| ORCHARD MESA IRRIGATION DISTRICT (OMID) SEEKS FUNDS TO COMPLETE THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF 8.4 MILES OF PRESSURIZED PIPELINES AT THE WESTERN END OF THE DISTRICT NEAR GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO TO SUPPORT THE RECOVERY OF FOUR THREATENED AND ENDANGERED NATIVE FISH SPECIES IN THE 15-MILE REACH OF THE COLORADO RIVER: THE COLORADO PIKEMINNOW, RAZORBACK SUCKER, BONYTAIL, AND HUMPBACK CHUB. THE 15-MILE REACH IS A CRITICAL STRETCH OF THE COLORADO RIVER THAT IS PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE TO LOW STREAMFLOW DUE TO LARGE WITHDRAWALS IN AN AGRICULTURALLY DEVELOPED AND RAPIDLY URBANIZING AREA, AS WELL AS ONGOING DROUGHT. THE PROJECT WOULD CONVERT APPROXIMATELY 8.4 MILES OF OPEN CANALS INTO PRESSURIZED PIPE, INCLUDING 4.8 MILES OF CANAL 1, 2.9 MILES OF CANAL 2, AND 0.7 MILES OF OVERFLOW FROM CANAL 2 TO CANAL 1. MAJOR MILESTONES DURING THE PROJECT EXECUTION INCLUDE NEPA, CULTURAL RESOURCES, AND PERMITTING COMPLETION IN THE PLANNING PHASE 30%, 60%, AND FINAL DESIGN IN THE ENGINEERING PHASE AND CANAL 1 PIPING, CANAL 2 OVERFLOW DITCH PIPING IN THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE. THE PROJECT GOALS ARE TO ELIMINATE WATER LOSS FROM SEEPAGE,EVAPORATION, AND OPERATIONAL SPILL WHILE REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF WATER NEEDED TO OPERATE OMIDS HYDRAULIC PUMPS. THE CONVEYANCE UPGRADES WOULD REDUCE OMIDS DEMAND BY UP TO 6,900 ACRE-FEET PER YEAR DURING THE IRRIGATION SEASON. REDUCED OMID DEMAND WOULD INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD OF SURPLUS RELEASES FROM GREEN MOUNTAIN RESERVOIR TO THE 15-MILE REACH TO ENHANCE STREAMFLOW AND INCREASE DROUGHT RESILIENCE FOR NATIVE LISTED FISH SPECIES DURING THE WARMEST AND DRIEST TIME OF THE YEAR. DURING FREE RIVER CONDITIONS, THE PROJECT WOULD ENHANCE NATURAL FLOW. OMID EXPECTS TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT BY MAY 2029. | Colorado (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | ORCHARD MESA IRRIGATION DISTRICT | $10.5M | — |
| THE PURGATOIRE WATERSHED PARTNERSHIP (PWP), A NON-PROFIT CONSERVATION ORGANIZATION AND WATERSHED GROUP BASED IN TRINIDAD, COLORADO, IS WORKING CLOSELY WITH A HOST OF LOCAL AND REGIONAL PARTNERS ON THE PURGATOIRE RIVER FISH PASSAGE PROJECT TO INSTALL CRITICAL FISH PASSAGE INTO THE BACA-PICKETWIRE DIVERSION DAM, WHICH HAS PROHIBITED UPSTREAM MOVEMENT OF ALL FISHES ON THE PURGATOIRE RIVER FOR MORE THAN 100 YEARS. PROJECT PARTNERS INCLUDE A HOST OF ENGAGED COMMUNITY MEMBERS AS WELL AS LOCAL DITCH COMPANIES, PURGATOIRE RIVER WATER CONSERVANCY DISTRICT, COLORADO PARKS WILDLIFE (CPW), US FISH WILDLIFE SERVICE (USFWS), TROUT UNLIMITED, CITY OF TRINIDAD, PURGATOIRE RIVER RUN COMPANY, FISHERS PEAK OUTFITTERS, LOCAL KIP HAMPDEN DEVELOPERS AND THE YOUTH CLUB OF TRINIDAD. THE PURGATOIRE RIVER IS A 196-MILE-LONG TRIBUTARY OF THE ARKANSAS RIVER THAT SUSTAINS A ROBUST ASSEMBLAGE OF NATIVE PLAINS FISHES IN ITS LOWER REACHES AND IMPORTANT NATIVE AND SPORT FISHES IN THE MIDDLE PURGATOIRE RIVER. THIS PROJECT FOCUSES ON THE INSTALLATION OF A NATURAL RIFFLE RAMP FISHWAY INTO