On September 27, 2018, a delegation from Dolores County and San Miguel County met with the Montrose County Commissioners, and the County’s attorney and Director of Government Affairs in Naturita. The goal was to inform and update Montrose County on the draft legislation since the County has two relatively new Commissioners. The outcome of the meeting was that Montrose County will continue to assess whether it can support the NCA and if so, under what circumstances. Outreach efforts also may include a workshop with representatives of entities involved in establishing other NCAs (both in Colorado and in Utah). ~COLORADO RIVER BASIN~ UPPER COLORADO WILD AND SCENIC STAKEHOLDER GROUP UPDATE— CWCB Staff continues to engage in the Upper Colorado Wild and Scenic Stakeholder Group (SG). The SG is collecting information to better understand the resources in its focal area, including a study on macroinvertebrates and continued user surveys of recreationalists that use the river. The SG continues to work towards final ORV Indicators and Resource guides to protect recreational floatboating and recreational fishing. One hot topic being discussed by the group is the appropriate role for considering “channel maintenance flows” in the final Management Plan that the SG is working to complete by June 2020. Channel maintenance flows move bedload substrate, are typically similar to bankful flows, and benefit both aquatic life and recreational floatboating. The SG Plan provides that during the provisional period while working on the final Management Plan, the SG agrees to study the extent to which channel maintenance flow guides will be incorporated into that Plan. Stakeholders are discussing whether these flows should be included, and, if so, the role they should hold in the Plan. Other flow discussions include seasonal and flushing flows. (Linda Bassi) 3 HIGH FLOW EXPERIMENT AT GLEN CANYON DAM— The Department of the Interior will conduct a High Flow Experiment (HFE) at Glen Canyon Dam on November 5-8. Monsoonal floods in August led to more than 560,000 tons of sediment entering the Colorado River through the Paria River below Glen Canyon Dam. The HFE simulates a flood, moving that sediment load downstream to rebuild sandbars in the Grand Canyon. Dam releases under this HFE will reach a peak magnitude of 38,100 cfs for 60 hours. The total annual volume of water released will not change; other monthly releases will be reduced to account for the HFE. Colorado actively participated in discussions leading up to Interior’s decision. Colorado’s representatives were torn as to the best course of action because of concerns stemming from a hypothesis that fall HFEs may be a significant factor in promoting population growth of the highly piscivorous brown trout. These brown trout may prey upon the endangered humpback chub that lives in the Grand Canyon below the dam. There is no conclusive evidence that the HFEs are a causal contributor to the brown trout and thus the US Fish and Wildlife Service and other federal agencies supported the HFE. Colorado ultimately chose to abstain from a recommendation to Interior on this matter. (Carlee Brown) NATIONAL PARK SERVICE EA ON NON NATIVE AQUATIC SPECIES BELOW GLEN CANYON DAM— The National Park Service (NPS) has issued an expanded Environmental Assessment (EA) to treat non-native aquatic species below Glen Canyon Dam. Recent increases of brown trout populations at Lees Ferry—along with the persistence of other non-native species of concern like the green sunfish—have led NPS to seek more management options through the expanded EA. The Upper Colorado River Commission (UCRC) participated as a Cooperating Agency and Colorado was active in that process as a UCRC member. Colorado also offered comments on the EA as a member of the public, echoing the comments in the UCRC’s past letters. Options considered in the EA include incentivized harvest, mechanical removal, and chemical treatment. NPS is currently in the process of preparing a final decision document. (Carlee Brown) FUNDING FOR THE COLORADO RIVER ENDANGERED FISH RECOVERY PROGRAMS AND GLEN CANYON ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM— Funding for the Upper Colorado and San Juan Endangered Fish Recovery Programs, along with the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program, has been secured for FY19. The President has signed an Energy and Water Appropriations bill that provides a year's worth of appropriations for these programs. CWCB, DNR, and Colorado AG staff actively worked with other state and non-federal partners to convey the value in funding these programs. These efforts included sending a letter from the Governors of the four Upper Colorado River Basin states; a separate letter from the the seven Colorado River Basin State principals; and other letters and requests made by Colorado Water Congress, Colorado Water Users, environmental organizations, and tribes. These letters primarily requested that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) withdraw a directive to the Western Area Power Administration that prevents the transfer of Colorado River Storage Project hydropower revenues to the Bureau of Reclamation -- the typical funding mechanism for the programs. OMB did not withdraw the directive; rather, this one year fix will be paid for via appropriations. The suite of letters and support was influential in securing this one year of funding; however, larger issues regarding the future ability to use hydropower funds remains. CWCB staff and program partners are still working on securing funding for all programs and reauthorizing the recovery programs through 2023. Two bills are making their way through Congress. Senate Bill 2166 and House Bill 4465 reauthorize the recovery programs and secures funding through 2023. S. 2166 has recently passed out of Committee. H.R. 4465 has passed out of the House. No further action on the bills will likely be taken until Congress reconvenes after the election. CWCB staff's objective is to get a bill passed in the session of Congress after the election. (Jojo La) 4 COLORADO RIVER BASIN SALINITY CONTROL PROGRAM— The Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Forum held its fall meeting in Santa Fe, New Mexico on October 29-30. The Forum heard reports from the federal agencies involved in the Program, including from the Bureau of Reclamation its plan to open a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) for salinity control projects in June 2019. This FOA is still tentative as it needs to pass through a waiver process with Department of Interior leadership in order to proceed. The funding provided through this process is at the heart of what the Salinity Control Program does: irrigation infrastructure improvements made possible through the FOA dollars help reduce deep percolation of water through saline soils in the Colorado Basin, reducing the amount of salt dissolved in the water and reducing the level of treatment needed for the Lower Basin water users. If the FOA proceeds as intended, applications will be due in September 2019; contracting will be completed in time for project implementation in 2020.

