The $100;000 loan authorization was for improvements to the dam to address <br />safety concerns raised by the State Engineer's Office. <br /> <br />Cedar Mesa Reservoir is located on the Grand Mesa, approximately 12 miles north of the <br />Town of Cedar edge. The dam is 47-feet high and approximately 1,250 in length, with a storage <br />capacity of 903 acre-feet. The Office of the State Engineer, Dam Safety Branch, restricted the <br />capacity of the reservoir in June of 2000, due to seepage concerns along the downstream slope of <br />the dam. <br /> <br />Knight Piesold, Denver, Colorado, completed the feasibility study for the project in July of <br />2001. The total project cost to address embankment seepage was estimated at $131,962, <br />
