<br />This project involves the rehabilitation of ReserV,oirs 4,5 and Indian Creek. The Irrigation Company
<br />has retained the services of Smith Geotechnical, out of F~rt Collins, Colorado to prepare design plans and
<br />specifications for the proposed improvements. Improvements to Reservoir No.5 were designed and .
<br />completed in 1999. Indian Creek and No. Reservoirs are currently under design. The proposed improvements
<br />to Indian Creek Reservoir involve a new 500-ft. long spillway, replacement of the outlet structure, new toe
<br />drains, and reshaping the downstream dam face. The proposed improvements to Reservoir No.4 include,
<br />relocation ofthe spillway to the center ofthe dam, replading the existing outlet structure and Parshall flume,
<br />new toe drains, rip rap placement, and reshaping the upstream face of the dam. Construction of Reservoir 4

<br />.
<br />
<br />This project is a five-year program of technical studies aimed at the development of a long range,
<br />countywide water master plan. The purpose of the plan is to develop water resources, systems, and facilities
<br />in whole or in part for the benefit of the Authority members and their inhabitants, and other residents of the
<br />county, now and into the future. The County is currently focusing on eight study areas; El Paso County water
<br />resources, potential water import projects, optimum couhty water distribution infrastructure, water plan for
<br />private well owners, water reuse projects, synergistic prbjects with Colorado Springs utilities, other studies,
<br />and an overall project master plan summary. The Water Authority has completed Phases I, 2A, 2B, 3, 4D,
<br />and 4E of the Master Plan. The overall Master Plan is approximately 33% complete.

<br />: Project Yield: nla
<br />: Project Type: Regional Detention Pond
<br />
<br />The communities ofDacono, Frederick, Evanst~m, and Firestone have consistently experienced
<br />flooding problems due to storm runoff from irrigated farmlands and adjacent developments. These
<br />communities have suffered many recorded flooding evel1ts, dating back to 1957, which caused in excess of
<br />$300,000 in flood related damages. With significant population growth occurring within the District, the
<br />District cooperated in the development of the 1-25 Corridor Master Drainage Plan. The master drainage plan
<br />recommended that the existing detention pond located Qn the south side of Frederick be enlarged to a regional
<br />detention pond, to mitigate future flood damage to the s.urrounding communities. The regional detention pond
<br />would encompass over 60 acres of land and store approj"imately 146 acre-feet of stormwater during a 100-year .
<br />event. The design is being completed by the Sears-Brotn Group during the. summer of2001, with construction
<br />tentatively scheduled to commence in the Fall of 200 1. :