Please check the website (http://cwcb.state.co.us/public-information/flood-water-availability-taskforces/Pages/main.aspx) for additional information. DROUGHT UPDATE— As a result of the persistent drought conditions throughout parts of Colorado, the Governor activated the State Drought Response Plan for the agricultural sector in 40 Colorado Counties. This activation remains in effect for Montezuma, La Plata, Archuleta, Conejos, Costilla, Las Animas, Baca, Prowers, Bent, Otero, Huerfano, Alamosa, Rio Grande, Mineral, Hinsdale, San Juan, Dolores, San Miguel, Ouray, Montrose, Saguache, Custer, Pueblo, Crowley, Kiowa, Cheyenne, Lincoln, El Paso, Elbert, Gunnison, Mesa, Delta, Garfield, Rio Blanco, Pitkin, Eagle, Summit, Grand, Moffat & Routt counties. The USDA has issued primary secretarial drought designations for 47 counties in the state, and contiguous designations for an addition 10 counties. th The 2018 Water Year ended on September 30 as the warmest and the second driest in 124 years of records. Some communities on the Western Slope saw double their average for 90 degree days during the year, the Town of Gateway had 46 consecutive days without precipitation, and statewide thousands of daily records were broken. Significantly more record high minimum temperatures were broken than daytime high temperatures; indicating less nighttime cooling. Early estimates indicate that 120K acres of crops failed while 150K acres were prevented from being planted. Fires burned four times more land than an in average year, making it one of the worst fire seasons in Colorado’s history. st Water Year 2019, which began on October 1 , has seen above normal precipitation and below average temperatures across large areas of the state. This has helped to relieve some drought conditions but as of October 23rd, exceptional drought, D4, continues to affect southern Colorado covering 14 percent of the state, a five percent increase since the last board update. Extreme drought, D3, has decreased since the last update to covers 25 percent of the state; severe drought 20 percent and nine percent is classified as moderate drought. An additional 16 percent of the state is currently experiencing abnormally dry conditions. An El Niño watch remains in effect, meaning there is a greater than 70 percent chance of an El Niño developing, which could bring an increased chance of wet extremes for southern Colorado beginning late this Fall, however the Northwest corner remain an area of concern as El Niño can result in dry conditions to the north. The Drought Task Force and the Agricultural Impact Task Force will continue to monitor conditions and respond accordingly. (Taryn Finnessey) CO WATER LOSS INITIATIVE— Kevin has started the CO Water Loss Initiative which will culminate in a 2-year training and technical assistance water loss control program for water providers across Colorado. Kevin convened a small advisory group to weigh in on the scope of work and to assist with the development of the programming. The contract was awarded to the Cavanaugh and Associates/Water Systems Optimization team in early June. Approximately 60 water providers have signed up so far for the training that will begin in Spring 2019. (Kevin Reidy) LAND/WATER PLANNING NEXUS— CWCB Staff is working with counterparts from DOLA to create trainings and other related projects specified in SB 15-008 (AKA the land use bill). This bill stated that the CWCB and DOLA would 7 create trainings for land use and water planning professionals in order to incorporate water conservation and demand management best practices into land use planning. Additional work is as follows: CWCB and DOLA are working with the Babbitt Water Center, out of AZ, to develop more guidance on integrating land and water use planning in CO and to assess which communities are doing this already. CWCB and DOLA convened a third meeting for the Water and Land Use Planning Alliance on June 28 to check in and monitor progress on various projects as well as solidify a charter for the group. Anne Castle, Getches Wilkinson Center, is creating a guidance addendum to the CWCB Water Efficiency Guidance Document that will assist water providers in integrating water efficiency into land use planning. Kevin is on the advisory group and the project is funded through a CWCB grant. Sonoran Institute, through a CWCB water plan grant, has extended their Colorado Growing Smart initiative to carry out 3 more additional workshops over the nest 18-24 months. Kevin is on the advisory group for these trainings. The latest training took place September 24-26 with 5 communities participating. (Kevin Reidy) ~CONFERENCE AND WORKSHOPS UPDATES~ CWOA CONFERENCE—Several CWCB staff members attended the Colorado Water Officials Association (CWOA) annual conference on October 4-5, in Pueblo. Each year, CWOA holds a conference in different locations around the state to raise money for local scholarships and other causes, while simultaneously promoting its mission. The mission of CWOA is to educate Colorado’s citizens to the importance of water rights administration, water issues and to further the professional development of its members, comprised of DWR and CWCB employees. The conference theme this year was “H2O Above and Below” and featured presentations such as: “Demystifying Aquifer Properties and Modeling”, “Governance of Groundwater in Colorado”, and “The Looming Groundwater Crisis”. (Rob Viehl) GROUND WATER COMISSION MEETING— The Ground Water Commission (GWC) has not held a regular meeting since the last CWCB meeting. The Ground Water Commission will hold its next regular meeting on November 2, 2018 in Castle Rock, CO. For more information, visit: http://water.state.co.us/groundwater/CGWC/Pages/default.aspx. (Erik Skeie) ~WATERSHED AND FLOOD UPDATES~ MAPPING UPDATE— FY18 Activities: The CWCB was recently awarded the FY18 FEMA grant funding for Risk Map projects. In total, the CWCB will receive $5.5 million for the Risk Map program for all projects starting this year. The following is a list of the FY18 Risk Map projects: The CWCB received a $231,823 from FEMA for Project management tasks. This also includes $80,000 allocated to the Division of Water Resources Dam Safety office for a pilot project. 8 $350,000 was awarded to fund Delta County Risk Map Phase 2, which will include data development tasks such as hydrology, hydraulics, and floodplain mapping throughout Delta County. The CWCB previously funded a scoping project, which includes a high level countywide analysis of flood risk throughout most of the stream reaches within Delta County. The scoping meeting is set to take place in mid-November with local community officials. Delta County Risk Map Phase 2 includes 41.5 river miles of enhanced flood study, post-fire flooding analysis, and an evaluation of sediment-bulked flooding. The Upper White Watershed Risk Map project will receive an additional $70,000 from FEMA to conduct analysis on two levees that were discovered within Rio Blanco County during the routine hydraulic analysis. The Cache La Poudre Risk Map project is also receiving additional funds to address local community comments. A total of $195,000 of FEMA funding is awarded to resolve the comments and complete the Risk Map project for Cache La Poudre. Analyzing levees continue to be a challenge for the Risk Map program. Fortunately, FEMA provides funding and resources to help Cooperating Technical Partners (CTPs), such as the CWCB to assess levee precertification options. The CWCB will receive $275,000 from FEMA to evaluate the Templeton Gap levee in Colorado Springs. A portion of this funding will also be used to conduct a high level base level engineering analysis for Teller County. The CWCB previously funded a Discovery project in the Animas River Watershed. From that effort, the local communities were able to identify several mapping needs. FEMA has awarded CWCB $654,717 to fund Phase 2 in 2017. This year, FEMA has awarded $295,000 to complete this project through effective mapping. This year, FEMA has awarded the CWCB $620,000 to complete CHAMP Phase 3 projects through data development tasks. The remaining counties from CHAMP Phase 3 that are not updated will remain on the priority list until updated, high quality topographic data becomes available. The CWCB funded regional hydrology updates for the Arkansas River from the headwaters near Leadville, Colorado to the Kansas State line as well as the Colorado River from Granby to the western border of Mesa County. The CWCB leveraged this work to obtain funds from FEMA this year to study the Arkansas River hydraulics and floodplain mapping. $340,000 was awarded for this effort. Garfield County Phase 3 will receive $346,752 from FEMA and this effort will include completing this Risk Map project through effective maps. As the project list continues to expand, the engagement and outreach needs also increase. FEMA is awarding $315,000 to the CWCB for outreach and community engagement activities for ongoing and new projects. FY17 Activities: The CWCB received a $212,558 grant from FEMA to provide an updated hydrologic and hydraulic engineering and floodplain mapping for the Roaring Fork River and floodplain mapping services for the Colorado River within Garfield County (Phase 2). A kick off meeting was held on April 5, 2018 and survey data has been collected. The hydrology analysis has been approved by FEMA and Wood is currently working on the hydraulic analysis. FEMA has awarded the CWCB funds for Phase 3 of this project in FY 2018. The CWCB was able to leverage $929,729 from FEMA to continue CHAMP through the FEMA regulatory process. This study involves analyzing streams across seven counties in northeast Colorado and will include 233 FIRM panel updates. The counties include Boulder, Logan, Larimer, Morgan, Weld, Washington, and 9 Sedgwick Counties. The State Task order is finalized and work has begun on the Physical Map Revisions for these counties. A Flood Risk Review meeting is scheduled with Larimer County in mid-November. The CWCB previously funded a Discovery project in the Animas River Watershed. From that effort, the local communities were able to identify several mapping needs. FEMA has awarded CWCB $654,717 to fund the proposed projects that identified from the Discovery effort. This is Phase 2 and includes updated hydrologic and hydraulic engineering, (including post-fire conditions for Junction Creek), updated floodplain mapping, and sediment-bulked flooding along the Animas River, and an evaluation of ice jamming conditions in Silverton. Field survey work has been completed and additional coordination with local communities has taken place to determine if additional work to include impacts from the wild fires is needed. FEMA has awarded the CWCB funds for Phase 3 of this project, which will cover tasks through effective mapping. The CWCB is funding a regional hydrology update for the Arkansas River from the headwaters near Leadville, Colorado to the Kansas State line. The CWCB is working with Wood (formerly Amec Foster Wheeler) on this analysis. The final report has been approved by FEMA. The final report is available on the CWCB website. FY16 Activities: Upper White Watershed Risk Map Phase II preliminary map issuance will be delayed. A revised scope of work was submitted and approved by FEMA to conduct additional analysis, including a levee study, in Rio Blanco County and the Town of Rangely. St. Vrain Risk Map Phase III is also well under way. FEMA has approved the hydraulic and floodplain mapping tasks. CWCB received $3.4 million FEMA grant for LiDAR acquisition in Colorado for future floodplain mapping projects. This money was used to leverage an additional $1 million from the USGS to supplement a late spring 2018 LiDAR acquisition in Eastern Colorado. This data has been collected and is now in the post-processing phase. A regional hydrology study update on the Colorado River near Granby to the border with Utah has been completed and the results have been approved by FEMA. The CWCB has met with nearly every local community affected by this update. Final results are available for viewing on the Colorado Hazard Mapping website and on the CWCB website. FY15 Activities: The Cache La