COLORADO WATER i CONS~:R'JAT!O~1 BOARD APPENDIX A SCOPE OF HORl< FEASIBILITY STUDY for SUH:lI':' RESERVOIR HIPROVEHENTS PREPARED FOR COLORADO WATER CONSERVATION BOARD Introduc::ion The Summit Irrigation Company owns and operates a system of three reservoirs and associated diversion canals and delivery canals. Summit Reservoir is the main component of the system providing about 5900 acre-feet (hF) of water storage. Summit Reservoir was originally built in the late 1910's then enlarged in 1938 to its present capacity. The Colorado State Engineer has inspected the dam periodically, with the last inspec- tion occurring in Spring 1963. The Spring 1983 inspection reconf.~ ~med the recommendations made previously, which are: 1. Remove brush and other growth along the dam. 2. Proper abandonmen:: of the outlet which is not used. 3. Establish exact crest contour to confirm available freeboard. 4. Placement of station m~rkers along daQ. 5. Identify active seepage areas then provide drains, filters, or other corrective actio~. 6. Develop a regular program for inspection and monitoring of the dam. The condition of the south di~e, forming the reservoir, is especially bad. The State ~ngineer has said that the reser~oir level will be restricted to a depth three feet less than current levels, if repairs are not made to the south dike. The work described in this Exhibit involves preparation of a feasibility report that v;ill address the costs and ~enefits associated with impro'lements to Summit Reservoir Dam. Specifi- cally: designs and costs to implement items 3, 5, and 6 will be prepared; the adequacy of water rights w~ll be investigated; the lands will be analyzed to determ~ne repayment ability and benefits; a program for financing the repairs ~ill be formulated; the abil- ity of the company to pay for the repairs will be shown; and a feasibility report prepared. The following describes the work to be accomplished. APPENDIX A
