Weld County Tri-Area Sanitation District - Regional DeteJllion Pond <br /> <br />Authorization: HB 00-1419 <br />Water Source: n/a <br />Terms of Loan: $1,500,000@5.00%for30-years <br /> <br />County: Weld - S. of Frederick <br />Project Yield: n/a <br />ProjeCt Type: Regional Detention Pond <br /> <br />The communities of Dacono, Frederick, Evanston, and Firestdne have consistently experienced flooding problems due <br />to storm runoff from irrigated farmlands and adjacent deve10p1nents. These communities have suffered many recorded <br />flooding events, dating back to 1957, which caused in excess I>f$300,000 in flood related damages. With significant <br />population growth occurring within the District, the District cooperated in the development of the 1-25 Corridor Master <br />Drainage Plan. The master drainage plan recommended that the existing detention pond located on the south side of <br />Frederick be enlarged to a regional detention pond, to mitigate,' future flood damage to the surrounding communities. _ <br />The regional detention pond would encompass over 60 acres ofland and store approximately 146 acre-feet of ... <br />stormwater during a 100-year event. The design is being conducted by the Sears-Brown Group, and should be <br />complete by December of 200 1, with construction tentatively' scheduled to commence in the Winter of 2002. <br /> <br />29! <br />
