<br />The Larimer and Weld Irrigation Company operates a 40-miIe system of supply ditch, including control structures,
<br />checks, and headgates. This project is to rehabilitate 10 existing check structures, construct one new check
<br />structure on the Larimer and Weld Ditch, and to refinance the cost of 3 check structures constructed in 2002 along
<br />the ditch. The new check structures will consist of Obenneyer pnewnatically operated gates to automatically check
<br />and control the ditch. The gates are opened and closed by a 12-volt DC power air pump that inflates a durable
<br />rubber bladder on the downstream side of the gate to raise and lower the gate. Smith Geotechnical has completed
<br />the flnal design plans and the project has been awarded to Kiefer Concrete, Inc., and Barker Construction, Inc., both
<br />from Fort Collins, Colorado. The Contractor completed 4 check structures in the fall of 2004 and is currently
<br />working on the remaining structures. The project is anticipated to be complete in May of 2004,

<br />Subdistrict has 650 members with 966 junior wells and has operated an augmentation plan for these member since
<br />1973. On December .17, 2001, the Colorado Supreme Court issued a judgment that changed the manner of operation
<br />for substitute supply plans in Colorado. The ruling stated that the State Engineer did not have the legal authority to
<br />approve substitute supply plans. The Court also stated that substitute supply plans, such as the one operated by
<br />CCWCD would either have to me for a decree in Water Court or follow new Rules and Regulations to be issued by
<br />the State Engineer. This ruling has required CCWCD to acquire more senior water rights as well as build additional
<br />storage to augment out-of-priority diversions. CCWCD is in the process of acquiring additional senior water rights.
<br />Additional storage facilities will be desigued in 2003 and constructed in 2003, 2004 and 2005.
