with <br />completion over several years. <br /> <br />43. <br /> <br />Satellite Monitoring Svstem <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Project Name: CWCB Gaging program for monitoring and data collection projects <br />Water Source: Nt A Project Type: Stream Gaging <br />County: Statewide Drainage Basin: Statewide <br /> <br />Current Status Report: <br /> <br />Background <br />This project entails the development and implementation of a long-range plan to address the gaging needs of <br />the Colorado Water Conservation Board. <br /> <br />As the state's primary water planning agency, the CWQl relies upon gages operated by the Division of <br />Water Resources (DWR), United States Geological Survey (USGS) and private entities in order to meet the <br />needs of its mission critical program areas including 'Compact Protection, Decision Support System <br />Development, Floodplain Management and Stream and Lal\:e Protection. However, CWCB gaging needs are <br />often different from those of the DWR and USGS. Altho\lgh many existing gages provide needed data, the <br />DWR's mission is to administer the state's water rights, while the USGS collects data for long-term scientific <br />record purposes. Af3 a result, stream gages are not always located where the CWCB needs them, nor are they <br />necessarily designed to fit CWCB data collection parameters. Implementation of this project will enable the <br />CWCB to strengthen its cooperative efforts with the DWR and USGS to expand, refurbish, redesign and <br />create new gages as well as develop new strategies to obtain data that will not only benefit the CWCB but <br />statewide stakeholder interests. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br /> <br />Page 22 onl <br />
