<br />13. Weld County Tri-Area Santitation District - Regional Detention Pond <br />Authorization: HE 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 of Dacono, Frederick, Evanston, and Firestone have consistently experienced flooding <br />problems due to storm runoff from irrigated framlands and adjacent developments. These communities have suffered <br />many recorded flooding events, dating back to 1957, which caused in excess of $300,000 in flood related damages. With <br />significant population growth occuring within the District, the District cooperated in the development of the 1-25 Corridor <br />Master Drainage Plan. The master drainage plan recommended that the existing detention pond located on the sottth side <br />of Frederick be enlarged to a regional detention pond, to mitigate future flood damage to the surrounding communities. <br />The regional detention pond would encompass over 60 acres of land and store approximately 146 acre-feet of <br />stormwater during a 100-year event. The design is being completed by the Sears-Brown Group in 2000, with construction <br />tentatively scheduled to commence in the February 2001. <br /> <br />14. Larimer County - Dry Creek Multi-Objective Floodplain Project. <br />Authorization: SB 96-152, Amended SB 97-8 County: Larimer - N. of Ft. Collins <br />Water Source: Dry Creek Basin Project Yield: N/A <br />Terms of Loan: $920,000 @4.25% for 30-years Project Type: Flood Mitigation <br /> <br />Dry Creek is located north of Fort Collins, with a majority of its 75 square miles of drainage basin area located <br />within Larimer County. The ttppermost portion of the basin consists of range land and irrigated pastures. The lower <br />portion of the basin within the city limits of Fort Collins consists of commerical, industrial, and residential development. <br />Over the years the lower 2/3 of the Dry Creek floodplain corridor has almost been completely eliminated due to <br />development. The 100-year runoff for Dry Creek is 5,022 cfs. The intent of the project is to control floodwaters in the <br />Attpper basin area by means of detention facilities to reduce the peak discharge from 5022 cfs to 500 cfs above the Weld <br />-=anal, utilize a specific reach of the Weld Canal to transport the 500 cfs, and construct approximately 1.5 miles of new <br />open channel from the Weld Canal to a designated point along Dry Creek, located downstream of existing development. <br />The proposed improvements would remove over 800 structures out of the Dry Creek regulatory 100-year floodplain. <br />The project is currently in the feasibility/preliminary design phase. Tentatively construction is scheduled for summer of <br />2001. <br /> <br />_ <br />
