. . . Water Source: nla Terms of Loan: $200,000 Project Yield: nla Project Type: Water Master Plan This project is a five-year program of technical studies aimed at the development of a long range, countywide water master plan. The purpose of the plan is to develop water resources, systems, and facilities in whole or in part for the benefit of the Authority members and their inhabitants, and other residents of the county, now and into the future. The County is currently focusing on eight study areas; El Paso County water resources, potential water import projects, optimum county water distribution infrastructure, water plan for private well owners, water reuse projects, synergistic projects with Colorado Springs utilities, other studies, and an overall project master plan summary. The Water Authority has completed Phases 1, 2A, 2B, 3, 4B, 4C, 4D, and 4E of the Master Plan. The overall Master Plan is approximately 60% complete. 8. Weld County Tri-Area Sanitation District - Regional Detention Pond Authorization: HB 00-1419 Water Source: nla Terms of Loan: $1,500,000 @5.00% for 30-years County: Weld - S. of Frederick Project Yield: nla Project Type: Regional Detention Pond The communities ofDacono, Frederick, Evanston, and Firestone have consistently experienced flooding problems due to storm runoff from irrigated farmlands and adjacent developments. These communities have suffered many recorded flooding events, dating back to 1957, which caused in excess of $300,000 in flood related damages. With significant population growth occurring within the District, the District cooperated in the development of the 1-25 Corridor Master Drainage Plan. The master drainage plan recommended that the existing detention pond located on the south side of Frederick be enlarged to a regional detention pond, to mitigate future flood damage to the surrounding communities. The regional detention pond would encompass over 60 acres of land and store approximately 146 acre-feet of stormwater during a 100-year event. The Sears-Brown Group is completing the design during the summer of2001, with construction tentatively scheduled to commence in the Fan of 200 1. 9. Larimer Count:)( - Dry Creek Multi-Objective Floodplain Proiect. Authorization: Water Source: Terms of Loan: SB 96-l52, Amended SB 97-8 County: Larimer - N. of Ft. Collins Dry Creek Basin Project Yield: NIA $920,000 @4.25% for 3D-years Project Type: Flood Mitigation Dry Creek is located north of Fort Collins, with a majority of its 75 square miles of drainage basin area located within Larimer County. The uppermost portion of the basin consists of rangeland and irrigated pastures. The lower portion of the basin within the city limits of Fort Collins consists of commercial, industrial, and residential development. Over the years the lower 2/3 of the Dry Creek floodplain corridor has almost been completely eliminated due to development. The 100-year runoff for Dry Creek is 5,022 cfs. The intent of the project is to control floodwaters in the upper basin area by means of detention facilities to reduce the peak discharge from 5022 cfs to 500 cfs above the Weld Canal, utilize a specifIC reaeh of the Weld Canal to transport the 500 cfs, and construct approximately 1.5 miles of new open channel from the Weld Canal to a designated point along Dry Creek, located downstream of existing development. The proposed improvements would remove over 800 structures out of the Dry Creek regulatory 100- year floodplain. The project is currently in the feasibility/preliminary design phase. Tentatively the project schedule is contingent upon future loan approval, which is currently planned to be presented to the Board at the November 2001 meeting. 10.
