The Welch Ditch also serves as the supply ditch for the Midway Reservoirs. The Midway <br /> <br /> <br />Reservoirs supplement the water supply to users on the lower portions of the Agricultural Ditch, which <br /> <br /> <br />allows for greater use of other supplies in the upper reaches of the ditch. The Welch Ditch can provide <br /> <br /> <br />irrigation water to a service area of up to 2,300 acreS. The facilities and service area associated with the <br /> <br /> <br />Welch are shown on Figure 1. <br /> <br />The water rights associated with the Welch Ditch consist of decreed direct flow rights from Clear Creek. <br />These rights were adjudicated in ] 884 for a cumulative total of 27.525 cfs. An extension and enlargement <br />right of the Welch Ditch, known as the Agricultural Reservoir Ditch, was adjudicated in 1936 for 24 cfs; <br />however, this enlargement is intended for the Agrictlltural Ditch shareholders. A list of the water rights <br />associated with the Welch ditch is provided below. <br /> <br />Priority Appropriation Date AdilJdication Date Amount ( cfs) <br />4 5119/1860 10/4/1884 0.225 <br />12(2) 5/131186 I ] 0/411884 1.30 <br />55 2/] ]1187 I 10/411884 26.00 <br />75 6/211900 5/1311936 24.00 <br /> <br />The State Engineer's Office Annual Diversion Records for 1994 and ]995 are included in Appendix B. <br />The acquisition of additional water rights will not be necessary for this project. <br /> <br />Need for the Project <br /> <br />The Ditch Company is undertaking this project to provide for a more efficient, reliable and consistent use <br /> <br /> <br />of the Welch Ditch water supply. The proposed project involves the replacement and abandonment of <br /> <br /> <br />certain high-maintenance portions of the Welch Ditch. To maintain service to the existing users, Welch <br /> <br /> <br />Ditch water will be dropped into and conveyed in the Agricultural Ditch past abandoned sections of thc <br /> <br />- 2 - <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />I Bishop-Brogden Associates, !ne. <br />
