<br />of new access roads and staging areas at both ends of the tunnel and the repair of the failed tunnel area, at an estimated
<br />cost of $3,200,000. Rocky Mountain Consultants, Longmont, Colorado, has completed the fmal design and will be
<br />monitoring the project during construction. Robison Construction, IDC., (RCI) the Contractor, commenced

<br />condition of their 25 miles of canal and 6 reservoirs. Smith Geotechnical identified approximately $3,400,000 in
<br />recommended improvements, with a proposed design and construction time fi'lllne of IS-years. The projects identified
<br />consisted of the Poudre Valley Canal, Cobb Lake Pipeline and OutletlInlet Structures, Windsor Reservoir No.8, Annex
<br />No.8 and Elder Reservoir Outlet Structure. The Poudre Valley Canal and the Cobb Lake improvements have been
<br />designed and constructed. The design on Annex No.8 and Windsor No.8 are currently underway. The construction of
<br />Elder Reservoir commenced in May of 200 1, constructeo by Zak Dirt, from Longmont, CO. Elder Reservoir is tentatively

<br />County: Morgan - N.W. ofFt. Morgan
<br />Project Yield: 30,000 acre-feet
<br />Project Type: Dam Rehabilitation
<br />
<br />Jackson Lake Reservoir is located approximately 17 miles northwest of Fort Morgan and has an estimated storage
<br />capacity of 30,000 acre-feet. The dam has been in-place since 1902 and provides mainly late season irrigation water to
<br />about 17,00.0 acres ofland. The dam is not currently under any restriction by the State Engineer's Office, but the SEa
<br />has indicated concern about the existing dam facing, The proposed project is to provide a renewed slope protection
<br />along the upstream face of the dam. The existing concrete slabs have deteriorated over time, due to the extreme wave
<br />action and general freeze-thaw. The major component of the project is new soil cement faciug, approximately 3-4 feet
<br />thick, running along about 70% of the existing dam face (8,1 OO-feet). The new soil cement will be poured directly
<br />over the existing concrete slabs and will extend several feet below the toe of the embankment. W. W. Wheeler of
