Delivery: 782 acre-feet (decreed capacity) <br /> <br />CWCB STTFPBA Fund Loan: $195.400 <br /> <br />Interest Rate: 2.50% <br /> <br />Term: 30 years <br /> <br />YCRC provides irrigation water to a 40Q-acre service area in Delta County near the Town of <br />Cedaredge. The YCRC owns & operates two reservoirs, the Reservoir #1-2 (a combined <br />reservoir), and Reservoir #3. both located on Grand Mesa. Reservoir #1-2 has a decreed capacity <br />of 782 acre feet, and is over 100 years old. The existing dam is a Class 2 dam, with a length of 505 <br />feet, height of 46 feet. crest width of 15 feet, and spillway width of 25 feet. There is a history of <br />seepage problems, and a recurring incidence of sinkholes in the area immediately upstream of the <br />dam. along the left abutment. This has necessitated temporary sinkhole repairs on several <br />occasions. as well as instituting a monitoring program to assess the performance of the dam. In <br />2001, a geotechnical investigation was completed and paired piezometers were placed within the . <br />embankment structure. Since the installation the reservoir has not filled due to the drought. and it <br />has not been possible to evaluate dam performance over the past two years. Several time <br />extensions for perfonnance reporting have been granted by the SED. YCRC wants to make the <br />most critical repairs now to avoid potential loss of function of the reservoir and possible restriction. <br />Currently, the dam is approved for conditional full storage, requiring continued efforts to address left <br />abutment seepage. The proposed liner project will address the immediate sinkhole problem by <br />installing a 60 mil HOPE (High Density Polyethylene) liner over an area about 200 feet long by 140 <br />feet wide, covering a total of 3100 sq. yards, in the area of sinkhole occurrence. Future monitoring <br />of the dam perfonnance after the initial repair will allow YCRC to determine if additional repairs are <br />necessary. <br /> <br />GRAND <br />JUNCTION <br />?;:!!,"- <br /> <br /> <br />...._. .-"7"\\~.'
