PROJECT INFORMATION:
The concept of the project is to use existing storage in Glendo and
Grayrocks Reservoirs to irrigate and develop approximately 15,000 acres
of new lands in Goshen County. 1985 estimates indicated a project cost
of $45M. As the initial economic analysis indicated that the sponsor
could not financially support a loan for 25% of the project costs and
operation and maintenance costs, the project has been put on hold in
order for the sponsors to re-evaluate their financial abilities, prepare
an environmental assessment and secure water supplies. This project is
one of the issues being considered in the North Platte law suit.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
The WWDC recommends that the project be retained at Level II-Hold
status.
