<br />23. Owl Creek Reservoir Company - Reservoir Rehabilitation <br />Authorization: Construction Fund County: Weld <br />Water Source: Owl Creek Basin Project Yield: 1,200 acre-feet <br />Terms of Loan: $1,125,000 @2.75% for 30-years Project Type: Reservoir Rehabilitation <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Owl Creek Reservoir is located approximately 6 miles east and 3 miles north of the Town of Ault. The reservoir <br />was originally constructed in 1896 to store water.for irrigation. The dam was comtructed of granular material, and <br />over the years has suffered structural damage due to seepage. Given the condition of the dam embankment and the <br />potential for failure, the dam was intentionally breached in 1983. The proposed project involves rehabilitating the <br />existing dam embankment, the construction of a controlled outlet structure, and the construction of an emergency <br />spillway. The project is currently being design by the Applegate Group, Denver, Colorado, and is scheduled for <br />comtruction in the winter/spring of 2004. <br /> <br />24. Pine River Irrigation District - Pump and Pipeline Proiect <br />Authorization: HB 00-1419 Severance Tax County: La Plata <br />Water Source: Pine River Project Yield: 1,600 acre-feet <br />Terms of Loan: $341,000@3.50%for20-years Project Type: Distribution System <br /> <br />The Pine River hrigation District operates ValIecito Reservoir on the Pine River located approximately 15 miles north of <br />the Town of BayfieId. The eastern half of La Plata County is considered a water critical area, meaning that all of the <br />water in the basin is used during certain periods. Most of the people in this area are utilizing groundwater resources that <br />have limited quantity and are of relative poor quality. The purpose of the project is to provide a rural water system that <br />is adequate in quantity and quality to the water critical areas in La Plata County. The overall project has many <br />components, however, this particular loan is for diverting water from VaIlecito Reservoir to a pressurized treatment plant <br />The proposed project involves tapping into the existing outlet tunnel, constmcting a 500 foot pipeline to convey water to <br />the treatment plant, a bridge over the spillway chute, and a pump when the reservoir water Ievel is low or to pressurize <br />the treatment plant. The project is currently on-hold pending resolution of other outside funding issues. <br /> <br />25.