Poudre Phase III project funds will be re-scoped to address comments from Fort Collins, City of Greeley, and the City of Windsor. Comments are now being addressed and an updated schedule for this project will be provided this Fall 2018. FEMA provided additional funds for this effort in FY 2018. Upper Gunnison Risk Map Project Phase 2 hydraulic tasks were recently submitted to FEMA for review. Draft results show increased flood risk throughout the Town of Crested Butte. The model was done in HEC-RAS 2D and the mapping contractor is working on refining the results. A Flood Risk Review meeting will take place with local community officials before the end of the year. FY14 Activities: The erosion zone study for the Salt Creek Wash near the Town of Collbran in Mesa County was approved by FEMA. This report is now available on the Risk Map website. FEMA has provided funding to conduct a countywide approximate floodplain mapping for El Paso County, referred to as a Base Level Engineering (BLE) study. A part of this grant funding will be rescoped to fund the 10 revised preliminary project for the El Paso County DFIRM project, which will become effective at the end of 2018. Other non-mapping projects funded by FEMA this year included an inventory of the ongoing studies and other data in the post flood areas, developing a technical evaluation of flood forecasting methods using Risk Map products, and developing a model management system to store all available hydrologic and hydraulic models in the post-flood areas. All of these projects are complete and have been approved by FEMA. FY13 Activities: The El Paso County as a partial Countywide DFIRM project is now in the final compliance period and the effective date of the maps will be December 7, 2018. Purgatoire Watershed Risk Map project is now in the post appeal period. An additional scope of work was submitted and approved to resolve tie in issues. This project includes Las Animas County, City of Trinidad, as well as a few other incorporated towns in Las Animas County. The Task Order was approved and a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) will be completed to move this project forward to completion. The Pueblo County DFIRM is now in the post-preliminary phase, however, issues were found tying into the effective floodplains. The CWCB is funding a separate LOMR effort to resolve this issue. Field survey work has been completed and work on the LOMR is continuing. The State Task order has been approved and Wood is working on completing this LOMR. FY12 Activities: The grant for Purgatoire Watershed was funded through floodplain mapping and all tasks have been completed under the 2012 grant. A new grant was approved in 2013 to complete the Purgatoire Risk Map project to effective and the progress report is found under FY 13 Activities. The Cache La Poudre Risk Map project was funded in FY 2012 and the hydraulic and floodplain mapping tasks are almost complete. A new FEMA grant was awarded in FY 2015 to complete the Cache La Poudre Risk Map project under Phase III. Additional tie in work is needed and the State Task order is being completed now. FY11 Activities: Hydrology tasks for St. Vrain and Clear Creek watersheds have been completed and approved. The scope of work for the St. Vrain watershed was revised to include areas that were impacted by the flood. All tasks under this grant have been completed through to floodplain mapping. The FEMA grant for this project has expired and a new grant was approved in 2016 to complete additional tasks to finalize the maps as FEMA effective products. Updates for the St. Vrain Risk Map project will be provided under FY 2016 activities. Some streams updated through the Colorado Hazard Mapping Project will be included in the St. Vrain map update. Clear Creek Risk Map preliminary maps were distributed on February 8, 2017. The community review meeting was held on March 30, 2017. Clear Creek is now in the post appeal period. (Thuy Patton) FLUVIAL HAZARD MAPPING UPDATE— The floods of September 2013 reminded Coloradans how quickly rivers and streams in their state can change and morph into extreme storm events. Approximately half of the private structure damages and losses experienced in the 2013 flood were located outside of the regulatory floodplain, or Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). These flood-related risks associated with erosion, deposition, degradation, lateral migration, and avulsion created disastrous outcomes in 2013, and those outcomes may occur again in future flood events in Colorado. The identification of fluvial hazard zones has become a high priority as Colorado recovers from the September 2013 11 floods and transitions toward long-term river corridor planning. Planning for erosion hazards is an essential component of effective river corridor management and the prevention of future flood damages. Broadly defined, the Fluvial Hazard Zone (FHZ) is the area a stream has occupied in recent history, could occupy, or could physically influence as it stores and transports sediment and debris. In early 2015, Colorado’s Legislature passed a funding bill for the Colorado Hazard Mapping Program, which aims to provide a mitigation and land use framework in areas likely to be affected by future flooding, erosion, and debris flow events. The fluvial hazard mapping component of the project began in January 2017. The engineering firm Wood has been contracted to do the work. The program will refine mapping methodology and perform a series of pilot studies on fluvial hazards throughout the State. Communities interested in participating in the pilot studies submitted applications to the CWCB and selections were made in May of 2017. Community selections were based on physio-geographic location, geomorphic setting, existing data availability, and other technical elements, as well as community support, budget, and time constraints. Communities selected include Boulder, Eagle, Saguache, and San Miguel Counties, and the Town of Castle Rock, City of Delta, Town of Estes Park and Town of Nederland. Fluvial/erosion hazard mapping in these communities is current underway, and map products and a model land use code will be available for voluntary adoption by communities by the end of June 2019. (Stephanie DiBetitto) FLOODPLAIN RULES AND REGULATIONS UPDATE— The State of Colorado, through CWCB action in November 2010, adopted increased standards for floodplain management, which are contained in the Rules and Regulations for Regulatory Floodplains in Colorado (Rules), effective January 14, 2011. Communities were provided with a three-year transition period to adopt local regulations consistent with the Rules. Through sound floodplain management practices, these standards support enhanced public health, safety and welfare and will help communities reduce future flood risk to people and property. Staff has been working very collaboratively with communities to assist them with technical questions, model ordinance templates, and transition support. CWCB staff has contacted each community that has not yet provided documentation of adoption of the Rules via phone or email to offer assistance. Staff has also met with several communities to answer questions and review the process for updating floodplain regulations. Most communities have made adopting the Rules into local floodplain regulations a priority. However, the Town of Holyoke is the last of 252 total communities to adopt or provide documentation to the CWCB. A three-year transition period was provided and all Colorado communities had until January 14, 2014 to adopt floodplain regulations consistent with the Rules. Therefore, the remaining community is considered to be non-compliant. Non-compliance is taken into consideration by CWCB staff when awarding grant funding, and can prevent a community from receiving CWCB funds. In accordance with the procedure outlined in Rule 16, staff is continuing to provide outreach and technical assistance to the community. The Town of Holyoke has provided the CWCB with an update of their progress to date and are working towards final adoption at the local level. The CWCB anticipates receiving a final ordinance from the community no later than January 2019. (Stephanie DiBetitto) FLOODPLAIN HAZARD MAPPING UPDATE— The Colorado Hazard Mapping Program (CHAMP), funded under Senate Bill 15-245, is making significant progress with approximately one year remaining. Phases 1 and 2 have acquired all necessary funding. Phase 1 of CHAMP involves conducting new flood hazard analyses and floodplain delineations for streams particularly affected by the September 2013 flood event. Streams in Boulder, Larimer, and Weld County and small portions of Jefferson and Gilpin County. CHAMP Phase 2 focuses streams excluded from Year 1 in the Big Thompson and St. Vrain Hydrologic Unit Code 8 (HUC8) Watersheds and updating of the South Platte River from the Weld-Adams County line to the Colorado-Nebraska State line. Since many aspects of the project take multiple months to complete, many projects are in same phases of work as described in the last report. 12 Floodplain Mapping for all Year 1 streams have been approved by FEMA. Stream modeling of Big Thomas Year 2 streams is complete, and working with local agencies, the data is being reviewed. We are coordinating with Larimer County, Estes Park, and EWP team. The St. Vrain Watershed Year 1 floodplain mapping task has been submitted to FEMA. The floodways are also being analyzed for St. Vrain Creek in Longmont and East of Longmont, and Boulder Creek in Weld County. Most Year 2 streams’ hydraulic modeling is complete- except for Left Hand Creek. We are coordinating with Boulder County for data reviews and will hold flood risk reviews with other communities soon. Stream modeling is completed and being reviewed by local agencies for South Plate Year 2 streams, and floodplain mapping will begin shortly. All of the CHAMP reaches under Phase 1 and 2 will move forward with FEMA regulatory map updates. The first Flood risk review meeting will take place for Jefferson County at the end of October 2018. Phase 3 of CHAMP focuses on counties and communities that are still utilizing paper FEMA floodplain maps. This scope includes digitizing existing Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) panels in select communities and jurisdictions, and wherever topographic data is available, updated flood risk information will be provided as best available information for local communities to utilize. We have completed the hydrologic analysis the 12 studied counties with the last of the initial hydrologic submittals completed in 2017. Stream modeling began in January 2018, and the Southwest Hydraulic Kick-off is on-going this spring. Floodplain mapping started this past summer 2018 and FEMA has approved funding for the regulatory updates for CHAMP Phase 3. Flood risk review meetings will begin this winter 2018. Check out the revamped CHAMP website, which was expanded to host all Colorado Risk MAP projects. It has a new look and capabilities including all ongoing project information and documentation. Please visit www.coloradohazardmapping.com for all the latest updates. (Thuy Patton) NEW SNOW DATA INSTALLATION IN THE GUNNISON— As part of the CWCB’s water forecasting partnerships authorization/program the Mirror Lake, Italian Creek, and Trail Creek SNOTEL-Lites were installed in late October at elevations ranging from 10,400 to 11,600 in the Upper Taylor River Basin. This will help better characterize snowpack and provide more snow data for water supply forecasting. The project is a collaboration of the Upper Gunnison River WCD, National Center for Atmospheric Research, NRCS Snow Survey Program, and the CWCB. This project will hopefully improve streamflow forecast accuracy to allow for better reservoir management, reservoir releases and storage to benefit recreation, irrigation and fisheries. Previously the Gunnison only had the Park Cone and the Upper Taylor NRCS SNOTEL sites. The fourth SNOTEL lite will be installed adjacent to the Cottonwood Pass road next summer. Once all are installed it will triple the amount of snow data that can be used for water supply modeling in the Taylor River Basin.

