<br />CWCB Construction Fund Loan Application <br /> <br />Springdale Ditch Company Projects <br />Springdale Ditch Company proposes to driI1 a total of three wells at the current time. One <br />Augmentation Well, requiring drilling of the well, electric motor, pane~ underground pipe and wire of <br />about I, I 00 feet, in which the well will be pumped in the sununer to oflSet depletions of irrigation wells <br />used by members of the Springdale Ditch. Two Recharge Wells will be driI1ed and need motors, panels <br />and pipe of about 800 feet per well. The Recharge Wells will be operated during recharge period <br />Nov.1 thru April I, as needed, to supply to the ditch recharge water for the coming years irrigation <br />well depletions. All wells will require the use of propeller flow meters to accurately record the water <br />being recharged. Springdale has a fourth well pennit for a recharge well that we can exercise the use <br />within two years if more water is needed and can be recharged. At present, we feel the three wells will <br />be sufficient, but want to leave the option open if the fourth well is needed. The Baney recharge sight <br />will be leased by the ditch company and the ditch company will provide measuring instruments and <br />earth work in exchange for the lease along with a 80/20 share of water credits. This sight is <br />approximately 15 acres and provides a pond close to the head end of the Ditch for close recharge. <br />Keller Recharge area is approximately seven acres in size with the landowner retaining ownership of <br />the pond. This pond will require the Ditch Company to provide the measuring clock to receive a 50/50 <br />share of water credit, that is the standard except for unusual circumstances. Fritzler Pond is five acres <br />and has a decree from water court for storage and recharge. To utilize this pond, the Ditch Company <br />proposes to put a lift pump housed by perforated concrete rings in the ditch to till the pond because it is <br />above the ditch and won't gravity flow. Being a decreed pond, the Ditch Company will incur all <br />expenses in order to keep a 50/50 share. Schuman pond is 20+ acres and will require the same <br />landowner agreement of 50/50. At present, we are waiting to have core samples done to a munber of <br />sights that could be in addition to the listed ponds. If the sights become avai1able, the Ditch Company. <br />will have a need for more measuring clocks. The ditch end is something that needs measuring for tail <br />water exiting the ditch. Currently, we have 'no measuring device and will be required to instal1 one to <br />measure run out. All resources listed here give Springdale Ditch Company the assets to fully augment <br />their wells with the potential to have extra water available for sale to other a Ditch Companies within <br />the User Group. By augmenting our own wells, we can receive a refund from GASP for all the water <br />created by the ditch, which is in excess of$35,000.00 annually. <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br />CFLA902 <br />
