<br />COLORADO WATER CONSERVATION BOARD <br />823 State Centennial Building <br />l3l3 Sherman Street <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br /> <br />September 9, 1980 <br /> <br />HYANNIS RESERVOIR PROJECT <br /> <br />The Arapahoe and Meyring Livestock Companies applied to the Board staff <br /> <br />for a state water project in March, 1980. <br /> <br />The proposed Hyannis Reservoir is an irrigation water storage project that <br /> <br />would be benefitting mainly David Meyring and his immediate family. The proposed <br /> <br />. project is an onstream reservoir about 75 feet high and is located near the headwaters <br /> <br />of the East Forks of Arapahoe Creek, a tributary to Grizzly Creek in the North Platte <br /> <br />River Basin. It is expected that the Hyannis Reservoir would provide supplemental <br /> <br />irrigation water for the existing irrigated acreage in the area and water for additional <br /> <br />irrigation. <br /> <br />Although staff has no detailed information about the proposed damsite except <br /> <br />what has been submitted in the application form, the project is roughly estimated <br /> <br />to cost about $2,500,000. <br /> <br />Before any final decision on the project is taken, a feasibility study costing <br /> <br />about $20,000-$25,000 would have to be jointly undertaken by the Board and the reservoir <br /> <br />sponsors. <br /> <br />The guidance of the Board is sought for such a decision, since the main benefi- <br /> <br />ciaries of the project will be David Meyrings' immediate family. <br /> <br />JWM :pm <br />
