througb a concrete flume and into the Beaver Creek sipbon, a 32-incb diameter steel pipe siphon, 2300 feet in length. dropping an estimated 100 feet in elevation, as it runs under Beaver Creek. The current siphon was built in 1955-1957, with a design life of 30 years, and is in deteriorated condition. The steel has oxidized to the point where the pipe walls have tbinned in many places beyond repair. A new 30-inch PVC pipe, designed by the Durango NRCS Office to carry 37 cfs, will replace the existing siphon. NRCS is scheduled to have the design complete by September of 2004 with construction to follow in October of 2004. . 3. North Poudre Irrigation Company - Miner's Lake Rehabilitation Autborization: Serverance Tax Trust Fund County: Larimer Water Source: Cacbe La Poudre River Project Yield: 417 AF Terms of Loan: $608,000 @3.25% for 20 years Project Type: Reservoir Rehabilitation The North Poudre Irrigation Company owns and operates 22 storage reservoirs and approximately 200 miles of ditcbes to a service area of 42,000 acres.

The existing dam is a Class 2 facility, 800' in length, and 18-ft. in height. The project involves regarding the upstream dam face and adding rip rap, regarding and reinforcing the downstream face of the darn, adding a filter blanket and toe drain and enlarging the spillway.

Authorization: Water Source: Terms of Loan: SB 96-152. Amended SB 97-8 Dry Creek Basin $920,000 @4.25% for 30-years County: Larimer - N. of Ft. Collins Project Yield: N/ A Project Type: Flood Mitigation Dry Creek is located north of Fort Collins, with a majority of its 75 square miles of drainage basin area located . within Larimer County. The uppermost portion of the basin consists of rangeland and irrigated pastures. The lower portion of the basin within the city limits of Fort Collins consists of commercial, industrial, and residential development. Over the years the lower 2/3 of the Dry Creek floodplain corridor has almost been completely eliminated due to development. The 100-year runoff for Dry Creek is 5,022 cfs. The intent of the project is to control floodwaters in the upper basin area by means of detention facilities to reduce the peak discharge from 5022 cfs to 500 cfs above the Weld Canal, utilize a specific reacb of the Weld Canal to transport the 500 cfs, and construct approximately 1.5 miles of new open channel from the Weld Canal to a designated point along Dry Creek, located downstream of existing development. The proposed improvements would remove over 800 structures out of the Dry Creek regulatory 100-year floodplain. The project is currently in the feasibility/preliminary design phase. Project loan approval was granted by the Board at the November 2001 Board Meeting. The project is tentatively on-hold pending fmal approval by the City of Fort Collins and Larimer County to go ahead with the loan. 5.
