<br />Water Supply Reserve Account – Grant and Loan Program <br />Water Activity Summary Sheet <br /> <br /> <br />Applicant: . <br />Overland Ditch and Reservoir Co <br />Water Activity Name: <br /> Overland Reservoir Dam Expansion/Restoration <br />Water Activity Purpose: <br /> Technical Assistance (Feasibility Study) <br />County: <br /> Delta <br />Drainage Basin: <br /> Gunnison <br />Water Source: <br /> Cow, Leroux, Terror, Hubbard, Elk Creeks and Roatcap Gulch <br />Amount Requested: <br /> $68,000 <br />Source of Funds: <br />Statewide Account <br />Matching Funds: <br />None <br /> <br />Water Activity Summary: <br />The Overland Ditch and Reservoir Company (The Overland), a non-profit mutual ditch company <br />formed in Colorado in 1895, has prepared a detailed grant application for funding to obtain the <br />necessary technical assistance regarding permitting, feasibility studies, and yield analysis so that the <br />planned project may move ahead. This request translates into less than 5% of the overall expected <br />cost of the project, which is estimated at $1,400,000.00. The Overland needs to expand the dam and <br />reservoir in order to store 971 acre feet of water for which The Overland currently holds a 1902 <br />(adjudicated 1920) conditional storage decree. Should The Overland not expand the reservoir, the <br />decree will eventually be lost to a more junior decree. The more junior decree will most probably fall <br />under the 1922 Colorado River Pact. That means the State of Colorado will be subject to conditions <br />of the 1922 pact regarding control of this water. <br />The funds will be used to aid in the completion of the engineering necessary to finish the applications <br />for the permits and approvals that are required before the project can continue.
