<br />control floodwaters in the upper basin area by means of detention facilities to reduce the peak discharge from
<br />5022 cfs to 500 cfs above the Weld Canal, utilize a specific reach of the Weld Canal to transport the 500 cfs, and
<br />construct approximately 1.5 miles of new open channel from the Weld Canal to a designated point along Dry
<br />Creek, located downstream of existing development. The proposed improvements would remove over 800
<br />structures out of the Dry Creek regulatory 100-year floodplain. The project is currently in the
<br />feasibility/preliminary design phase. Tentatively the project schedule is contingent upon future loan approval,
<br />which is currently planned to be presented to the Board at the November 200 I meeting,

<br />10, The Town of Monument -Monument Dam Rehabilitation
<br />Authorization: Severance Tax Trust Fund County: EI Paso m W, of Monument
<br />Water Source: Monument Creek Project Yield: 450 acre-feet
<br />Terms of Loan: $2,081,000 @5.50% for 30-years Project Type: Dam Rehabilitation
<br />
<br />Monument Lake is located on Monument Creek on the west side of the Town of Monument. The existing
<br />reservoir capacity is approximately 300 acre-feet, which is planned to be increased to 450 acre-feet be means of
<br />dredging, The existing lake is under limited storage by the State Engineer's Office, due to deteriorated outlet
<br />works, tree growth on the dam face, and inadequate slope protection and spillway capacity. The proposed project
<br />involves rehabilitating the spillway, outlet works, and dam embanlanent, to include; replacement of the existing
<br />outlet spillway chute below the spillway crest, removal and replacement of the top 10 feet of the dam
<br />embankment to clear all existing vegetation, replacement of the outlet works with a new 24-inch steel pipe, and
<br />the removal of approximately 150,000 cubic yards of sediment from the lake bottom, Boyle Engineering, of
<br />Littleton, Colorado, has completed the design and the project is currently in the bidding process, Construction is
<br />tentatively scheduled for September of 200 I.

<br />II, Pine River Irrigation District - Pumo and Pipeline Proiect
<br />Authorization: County: La Plata
<br />Water Source: Pine River Project Yield: 1,600 acre-feet
<br />Terms of Loan: $341,000 @3,50% for 20-years Project Type: Distribution System
<br />
<br />The Pine River Irrigation District operates Vallecito Reservoir on the Pine River located approximately 15 miles
<br />north of the Town of Bay field. The eastern half of La Plata County is considered a water critical area, meaning
<br />that all of the water in the basin is used during certain periods, Most of the people in this area are utilizing
<br />groundwater resources that have limited quantity and are of relative poor quality. The purpose of the project is
<br />to provide a rural water system that is adequate in quantity and quality to the water critical areas in La Plata
<br />County, The overall project has many components, however, this particular loan is for diverting water from
<br />Vallecito Reservoir to a pressurized treatment plant The proposed project involves tapping into the existing
<br />outlet tunnel, constructing a 500 foot pipeline to convey water to the treatment plant, a bridge over the spillway
<br />chute, and a pump when the reservoir water level is low or to pressurize the treatment plant. Harris Water
<br />Engineering, of Durango, Colorado, is preparing the design plans and specifications, which should be complete by
<br />the end of July, 2001. The project is tentatively scheduled to commence construction in the fall of 2001,

<br />Authorization:
<br />Water Source:
<br />Terms of Loan:
<br />
<br />County: Montezuma
<br />Dolores River Project Yield: 7,840 acre-feet
<br />$7,260,000 @3.50% for 30-years Project Type: Distribution System
<br />
<br />e
<br />
<br />The District's WETP ACK ( Water for Everyone Tomorrow Package) proposal is intended to better manage the
<br />available resources of the Dolores Project to provide an additional 3,300 acre-feet of water for the fishery below
<br />McPhee Dam, increase municipal water supplies, and to provide water of the irrigation of additional lands. This
<br />project involves a system of pipelines, pumps, and related facilities to deliver water to the District's Dove Creek
<br />Canal system for the irrigation of 4,000 acres of new lands that are presently dry land farmed, Water will be
<br />delivered to irrigators in pipes under pressure for sprinkler irrigation only, Harris Water Engineers, of Durango,
<br />Colorado, is the planning and design consultant for the project.
