<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Terms of Loan: $920,000 @4.25% for 30-years Project Type: Flood Mitigation <br /> <br />Dry Creek is located north of Fort Collins. with a majority of its 75 square miles of drainage basin area <br />located within Larimer County. The uppermost portion of the basin consists of rangeland and irrigated pastures. <br />The lower portion of the basin within the city limits of Fort Collins consists of commercial. industrial, and <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 runoff for Dry Creek is 5.022 cfs. The intent of the <br />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 transport <br />the 500 cfs. and construct approximately 1.5 miles of new open channel from the Weld Canal to a designated <br />point along Dry Creek, located downstream of existing development. The proposed improvements would remove <br />over 800 structures out of the Dry Creek regulatory 100-year floodplain. The project is currently in the <br />feasibility/preliminary design phase. Tentatively construction is scheduled for summer of 2001. <br />
