<br />8. Weld County Tri-Area Sanitation District - Regional Detention Pond
<br />Authorization: HB 00-1419 county: Weld- S. of Frederick
<br />Water Source: nJa Project Yield: nJa
<br />Terms of Loan: $1,500,000 @ 5,00% for 30-years Project Type: Regional Detention Pond
<br />
<br />The communities ofDacono, Frederick, Evanston, and Fitestone have consistently experienced flooding problems
<br />due to storm runoff from irrigated farmlands and adja.cent! developments. These communities have suffered many
<br />recorded flooding events, dating back to 1957, which caused in excess of $300,000 in flood related damages.
<br />With significant population growth occurring within the District, the District cooperated in the development of the
<br />1-25 Corridor Master Drainage Plan, The master drainag~ plan recommended that the existing detention pond
<br />located on the south side of Frederick be enlarged to a regional detention pond, to mitigate future flood damage to
<br />the surrounding communities. The regional detention popd would encompass over 60 acres ofland and store
<br />approximately 146 acre-feet of stormwater during a 100-year event. The Sears-Brown Group is completing the
<br />design during the summer of 2001, with construction ten~tively scheduled to commence in the Fall of 200 I.