THE BACA-PICKETWIRE DIVERSION DAM LOCATED ON THE MIDDLE PURGATOIRE RIVER IN DOWNTOWN TRINIDAD. THIS FISHWAY WILL ALLOW ALL NATIVE AND SPORT FISHES TO PASS, AS WELL AS ALLOW BOATERS SAFER PASSAGE OVER THIS LOW HEAD DIVERSION DAM. THIS COLLABORATIVELY DEVELOPED FISHWAY IS AN ACCEPTABLE DESIGN TO THE LOCAL AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITY AS WELL AS THE REPRESENTATIVE FISH AND BOATING PARTNERS (CPW, USFWS, TROUT UNLIMITED, PURGATOIRE RIVER RUN COMPANY).THE PROJECT WILL ALLOW FISH UPSTREAM ACCESS TO 3.3 MILES OF THE PURGATOIRE RIVER MAINSTEM AND WETLANDS, AS WELL AS ACCESS TO MANY MORE STREAM MILES OF EPHEMERAL DRAINAGES. THESE UPSTREAM WATERS PROVIDE SIGNIFICANTLY HEALTHIER AND MORE DIVERSE AQUATIC HABITAT THAN THAT FOUND BELOW THE DIVERSION DAM IN THIS STRETCH OF RIVER. INSTALLATION OF FISH PASSAGE AND EXPANSION OF RIPARIAN CONNECTIVITY IN THIS AREA IS CRITICAL TO ENSURING THE LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY AND RESILIENCY OF FISH SPECIES OF PRIORITY TO LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL LAND MANAGERS AND LOCAL ANGLERS, ESPECIALLY IN THE FACE OF DROUGHT AND CLIMATE CHANGE UNCERTAINTIES. THE RESULTING IMPROVED HABITAT ACCESS AND A MORE ROBUST GENE POOL WITH THE INTERMIXING OF UPSTREAM AND DOWNSTREAM FISH POPULATIONS WILL DIRECTLY BENEFIT NATIVE PRIORITY FISH INCLUDING THE FLATHEAD CHUB (PLATYGOBIO GRACILUS) - A COLORADO SPECIES OF SPECIAL CONCERN - AND THE CENTRAL STONEROLLER (CAMPOSTOMA ANOMALUM). THE LOCAL TROUT UNLIMITED CHAPTER HAS ALSO CONDUCTED EXTENSIVE FISH HABITAT RESTORATION WORK ABOVE THE DIVERSION DAM ON THE MIDDLE PURGATOIRE, AND INSTALLATION OF FISH PASSAGE WILL DIRECTLY BENEFIT THE EXPANDING TROUT FISHERY BY ALLOWING THE PRIORITY SPORT FISH OF BROWN TROUT (SALMO TRUTTA) AND RAINBOW TROUT (ONCORHYNCHUS MYKISS) ACCESS TO THESE WATERS. THE CURRENT INABILITY OF FISH IN THE MIDDLE PURGATOIRE TO MIGRATE TO SPAWNING REACHES AND AREAS OF THERMAL REFUGE DURING LOW FLOW PERIODS IS A SIGNIFICANT LIMITING FACTOR FOR ALL SPECIES. PROJECT PARTNERS ARE EXCITED TO IMPLEMENT THIS COLLABORATIVE PROJECT THAT SERVES A DIVERSE SET OF WATER USERS AND ACCOMPLISHES IMPORTANT ECOLOGICAL, RECREATIONAL, AGRICULTURAL, AND MUNICIPAL GOALS. WITH THE ADDED BENEFITS OF IMPROVING RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR BOATERS, IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS PROJECT IN THE DOWNTOWN RIVER AREA IS EXPECTED TO PROVIDE MULTIPLE BENEFITS FOR OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS OF ALL AGES, AND IS EXPECTED TO DRAW MORE COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND VISITORS TO OUR DOWNTOWN AREA AND SMALL BUSINESSES, IN A SMALL RURAL TOWN THAT IS WORKING HARD TO DEVELOP A MORE SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC BASE THAT INCLUDES RECREATIONAL TOURISM AFTER A LONG HISTORY OF ECONOMIC BOOMS AND BUSTS. | Colorado (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | PURGATOIRE WATERSHED PARTNERSHIP, INC | $2.4M | — |

