<br />In 1998 the State Engineer's Office restricted the storage height of the reservoir to be 9-ft. below the crest of
<br />the dam, reducing the storage capacity from 230 acre-ft. to 120 acre-ft. The storage restriction was due to
<br />excessive seepage and the poor condition of the spillway, Harrison Western Construction, and design/build
<br />group out of Denver, Colorado, was retained by the To>.vn to design and construct the necessary improvements
<br />to restore the dam to its original storage capacity of 239 acre-feet, The proposed improvements include,
<br />constructing a compacted earthfillliner on the upstream slope of the reservoir and floor, construct new toe
<br />drains, raise the embankment dam crest by 2.5-ft., place rip rap and liner protection material above the earthfill
<br />liner, spillway repairs, fill the old borrow pit within the reservoir, and spillway reconstruction. Harrison
