<br />, <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />Water Project Construction Loan Program. Project Data Sheet <br /> <br />Borrower: <br /> <br />Larimer and Weld Irrigation Co. <br /> <br />County: Weld <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Project Name: Larimer and Weld Ditch (Eaton) Project Type: Rehabilitation/Replacement <br /> <br />Drainage Basin: South Platte Water Source: Cache la Poudre. CST <br /> <br />Total Project Cost: $1.666,700 Funding Sources: ewes <br /> <br />Type of Borrower: Agricultural Aver. Delivery: 90,000 acre-feet <br /> <br />CWCB STTFPBA Loan: $1,500,000 <br /> <br />Interest Rate: 2.50% <br /> <br />Term: 30 years <br /> <br />The Larimer and Weld Irrigation Company (LWIC) operates a system of approximately 40 miles of <br />supply ditch, including control structures, checks and headgates. The LWIC service area extends <br />from the Cache la Poudre diversion north of Fort Collins east to near the town of Galeton. <br />encompassing approximately 86,000 acres, 55,000 acres of which are irrigated farm land. The <br />Company has direct flow rights from their diversion in the Cache la Poudre River, and is also a <br />carrier ditch for reservoir water owned by their stockholders and stockholders in several other ditch <br />and reservoir companies, as well as CBT water owned by stockholders. Total water delivered <br />through the Larimer & Weld system averages approximately 90,000 acre-feet per year. The LWIC <br />is applying for a $1,500,000 loan to rehabilitate several structures on the Larimer & Weld Ditch <br />(Eaton Ditch), including replacing one equalizer check structure (Lake Lee Dam), replacing the Big <br />Windsor Reservoir check and inlet structure, and replacing one check structure (Finley), located <br />downstream of the existing structure. The Lake Lee Dam and the Big Windsor Inlet are concrete . <br />control and conveyance structures that are in disrepair and have reached obsolescence. With the <br />failure of these two structures, LWIC would have a difficult time operating the ditch and would lose <br />water that is normally stored in the reservoir. The Finley check structure has no means to apply <br />stop logs or other measures to temporarily check the ditch and is undermined at the base slab and <br />side walls. <br /> <br />""':. <br />". <br /> <br />, \ . <br />IPierbt <br /> <br />\ <br /> <br />Purcell~ <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />'1 Srj ~,Ie' <br /> <br /> <br />... . <br />, <br /> <br />..,\.....~~. <br /> <br />\ "" <br />. ,'r <br />, <br />" <br /> <br />~. <br /> <br />-. <br /> <br />31 <br />, <br />) Kf:r~ <br />~'''''';:,l.. , <br />~ "'--.... <br />,.- ::\ - <br />~ ~,ten -j...9- <br /> <br />Location Map <br /> <br />. <br />
