<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 half of La Plata County is considered a water critical area, meaning
<br />that all of the water in the basin is used during certain periods, Most of the people in this area are utilizing
<br />groundwater resources that have limited quantity and are of relative poor quality, The purpose of the project is to
<br />provide a rural water system that is adequate in quantity and quality to the water critical areas in La Plata County. The
<br />overall project has many components, however, this particular loan is for diverting water from Vallecito Reservoir to a
<br />pressurized treatment plant The proposed project involves tapping into the existing outlet tunnel, constructing a 500
<br />foot pipeline to convey water to the treatment plant, a bridge over the spillway chute, and a pump when the reservoir
<br />water level is low or to pressurize the treatment plant. The project currently on-hold pending resolution of other
<br />outside funding issues,

<br />Lake, which is used for fish, wildlife, and recreation purposes by subdivision residents, is supplied by a junior water
<br />right that cannot be filled unless its consumptive use due to evaporation is replaced, The estimated average annual
<br />divertable volume is 110 acre,feet, and the evaporative loss needing augmentation is 46 acre,feet. The Association
<br />plans on purchasing senior water rights that are suitable for augmentation, Dam improvements include installing a
<br />low level outlet structure and raising the crest ofthe dam approximately 12,inches. Leonard Rice Consulting Water