(Joe Busto 13 SNOW SCHOOL FOR WATER MANAGERS— This is a 2.5 day professional development opportunity (February 2022, 2019) for water professionals in Colorado. Jeff Derry, the Director of the Center for Snow and Avalanche Studies, will review Colorado’s snow climatology, snowpack information, snowmelt processes, discuss recent field campaigns and literature, and visit the snow and weather monitoring systems operated by CSAS. Also covered is learning about Colorado’s Dust on Snow Program (CoDos) that is sponsored by several water districts around the state. Heavy dust years have shown to impact the timing and volumes of peak streamflow forecasts. The class is $500 but does not include hotel accommodations in Silverton. For more information on this program email jderry@snowstudies.org. ~AGENCY UPDATES~ KEVIN REIDY RECEIVES AWARD— Kevin Reidy received a Conservation Hero Award from Resource Central (formerly Center for Resource Conservation) for his work in conservation. Kevin & staff have helped Resource Central with past projects including residential/commercial audits, Slow the Flow program and most recently a turf removal pilot project. Kevin will be given the award on November 16 at the Jewish Community Center in Boulder. THUY PATTON COAUTHORS PUBLICATION WITH USGS— Thuy Patton from the Flood Section recently published a report with the USGS titled Flood-inundation maps for the South Platte River at Fort Morgan, Colorado, 2018. This report provides digital flood inundation maps for various flows in the Fort Morgan area. The maps depict the areal extents and depths of flooding corresponding to selected flood stages for the area. These maps can be used with real time data provided by the USGS stream gauge in Fort Morgan as an effective emergency management tool during times of flooding. Prior to this study, emergency managers relied on several online information sources to make decisions on how to best alert the public and mitigate flood damages. The report is also referred to as “Scientific Investigations Report 2018-5514” and can be found at (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20185114. BEAR CREEK LAKE— CWCB Staff has been working with contracted engineering firm Brown and Caldwell to reach out to interested stakeholders to better understand their water needs for the Bear Creek Lake Reallocation and water rights application. As of this report, Evergreen Metropolitan District, Consolidated Mutual, Berthoud, Dacono, Hidden Valley Water District and the City of Brighton will be asking their Boards for approval to move forward with the CWCB on the water rights application. These entities represent a combined interest of 11,450 AF in the storage right. Once each partnership is formalized, Brown and Caldwell will model various demand and operational scenarios using a modified version of the Chatfield spreadsheet model. Staff also met with Colorado Parks and Wildlife to better understand how an environmental pool could be incorporated into the application. Staff has meetings scheduled with Foothills Parks and Recreation regarding their needs and potential partnership, as well as the City of Lakewood to provide an update. All of these meetings will occur prior to the November CWCB Board Meeting. (Erik Skeie) CWCB/NRCS PARTNERSHIP RESULTS IN MULTIPLE AWARDS— CWCB and its staff recently wrapped up a very large flood recovery program in partnership with the NRCS related to the 2013 Flood in Northern Colorado and El Paso County. This project, a $60 million program to administer flood recovery and watershed restoration projects in the flood affected area and known as the Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) program, was part of an even larger 14 overall recovery program which also included the Department of Local Affairs, the Department of Public Safety, and the US Department of Housing and Urban Development. The CWCB served as the non-federal sponsor and overall program manager for the program on behalf of the State. At the 2018 Colorado Association of Stormwater and Floodplain Managers (CASFM) Annual Conference, the EWP program was awarded the Engineering Excellence Award for the year. This award is presented to one project in the state that the association feels embodies all facets of engineering excellence. In addition, Jeff Sickles, a consultant to the CWCB, was awarded the Project Manager of the Year Award by the National Society of Professional Engineers Colorado Chapter (NSPE-CO). Although not a CWCB employee, the success of the program was a large part of the reason for his winning the award. Jeff managed the consultant team in charge of design and construction management, participated in criteria and process development, and contributed to certain elements of program management as well.

