Monument. The existing reservoir capacity is approximately 300 acre-feet, which is planned to be increased to 450 acre-feet be means of dredging. 'the existing lake is under limited storage by the State Engineer's Office, due to deteriorated outlet works, tree growth on the dam face, and inadequate slope protection and spillway capacity. The proposed project involves rehabilitating the spillway, outlet works, and dam embankment, to include; replacement of the existing outlet spillway chute below the spillway crest, removallllld rep1ilcement of the top 10 feet of the dam embankment to clear all existing vegetation, rep!al:emc!nt of the outlet works with a new 24.inch steel pipe, and the removal of approximately 150,00'0 cubic yards of sediment from the lake hottom. Boyle Engineering, of Littleton, Colorll(\o, has completed the design and the project is currently in the bidding process. Construction is tentatively scheduled for August of 200 I. 14. Pine River Irrillation District - Pumll and Pipe1i~ Proiect Authorization: Water Source: Pine River Teons of Loan: $341,000 @3.50% for 20.years County: La Plata Project Yield: 1,600 acre-feet Project Type: Distribution System .' '. e The Pine River lITigation District operates Vallecito Reservoir on the Pine River located approximately IS miles north of the Town of Ba)'field. The eastern half of La Plata County is considered a water critical area, meaninS that all of the water in the basin is used during certain periods. Most of the people in this area are utilizi11-g groundwater resources that have limited quantity and are of relative poor quality. The purpose of the project is to provide a rural water system that is adequate in quantity and quality to the Water critical areas in La Plata County. The overall project has many components, however, this 'particular loan is for diverting water from Vallecito Reservoir to a pressurized treatment plant The proposed project involves tapping into the . existing outlet tunnel, constructing a 500 foot pilleline to convey water to the treatment plant, a . bridge over the spillway chute, and a pump when the reservoir water level is low or to pressurize the treatment plant. Harris Water Engineering, of purango, Colorado, is preparing the design plans and specifications, which should be completel:lY the end of May, 2001. The project is tentatively scheduled to commence construction in July of2ool. 15. Dolores Water Conservancy District - WE'I'PACK Authorization: County: Montezuma Water Source: Dolores River Project Yield: 7,840 acre-feet Terms of Loan: $7,260,000 @3.50% for 30-years Project Type: Distribution System The District's WETPACK ( Water for Eyeryones Tomorrow Package) proposal is intended to better manage the available resOurc~s of the Dolores Project to provide an additional 3,300 acre-feet of water for the fishery below McPhee Dam, increase municipal water supplies, and to provide water of the irrigation of additional lands. This project involves a system of pipelines, pumps, and related facilities to deliver water to the District's Dove Creek ClUtal system for the irrigation of 4,oQo acres of new lands that are presently dry land farmed. Water will be delivered to irrigl\tors in pipes under pressure for sprinkler irrigation only. Harris Water Engineers, of ~ango, Colorado, is the planning and design consultant for the project. .
