No. 8/Annex <br />Drainage Basin: South Platte <br /> <br />Project Type: Rehabilitation <br /> <br />Water Source: Cache La Poudre River <br /> <br />Total Project Cost: $750,000 <br /> <br />Funding Sources: CWCS, WRCC <br /> <br />Type of Borrower: Agricultural <br /> <br />AVer. Delivery: 620 acre-feet <br /> <br />CWCB Small Project Loan: $675,000 <br /> <br />Interest Rate: 2.50% <br /> <br />Term: 30 years <br /> <br />The Windsor Reservoir & Canal Company (WRCC) is applying for a loan to recover 620 acre-feet of <br />storage in their Windsor Reservoir No. 8 and No. 8 Annex, by excavating and removing up to <br />1,000,000 cubic yards of-sediment. The WRCC serviCe area extends from their Cache la Poudre <br />diversion north of Fort Collins east to near the town of Galeton northeast of Greeley, generally <br />bounded by the Eaton Ditch and the Greeley Ditch No. 2 Ditch. The total area encompassed is about <br />86,000 acres, providing water for irrigation for about 55,000 acres. WRCC typically uses about <br />31,000 acre-feet to irrigate the 55,000 acres. WRCC owns 6 reservoirs and about 25 miles of ditch <br />known as the Poudre Valley Canal. Reservoir No.8 WaS purchased in 1911. Total decreed storage in <br />all reservoirs is 65,562 acre feet. Windsor Reservoir No. 8 and No, 8 Annex are adjacent, inter- <br />connected, reservoirs that have a storage decree of 15,381 acre-feet, with current storage capacity at <br />12,700 acre-feet due to sediment accumulation. The project would provide an additional 620 acre-feet <br />of storage, allowing WRCC to supply irrigation water for an additional 3 days. This is significant <br />because the total number of days the system normally runs is 30 to 45 days. The removed material <br />will be spread over 30 acres of land adjacent to the reservoir, and re-seeded to address erosion, <br /> <br /> <br />Location Map <br /> <br />Page 6 of 6 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />\ <br />'. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br />