A decree statement is included that this decree does not modify or otherwise alter the terms of the ski area and Colorado Department of Natural Resources’ Memorandum of Agreement dated March 11, 1986, and amended on October 25, 1988. November 14-15, 2018 Board Meeting Instream Flow and Natural Lake Level Program McKinley Ditch - Summary of Decreed Acquisition Change Case CWCB’s Case No. 14CW3108, Water Division 4, filed with Colorado Water Trust as a coapplicant on December 31, 2014, was decreed on October 1, 2018. Under a partnership agreement, the Water Trust maintained ownership but conveyed to CWCB a “Grant of Flow Restoration Use” in its shares to allow for instream flow use. The CWCB and the Water Trust filed Case No. 14CW3108 as co-applicants to change shares of the water rights decreed to the McKinley Ditch, a ditch with four priorities that diverts water from the Little Cimarron River, a tributary of the Cimarron River, a tributary of the Gunnison River. The goal of the change is to allow the shares to be used in a split-season arrangement for both instream flow use and irrigation uses, which is a new approach for an instream flow right. Three parties filed statements of opposition (two by owners of shares in the McKinley Ditch, and one by a neighboring ditch company). After long and detailed negotiations, CWCB and CWT finalized a stipulation with the last opposer, the Collier Ditch Company, this summer, which the Court approved on August 30, 2018. The final decree was submitted shortly thereafter and was approved by the Court on October 1, 2018. RECENTLY DECREED ISF WATER RIGHTS: On September 19, 2018, the Division 7 Water Court decreed instream flow water rights to the CWCB on a reach of Vallecito Creek in Case No. 17CW3045 for 20 cfs (01/01 - 03/15), 33 cfs (03/16 - 04/15), 92 cfs (04/16 - 08/31), 70 cfs (09/01 - 10/31), 45 cfs (11/01 - 11/15), 31 cfs (11/16 - 12/14), and 25 cfs (12/14 - 12/31), with an appropriation date of January 24, 2017. The upstream terminus is the Weminuche Wilderness boundary, and the lower terminus is the U.S. Forestry Service (USFS) boundary. This ISF reach is approximately 0.51 miles long and flows in a southwesterly direction through parts of La Plata County. The USFS recommended this reach of Vallecito Creek to help protect its self-sustaining populations of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), brown trout (Salmo truta), brook trout (Salve linus fontinalis), and hybridized cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki spp.). On October 7, 2018, the Division 6 Water Court decreed instream flow water rights to the CWCB on a reach of Fourmile Creek in Case No. 17CW3040 for 0.41 cfs (08/01 – 03/31), 1.3 cfs (04/01 - 04/30), 3.8 cfs (05/01 - 06/30), and 0.97 cfs (07/01 – 07/31), with an appropriation date of January 24, 2017. The upstream terminus is headwaters of Fourmile Creek, and the lower terminus is the Norma Ryan Ditch headgate. This ISF reach is approximately 3.13 miles long and flows in a northwesterly direction through parts of Moffat County. The Bureau of Land Management recommended this reach of Fourmile Creek to protect its genetically pure self-sustaining population of Colorado River cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii pleuriticus). On October 8, 2018, the Division 6 Water Court decreed instream flow water rights to the CWCB on a reach of Piceance Creek in Case No. 16CW3038 for 4.0 cfs (01/01 12/31), with an appropriation date of January 26, 2016. The upstream terminus is the confluence with Dry Fork Piceance Creek, and the lower terminus is the confluence with the White River. This ISF reach is approximately 9.96 miles long and flows in a northerly direction through parts of Rio Blanco County. The Bureau of Land Management recommended this reach of Piceance Creek to protect its self-sustaining populations of flannelmouth suckers (Catostomus latipinnis), speckled dace (Rhinichthys osculus), and mountain sucker (Catostomas platyrhynchus). On October 8, 2018, the Division 6 Water Court decreed instream flow water rights to the CWCB on two reaches of Willow Creek in Case No. 16CW3044, both having an appropriation date of January 26, 2016. The upper ISF reach was decreed for 7.0 cfs (04/16 – 06/30), from the outlet of Steamboat Lake downstream to the confluence with Beaver Creek, being a distance of approximately 4.94 miles. The lower ISF reach was decreed for 13.0 cfs (04/16 - 06/30) and 3.0 cfs (07/01 – 07/31), from the confluence with Beaver Creek downstream to the confluence with Lester Creek, being a distance of approximately 1.47 miles. These ISF reaches flow in a southeasterly direction through parts of Routt County. The Bureau of Land Management recommended these reaches of Willow Creek to protect its self-sustaining populations of mountain suckers (Catostomas platyrhynchus), mottled sculpin (Cottus bairdii), and speckled dace (Rhinichthys osculus). The CWCB has existing instream flow water rights on Willow Creek: one from the outlet of Steamboat Lake to the confluence with Beaver Creek, for 5.0 cfs (01/01 – 12/31), decreed in Case No. W-1270-77 with an appropriation date of 9/23/1977, and a second reach from the confluence with Beaver Creek to the confluence with the Elk River, for 7 cfs (01/01-12/31), decreed in Case No. W-1273-77 with an appropriation date of 9/23/1977.

