<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />11E <br /> <br />This project is the rehabilitation of Foothills Reservoir dam, located west of Longmont in Boulder <br />County. The dam has an inadequate spillway and severe seepage through the embanIanent and has had a storage <br />restriction placed on it by the State Engineer. Smith Geotechnical Engineering Consultants of Fort Collins <br />Colorado prepared the final design plans and specifications. The proposed improvements include a new spillway, <br />a sand filter blanket along the downstream face of the darn, a perimeter toe drain with flow measuring devices, rip <br />rap placement along the upstream face of the dam, and reconstructing the dam crest The project was awarded to <br />Zak Dirt, out of Longmont, Colorado, who commenced construction in December of 2000 and is approximately <br />85% complete. The project is anticipated to be completed by June of 2001. <br /> <br />8. Boulder & Lefthand Irrigation Company Twin Lakes Outlet Improvements <br /> <br />Authorization: Small Project Loan <br />Water Source: Boulder Creek <br />Terms of Loan: $100,000 @ 3.75% for 20 yrs. <br /> <br />COWlty: Boulder-N.E. of Boulder <br />Project Yield: 2,584 acre feet <br />Project Type: Outlet/Spillway <br /> <br />Twin Lakes is an equalizing reservoir that has an existing capacity of 218 acre-feet, located approximately <br />5 miles northeast of Boulder. The State Engineer's Office during inspection of the facility determined that an <br />outlet pipe had deteriorated beyond repair and that a new spillway be incorporated into the reservoir. Given <br />possible restrictions imposed by the State Engineer's Office, the Boulder and Lefthand Irrigation Company elected <br />to construct a combined outlet/spillway structure. The new control structure consists of a 30" steel outlet pipe and <br />headgate, with a 36" drop inlet/spillway slructure. The project was designed by Rocky Mountain Consultants, <br />Longmont, Colorado. The project construction was awarded to Kemp-Hoffman, out of Northglenn, Colorado. <br />The Contractor has completed new outlet control structure, installation of the 30" steel outlet pipe, and is currently <br />working on raising the dam crest at certain locations The project is approximately 90% complete. The overall <br />project is anticipated to be completed by June 1, 200 I. <br /> <br />9. Julesburg Irrigation District - Peterson Control Structure Reconstruction <br /> <br />Authorization: Small Project Loan <br />Water Source: South Platte River <br />Tenns of Loan: $100,000 @ 3.50% for 30 yrs. <br /> <br />County: Sedgwick - N. of Ovid <br />Project Yield: 60,000 acre-feet <br />Project Type: Diversion Structure <br /> <br />This project itlVolves the reconstruction of the Julesburg Irrigation District's Peterson Ditch control <br />structure at Lodgepole Creek. The improvements involve the construction of a new 12~ft. drop chute spillway <br />that drops flood flows into Lodgepole Creek, and the construction of a water control structure on Peterson <br />Ditch. The water control structure incorporates a 3~ft. slide gate to direct water into a cutthroat flume to <br />measure augmenw.tion flows. Concrete Specialties, from Sterling, Colorado was awarded the project and has <br />mobilized on-site and is approximately 50% complete. The project is anticipated to be complete by June of <br />2001. <br /> <br />10. Tunnel Water Company - LaramieIPoudre Tunnel Rehabilitation <br /> <br />Authorization: Emergency Loan County: Larimer - W. ofFt. Collins <br />Water Source: Laramie River Project Yield: 15,085 ac. ft. <br />Terms of Loan: $1,600,OOO@4.75% for 30-yearsProject Type: Tunnel Rehabilitation <br /> <br />The existing LaramieIPoudre Tunnel is approximately 2 miles in length, diverting water directly from <br />the Laramie River and discharging it into Poudre River at a point approximately 60 miles west of Fort Collins. <br />On May 28, 2000, a 400-ft. section of the tunnel collapsed, leaving the tunnel inoperable. The proposed <br />project involves the construction of new access roads and staging areas at both ends of the tunnel and the <br />repair of the failed twmel area, at an estimated cost of $3,200,000.
