<br /> <br />. <br /> <br />of 230 acre-feet. The proposed improvements include, constructing a compacted earthfillliner on the upstream slope of <br />. the reservoir and floor, construct new toe drains, raise the embanlanent dam crest by 2.5-ft., place rip rap and liner <br />protection material above the earthfilI liner, spillway repairs, and fill the old borrow pit within the reservoir. Harrison <br />Western Construction has commenced construction in rehabilitating the dam face and will continue working as weather <br />pennits. Project is anticipated to be completed in the summer of2002. <br /> <br />4. Lower South Platte Water Conservancy District - Augmentation and Groundwater Recharge <br /> <br />Authorization: Small Project Loan <br />Water Source: South Platte <br />Terms of Loan: $100,000@3.00%for 10 yrs. <br /> <br />County: Sedgwick - W. of Ovid <br />Project Yield: 1,500 acre-feet <br />Project Type: Groundwater - Wells <br /> <br />The Lower South Platte Water Conservancy (LSPWCD) District service area encompasses approximately 375,000 acres <br />located in the four counties of Logan, Morgan, Washington, and Sedgwick. The LSPWCD also operates the Lower South <br />Platte Recharge Water Activity Enterprise, which currently serves 42 customers with 62 wells. The Enterprise has <br />reviewed the replacement water sources needed to augment inigation wells in Water District 64. Past drought conditions <br />emphasize the need for additional replacement sources. During the winter and spring of 2001 new recharge ponds have <br />been developed in the Lower South Platte River under the canals of the Julesburg Irrigation District. The accretions from <br />these ponds will provide a replacement source to the river to offset irrigation well depletions. In addition to these new <br />recharge facilities, the LSPWCD is working to develop existing and new wells as an augmentation replacement source. <br />These wells are at a great distance from the South Platte River and will be pumped into the State Line Ditch of Julesburg <br />Irrigation District to flow back to the river for immediate replacement for out-of-priority inigation wells depletions. <br /> <br />5. HigJUand Ditch Company Foothills Reservoir Dam Rehabilitation <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Authorization: SB 98-1198 - Severance Tax <br />Water Source: St. Vrain River <br />Terms of Loan: $1,040,000 @4.0% for 30 years <br /> <br />County: Boulder- W ofLongmont <br />Project Yield: 450 ad\. <br />Project Type: Dam Rehabilitation <br /> <br />This project is the rehabilitation of Foothills Reservoir dam, located west of Longmont in Boulder County. The dam has <br />an inadequate spillway and severe seepage through the embankment and has had a storage restriction placed on it by the <br />State Engineer. Smith Geotechnical Engineering Consultants of Fort Collins Colorado prepared the fmal design plans and <br />specifications. The proposed improvements include a new spillway, a sand filter blanket along the downstream face of the <br />dam, a perimeter toe drain with flow measuring devices, rip rap placement along the upstream face of the dam, and <br />reconstructing the dam crest. The project was awarded to Zak Dirt, out of Longmont, Colorado, who commenced <br />construction in December of 2000 and is approximately 95% complete. The project is anticipated to be completed by <br />October of 200 1. <br /> <br />6. Julesburg Irrigation District - Peterson Control Structure Reconstruction <br /> <br />Authorization: Small Project Loan <br />Water Source: South Platte River <br />Terms 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 involves the reconstruction of the Julesburg Irrigation District's Peterson Ditch control structure at <br />Lodgepole Creek. The improvements involve the construction of a new 12-ft. drop chute spillway that drops flood <br />flows into Lodgepole Creek, and the construction of a water control structure on Peterson Ditch. The water control <br />structure incorporates a 3-ft. slide gate to direct water into a cutthroat flume to measure augmentation flows. Concrete <br />Specialties, from Sterling, Colorado was awarded the project and has mobilized on-site and is approximately 95% <br />complete. The project is anticipated to be complete by October of 2001. <br /> <br />7.