Floodwaters destroyed the diversion dam, caused heavy sedimentation in the ditch, and damaged 750 LF of ditch. Temporary repairs were completed in order to allow the Company to divert a portion of its water rights during the 2014 irrigation season. This loan provided construction funds for the permanent repairs to the diversion dam. The historic at-grade concrete dam washed out by the flood was replaced with a grouted rock ramp structure that in addition to ensure the Company could divert its full water right, provided added benefits to fish and recreational users. The structure was designed to facilitate fish passage at a variety of flows, including a fish passage notch for low flow fish passage. The design also created hydraulic conditions across the grouted rock ramp and in the tail water pool allowing for recreational use.

The Company owns Lake McIntosh Reservoir which is used as part of an exchange between the Highland Ditch Company and the Oligarchy Ditch Company. The reservoir was constructed in 1890 and enlarged in 1902. In May 2015, a section of the reservoir’s outlet pipe collapsed, creating a sinkhole which deposited soil in the outlet works pipes downstream for approximately 300 feet, rendering the reservoir’s outlet works unusable. This Project restored the reservoir’s outlet functionality by repairing the damaged outlet works. Phase 1 construction consisted of installing a new pipe from the sinkhole downstream to its outlet. Phase 2 construction consisted of installing a new pipe from the sinkhole upstream, under the roadway and under Platte River Power Authority switch yard to the outlet structure. Phase 1 was completed by April 2017 and Phase 2 was substantially completed in March 2018.

The Company’s service area encompasses approximately 28,000 irrigated acres in Larimer County north of Fort Collins near Wellington, and includes service to 14 communities and municipal water providers. The Mountain Supply Reservoir No. 10 is owned and operated by the Company and was constructed in 1905. Major rehabilitation of the reservoir’s dam was completed in 1973. In August 2015, the reservoir experienced a failure in its corrugated metal pipe (CMP) outlet, prompting the Company to drain the reservoir and the State Engineer’s Office to impose a full storage restriction. Temporary emergency repairs were made in 2016 which permitted the Company to store 80 AF. This project made permanent repairs which resulted in the State Engineer’s Office removing all storage restrictions. Repairs to the reservoirs outlet structure included construction of a new gate tower and walkway and lining the length of the outlet pipe using a cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) liner. Additionally, the Company made repairs to the reservoir’s inlet structure off the No. 10 ditch, and installed a new spillway cutoff wall. Construction occurred from November 2017 to April 2018.

Substantially Complete September 1, 2018 Figure 1 – Reservoir before construction Figure 2 – Downstream view of dam before construction Figure 4 – Embankment reconstruction Figure 3 – Construction – Dam core Figure 5 – Finished dam Project Description Corsentino Dairy Farms, Inc. is located on 1,019 acres located approximately three miles east of the City of Walsenburg, along the north and south sides of State Highway 10. The Dairy has been in the Corsentino family since 1936 and is currently operated as an organic dairy. The primary water for the dairy operation comes from a well. The well is operated in accordance with the Corsentino Dairy plan for augmentation. The replacement water comes from the Holita Reservoir. Holita reservoir has a storage capacity of 498 acre-feet and was built in 1889. In September of 2014 the Dairy received a letter from the Office of the State Engineer (SEO) that identified the Holita dam as unsatisfactory and restricted the storage level to five feet below the low point of the west dam crest. Through this loan, the Dairy addressed seepage issues by reconstructing the embankment and permanently lowered the spillway to allow a storage volume of 274 acre-feet.

The Association is the managing entity of the Bureau of Reclamation’s Grand Valley Project. The Grand Valley Project facilities includes the Grand Valley Diversion Dam (also known as the Roller Dam) on the Colorado River in De Beque Canyon and the 55mile-long Government Highline Canal. The embankment immediately below the Roller Dam is relatively narrow and separates the Government Highline Canal from the Colorado River. This section of canal was constructed around 1915. Over the last 100 years the embankment settled and degraded. Erosion within the embankment led to material loss and sinkholes. As a result of canal degradation, water flow was restricted and the canal cross section was reduced, causing a reduction in capacity of the canal channel. Through this loan the Association lined the upper section of the canal to increase the conveyance capacity.

