Water Rights and Flood Hydrology <br />D.l Water Rights <br />There are two points of diversion for the Greeley and Loveland Irrigation system which <br />include the Big Barnes Ditch and Loveland and Greeley CanaL The Big Barnes Ditch diverts water <br />from the Big Thompson River into Lake Loveland as shown on Figure Ill-I. The water is then <br />conveyed into Horseshoe Reservoir by Lake Loveland's north outlet. The water is then regulated <br />into Boyd Lake or into Heinricy Lake, The water is then regulated into Boyd Lake once again or into <br />Upper and Lower Hoffinan Lakes. Westerdoll Lake presently collects local drainage and the water <br />is then regulated into Upper and Lower Hoffinan Lakes. The water is then regulated into the Greeley <br />and Loveland Canal at Hubbs Check. The water is then conveyed via Greeley and Loveland Canal <br />into Equalizer Reservoir. Equalizer Reservoir regulates the water in the Greeley and Loveland Canal <br />system for agricultural use east of Loveland, <br /> <br />The City of Greeley has the ability to divert water for municipal use from Lake Loveland via <br />a pipeline into a holding pond just west of Boyd Lake and north of Lower Hoffinan Lake, The water <br />from the holding pond is then piped to the treatment facility located just south of Boyd Lake, The <br />City also has the ability to divert water directly from Boyd Lake into their treatment facilities, Boyd <br />Lake water can also be diverted through an outlet located on the east side of Boyd Lake back into <br />the Greeley and Loveland Canal. <br /> <br />The second point of diversion, Greeley and Loveland Canal, diverts water from the Big <br />Thompson River downstream of the Big Barnes Ditch diversion, The water is then regulated by <br />Hubbs Check into Equalizer Reservoir. <br /> <br />Table Ill-2lists the reservoirs' storage capacities, Tables Ill-3 and Ill-4 list the direct flow <br />and storage rights of the Greeley and Loveland Inigation Company, respectively. The average annual <br />yield of the overall system is 66,359 acre-feet. This project will not provide any additional water <br />rights or water supplies for the Company. <br /> <br />E:\G&LREPOR.
