<br />residential development. Over the years the lower 2/3 of the Dry Creek floodplain corridor has almost been <br />completely eliminated due to development. The 100-year runofffor Dry Creek is 5,022 cfs. The intent of . <br />the project is to control floodwaters in the upper basin area by means of detention facilities to reduce the peak <br />discharge from 5022 cfs to 500 cfs above the Weld Canal, utilize a specific reach of the Weld Canal to <br />transport the 500 cfs, and construct approximately 1.5 ll;liles of new open channel from the Weld Canal to a <br />designated point along Dry Creek, located downstream of existing development. The proposed improvements <br />would remove over 800 structures out of the Dry Creek regulatory 100-year floodplain, The project is <br />currently in the feasibility/preliminary design phase. Project loan approval was granted by the Board at the <br />November 2001 Board Meeting, The project tentatively scheduled for construction in the fall/winter of <br />2003/2004. <br /> <br />8. Pine River Irrigation District - Pump and Pipeline Proiect <br />Authorization: HB 00-1419 Severance Tax ' 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 <br />miles north of the Town of Bayfield. The eastern halfpfLa Plata County is considered a water critical area, <br />meaning that all of the water in the basin is used during certain periods. Most of the people in this area are <br />utilizing groundwater resources that have limited quantity and are of relative poor quality. The purpose of <br />the project is to provide a rural water system that is adequate in quantity and quality to the water critical areas <br />in La Plata County, The overall project has many components, however, this particular loan is for diverting <br />water from Vallecito Reservoir to a pressurized treatm~nt plant The proposed project involves tapping into <br />the existing outlet tunnel, constructing a 500 foot pipeline to convey water to the treatment plant, a bridge over <br />the spillway chute, and a pump when the reservoir water level is low or to pressurize the treatment plant, <br />The project currently on-hold pending resolution of other outside funding issues, . <br /> <br />9. Dolores Water Conservancv District - WETP ACK , <br />Authorization: SB 01-157 County: Montezuma <br />Water Source: Dolores River Project Yield: 7,840 acre-feet <br />Terms of Loan: $7,260,000 @3.50% for 30-years ,Project Type: Distribution System <br /> <br />The District's WETP ACK ( Water for Everyones Tom~rrow Package) proposal is intended to better manage <br />the available resources of the Dolores Project to provide an additional 3,300 acre-feet of water for the fishery <br />below McPhee Dam, increase municipal water supplie$, and to provide water of the irrigation of additional <br />lands. This project involves a system of pipelines, pumps, and related facilities to deliver water to the <br />District's Dove Creek Canal system for the irrigation of 4,000 acres of new lands that are presently dry land <br />famJed, Water will be delivered to irrigators in pipes i.mder pressure for sprinkler irrigation only, Harris <br />Water Engineers, of Durango, Colorado, is the planning and design consultant for the project. Construction <br />is tentatively scheduled to commence in the summer of2003 <br /> <br />10.