The Company’s primary storage reservoir is Sanchez Reservoir. The approximately 104,000 acre-foot reservoir was built in 1910. The reservoir’s original outlet included a 135-foot tall concrete gate tower. In order to operate the dam, a tramway/gondola ran along a cable and was powered by a portable gasoline generator. Because daily operation of the gate is required during irrigation season, the reliability and safety of the gondola system was a concern of the Company. Using loan and grant funds, the Company demolished the gate tower; the installed new control gates and operators; lined the outlet conduit with shotcrete; repaired the downstream outlet structure; and, installed a new perimeter drain and weir along the right side of the outlet structure to control seepage. Additional seepage monitoring was also funded through the project.

The City’s water system consists of five wells in a confined aquifer and three wells in an unconfined aquifer. Recent rules from the Office of the State Engineer require water users in the San Luis Valley to replace depletions from pumping of wells in both the confined and unconfined aquifers tributary to the Rio Grande River. As a result, the City needed an additional 321 acre-feet of replacement water. In order to meet this need, the City borrowed funds from the CWCB to purchase Anderson Ditch water rights and storage in the Rio Grande Reservoir to store the excess credits from the water it purchased.

Figure 6 – Lupton Bottom Ditch headgate. Project Description The Lupton Bottom Ditch Company diverts water from the South Platte River near Wattenberg in Weld County. The original check dam was built in 1949 and the gates were replaced in 2001. Damage to the structure began when high river flows overtopped the rock dam and scoured a large hole on the downstream side and subsequently extended that scour into the structure. The structure was initially damaged during September 2013 flooding and further damaged in subsequent high river flows. This repair work was completed in a two-stage process due to the requirement for construction to occur during low flow conditions within the river. During the first stage, upstream stabilization and installation of sheet piling and the construction of a concrete apron occurred. The downstream side of the structure was stabilized with grouted boulders. The second stage included rebuilding the rock dam on the southern side of the diversion structure. With this project, the Company repaired and improved the diversion and intake structures, provided water deliveries to the shareholders, and improved operation safety. Design commenced in 2017, project construction occurred in early 2018 through summer 2018 and construction is complete.

A 2007 Rio Grande Watershed Restoration Strategic Plan highlighted the importance of continued efforts to implement the 2001 study recommendations. The Company partnered with the Colorado Rio Grande Restoration Foundation, the fiscal agent for the Rio Grande Headwater Restoration Project, to organize and raise funds for the Project. The Foundation similarly worked with four other ditch companies and consolidated those needs into one WSRF grant request (“Five Ditches: Rio Grande Diversion and Headgate Improvement”). That grant request will also be heard at the September 2017 Board Meeting. The existing diversion dam will be replaced with a grouted rock diversion dam spanning the width of the river. The dam will include a low flow channel to allow for sediment transport. Project stakeholders worked with Colorado Parks and Wildlife, and at CPW’s request, final design will incorporate a partial fish barrier to protect native fish upstream from downstream non-native predators such as the pike.

The diversion dam and headgate structures are at the end of its service life and are no longer effective at low or high river flows. These structures were highlighted as river rehabilitation priorities in 2001 study titled “Rio Grande Headwater Restoration Project.” That study analyzed the condition of riparian habitats and structures along a 91-mile reach of the Rio Grande from the town of South Fork to Alamosa. The Company has partnered with the Colorado Rio Grande Restoration Foundation, the fiscal agent for the Rio Grande Headwater Restoration Project, to organize and raise funds for the Project. The Natural Resources Conservation Service is providing design and construction oversight for the project, as well as a $750,000 grant from its Environmental Quality Incentive Program (EQIP). The Foundation will be including this Project as part of a WSRF grant request that, if approved by the Rio Grande Roundtable, will be heard at the CWCB September 2017 Board Meeting. The EQIP grant funds are subject to forfeiture if the Project does not begin construction in Fall 2017. Therefore, to ensure construction can begin as soon as river conditions allow, the Company is seeking this CWCB loan to cover its full cost share. Any WSRF grant funds obtained for this Project will reduce the final loan amount.

The GVPP is owned by the Water Source: Colorado River Bureau of Reclamation and originally operated by Public Service Company of Colorado (Xcel Engergy) in conjunction with the Drainage Basin: Colorado Cameo coal fired power plant. The Association and District took Division: 5 District: 72 operational control of the plant when Xcel decided to cease its operations. The Association and District equally split costs and revenues from the GVPP under a Lease of Power Privilage with Reclamation and a Power Purchase Agreement with Xcel. In addition to being a revenue source, the GVPP serves an importnant role in providing water to the “15-Mile Reach” which has been designated by the Upper Colorado River Endangered Fish Recovery Program as critical habitat. The non-consumptive hydropower water right ensures continued flows for this important stretch of river. The goal of the Project is to bring the GVPP up to a sustainable operating condition and meet current electric and safety standards. The GVPP was built in the early 1930s and has seen no major upgrades or modernization to date. Under current operations, the “water-to-wire” efficiency is approximately 54% with a maximum generation output of 2.5 MW. Calculations show as much as 4.1MW production should be feasible based on flow rate and available head. Grand Valley Power Plant Orchard Mesa Irr. Dist.

Within Huerfano County there are many water users that are at risk of being curtailed due either to being out of priority or due to failing (or failed) augmentation plans. The users include schools and domestic, commercial, and agricultural users. The District has utilized a Substitute Water Supply Plan and Regional Rule 14 Replacement Plan from 2009 to 2013 to provide augmentation water to five entities that were in danger of having water use curtailed due to out of priority usage. The District believes that other water users will find it necessary to join the regional augmentation plan and the Division Engineer has indicated an urgent need for such a plan. Project components include: the purchase of land and water rights, the construction of a recharge reservoir, and the construction of a reservoir for augmentation use. The Project is expected to occur between 2014 and 2016.

The replacement of the trash rack and forebay structure, and repairs to the diversion structure, are planned to take place within the next few years and are not a part of this Project. The City of Fort Collins has developed a flood control plan for the Dry Creek Basin, which in part uses the Larimer & Weld Ditch as a conveyance for flood flows in Dry Creek. Therefore, should a flood occur in the Dry Creek Basin, it is of great importance for life, safety, and prevention of property damage, that the ditch’s upstream headgate off the Poudre River be able to close so there is capacity available in the ditch to handle flood flows. Construction activities will include the replacement of the concrete structure, new gates and operators, and a new control building.

