Delivery: 206 acre-feet (consump. use) <br /> <br />ewes Construction Fund Loan: $309,500 <br /> <br />Interest Rate: 2.50% <br /> <br />Term: 30 years <br /> <br />UDC operates the Union Ditch providing direct flow irrigation water to an area of S,SOo-acres east of <br />the Town of laSalle and south of Greeley. Water is diverted from the South Platte River at a headgate <br />east of the Town of Milliken. UDC operates approximately 15 miles of ditch and typically delivers <br />about 29,000 acre-feet of irrigation water per year. UDC has filed an application for an <br />Augmentation Plan to provide replacement water for 40 junior wells owned by shareholders, <br />formerly serviced by GASP, to replace Qut-of-priority irrigation well depletions. As part of the <br />Augmentation Plan UDC will need 50 AF of developed recharge storage capacity to offset the <br />depletions. The project involves the development of three recharge structures, with the top priority <br />site, the Mecure #1 Site (20 AF) developed initially in 2004, and the remaining two sites totaling 30 <br />AF developed in 2005. Each pond would be filled by water that is diverted from the Union Ditch. <br />The construction of each site will include pond excavation, flow measurement structures (flumes on . <br />feeder canals or meters for pumps), headgate structures for feeder canals, and monitoring and <br />reporting measurement equipment (SCADA). The ponds will be relatively shallow in depth (< 10 <br />feet) and will include an earthen embankment around the perimeter of the pond. <br /> <br /> <br />. <br />," <br />_.3-<.1;' <br />~"1 <br /> <br />-. <br /> <br />:,','..1 <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />"'. <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />, <br />_c' <br />. <br /> <br />"' . <br /> <br />. , <br />'-' . <br />1\'-'. <br />, <br /> <br />-1 <br /> <br />. .~~ <br />. ...... <br />Project ~,_ <br />L ' , <br />ocatlOn ' <br /> <br />1,.- <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />.~~A r <br />;~""" <br /> <br />,-- <br />, <br />, .. <br /> <br />. <br />I :>' <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />-. <br /> <br />. <br />, <br />.'- <br />- <br />", <br /> <br />: , <br /> <br />. <br />. <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />. <br />. <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />:; <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />Location Map <br /> <br />Page 6 of 6 <br />