In summer of 2017, the District installed a single emergency interconnect with Ravenna and has been the sole source of potable water for Ravenna since. The inclusion agreement requires that in addition to the emergency interconnect, two additional interconnects between the District and Ravenna be constructed in order to provide a permanent and reliable water supply to Ravenna. Construction will include two new interconnections, a new pipeline, and the relocation of a pressure reducing valve. Final design, right-of-way acquisition, and county approvals is scheduled to be completed by fall 2018. Construction is expected to begin late 2018 and continue into the early part of 2019.

Lake 4 was created by reclaiming mined slopes, Division: 1 District: 5 installing a slurry wall liner around the former gravel pit, and installing inlet and outlet structures. The outlet works included a half-mile-long 18-inch reinforced concrete pipe approximately extending from the dam to the St. Vrain Creek. The District and County County recently inspected the outletworks pipeline and determined that it is leaking in several locations. It is critical for reservoir accounting and water rights administration purposes that the water delivered through the pipeline be water from Lake 4 and not groundwater leaking into the pipe between the dam and the river. Therefore the District and Boulder County desire to repair the pipe to resolve the leakage and to extend the service life of the structure.

During the flood, St. Vrain Creek breached in over four locations above the Lake. The unlined gravel pits above the Lake were flooded, causing their earthen embankments to fail, sending flood water into the Lake. The Lake filled and eventually overtopped, breaching its eastern embankment. The purpose of the Project is to repair the Lake to resume its use as a water augmentation reservoir by the District. Boulder County is a co-owner of the Lake. As the County and the District are public agencies, it is expected that FEMA will reimburse 75% of the Project Cost and the State’s Public Assistance Program will cover 12.5% under their respective emergency programs. The remaining cost of repairs will be evenly split with Boulder County.

This pumped water has quality problems and requires significant treatment before it meets Clean Drinking Water standards. The conduit will begin at Pueblo Reservoir Dam, where a 30.94 cfs municipal outlet is already in place and reserved for the specific use of the conduit. The conduit will gravity flow approximately 138 miles down the Arkansas River Valley to Lamar. The conduit water will flow by the St. Charles Mesa Water District where it will enter a water filtration plant. As the conduit moves down the valley, spurs will take off the main line to deliver water to local and regional water providers. The conduit will receive its water from the USBR Fryingpan-Arkansas Project. Currently, about 5,779 acre-feet of water per year is available for entities East of Pueblo in an average year. Additionally, Return Flows are retained by the District and can be exchanged back up to Pueblo Reservoir for delivery. These Return Flows can provide up to an additional 1,600 acre-feet of water. Storage is available to these entities in Pueblo Reservoir because they are in the SECWCD service area. This storage will help provide water in the years when less than average water is provided by the Fry-Ark Project. The water will be provided strictly for municipal and industrial purposes. Final chlorination or treatment will be left up to each water provider. The conduit is currently planned to be paid 80% (approximately $240 million) by the federal government.

The Fruitland Highline Canal diverts from Crystal Creek, 13 miles south of the Town of Crawford and provides irrigation water to approximately 5,900 acres in Delta and Montrose Counties. L O C County: Water Source: Drainage Basin: Division: 4 A T I O N Delta & Montrose Crystal Creek Gunnison District: 40 The Company is seeking a CWCB Loan and a WSRF Grant as part of an overall funding package for the Tunnel and Canal Renovation Project. The two tunnels in the Gould Canal are over 100 years old and have eroded to the point that its structural integrity is threatened. A collapse would eliminate the ability to deliver irrigation water after the junior direct flow rights are out of priority, typically in midJune. Additionally, the Fruitland Highline and Gould Canals are located within the Colorado River salinity control area. The seepage losses are estimated to be 12.5 cfs, or 1856 AF annually which equates to approximately 6,053 tons of salt to the Colorado River system. CWCB funding will be used to pipe the Gould Canal from Gould Reservoir through the two tunnels, a distance of approximately 2.1 miles and line the earthen canal for approximately 10.3 miles.

That project was completed in 1985. The annual delivery of Windy Gap water is not reliable because in dry years the junior water rights may not come into priority, and in wet years, there may not be room in Lake Granby to store Windy Gap water. L O C A T I O N County: Larimer, Boulder, Broomfield, Weld Water Source: Colorado River Drainage Basin: South Platte Division: 1 District: 2,3,4,5,6 In 1999, The Subdistrict formed the Windy Gap Firming Water Activity Enterprise with the purpose of pursuing activities that would lead to firming the yield of Windy Gap water. Participants identified 30,000 AF as a goal for total firm yield. After a review of over 170 alternatives, the Bureau of Reclamation and project participants identified the construction of a 90,000 AF Chimney Hollow Reservoir as the preferred alternative. This Project will consist of the construction of Chimney Hollow Reservoir and associated pipelines to deliver water from the existing C-BT infrastructure, as well as environmental mitigation and enhancements. Construction is anticipated to begin in fall of 2018 and be complete in 2022.

The District service area is comprised of Division: 1 District: 64 approximately 19,129 acres. The District’s diversions from the South Platte River through the Petersen Ditch are normally 164 cubic feet per second from the South Platte River providing water to 8,925 acres. The diversion of water is accomplished with a concrete diversion dam across the South Platte and a ditch regulating head gate structure. The 1956 river diversion dam is approximately 320 feet wide and the ditch head gate structure is approximately 30 feet wide. The District wants to rebuild the diversion dam and ditch head gate in order to continue water deliveries to the shareholders and provide and improve the structures’ operational safety.

The Ogilvy Ditch system encompasses Drainage Basin: South Platte 3,600 acres from a Cache la Poudre River diversion, Division: 1 District: 3 located on the east edge of Greeley to farms east of Kersey. Seeley Reservoir has a decreed capacity of 1,543 acre-feet. The proposed project will re-establish the physical capacity to this decreed volume. The water stored in the reservoir is used to provide supplemental irrigation supplies to the Ogilvy Ditch service area. Stored water is also used to provide augmentation water for the Ogilvy Augmentation Company, whose members own wells that provide irrigation water within the same service area. This project will recover 356 acre-feet of reservoir storage space that has been lost to sedimentation deposition over many years. New water storage sites have been considered, but would be limited to about 100 acre-feet of capacity. Sedimentation of Seeley Reservoir resulted largely because of the high inflows running through the steep inlet channel above the reservoir. The Colorado Department of Transportation completed major improvements to the Seeley Reservoir inlet channel at State Highway 392 in 2011 that substantially mitigated the conditions causing the erosion within the inlet ditch generating sediment at Seeley Reservoir. It is expected that the recurrence of sedimentation will be limited. Construction is scheduled for the fall of 2018. Funding will come from a Water Plan Grant for $1,415,740 and a CWCB loan.