| THE PUBLIC PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT TO REDUCE SALINITY IN THE COLORADO RIVER SYSTEM WHICH WILL HELP PREVENT ECONOMIC DAMAGES IN THE LOWER COLORADO RIVER BASIN. EXCESS SALINITY THAT WHICH IS GREATER THAN THE STANDARD SET TO PROTECT BENEFICIAL USES- POSES A GROWING THREAT TO FOOD PRODUCTION AND DRINKING WATER QUALITY. SALTS INCREASE THE COST OF URBAN DRINKING WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT- WHICH ARE PAID FOR BY RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES. IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT THIS PROJECT WILL RESULT IN THE ANNUAL REDUCTION OF APPROXIMATELY 677 TONS OF SALT IN THE COLORADO RIVER AT A COST-EFFECTIVENESS VALUE OF 85.47 TON SELECTED UNDER THE SALINITY CONTROL PROGRAM NOFO. THE PROJECT IS LOCATED IN THE AREA OF BOTTLE HOLLOW RESERVOIR NEAR FT. DUCHESNE- UTAH. THE BENCH CANAL RECEIVES WATER FROM THE UINTA RIVER AND FLOWS SOUTH APPROXIMATELY FIFTEEN MILES SERVING 5-494 ACRES OF CLASS I LAND. WATER IS DIVERTED TO THE CANAL FROM APRIL 1 TO OCTOBER 31. THE CANAL IS ORGANIZED INTO THIRTEEN DIVISIONS. THIS PROJECT SHALL TREAT THE AREA IN THE BOTTOM THREE DIVISIONS (11- 12- AND 13). THE BENCH CANAL IS AN OPEN- UNLINED CANAL RUNNING FROM ITS DIVERSION IN THE UINTA RIVER- WHICH IS A TRIBUTARY TO THE DUCHESNE AND GREEN RIVERS. THE GREEN RIVER EMPTIES INTO THE COLORADO RIVER. NEARLY THE ENTIRE CANAL IS LOCATED ON TOP OF A ROCKY BENCH WITH EXTREME WATER LOSS. THE LAND SERVED THAT IS STILL FLOOD IRRIGATED IS PRIMARILY PASTURELAND. SOME SPRINKLER IRRIGATION SYSTEMS (400-500 ACRES) HAVE BEEN INSTALLED WITH ASSOCIATED SETTLING PONDS AND PUMPING FOR PRODUCTION OF ALFALFA- SMALL GRAIN- AND CORN IN ADDITION TO PASTURE. THE EARTHEN CANAL WILL BE REPLACED WITH IRRIGATION DELIVERY PIPELINE. | Colorado (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | GRAND VALLEY IRRIGATION COMPANY | $1.4M | — |
| THE ROAN CREEK FISH BARRIER DIVERSION INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT WAS DEVELOPED THROUGH A COLLABORATION OF THE MIDDLE COLORADO WATERSHED COUNCIL, GARFIELD COUNTY, BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT, COLORADO PARKS WILDLIFE, THE LAND OWNER, AND THE WATER RIGHTS HOLDER.

| OVER THE LAST 12 YEARS, ASPEN GLOBAL CHANGE INSTITUTE HAS WORKED WITH LOCAL PARTNERS TO ESTABLISH AN IN SITU SOIL MOISTURE OBSERVING NETWORK TO BETTER UNDERSTAND MOUNTAIN HYDROLOGIC PROCESSES AND POTENTIAL IMPLICATIONS OF CLIMATE CHANGE. THE NETWORK, NAMED THE ROARING FORK OBSERVATION NETWORK, OR IRON, WAS INITIATED IN 2012 AND CONSISTS OF 10 STATIONS THAT SPAN THE ELEVATION GRADIENT OF THE ROARING FORK WATERSHED. THE ROARING FORK WATERSHED IS A MICROCOSM OF THE LARGER SYSTEM AND CONTAINS COMPLEX WATER PROCESSES CHARACTERISTIC OF MANY COLORADO RIVER HEADWATER CATCHMENTS. AS A RESULT, THIS DECADE-PLUS OF IRON DATA HAS UNIQUE POTENTIAL TO CONTRIBUTE TO A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF THE ROLE OF SOIL MOISTURE MEASUREMENTS IN WATER FORECASTING AND MANAGEMENT IN THE COLORADO RIVER BASIN. THROUGH THIS PROJECT, ASPEN GLOBAL CHANGE INSTITUTE, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE COLORADO RIVER DISTRICT AND THE RUEDI WATER AND POWER AUTHORITY, WILL IMPROVE THE QUALITY, ACCESSIBILITY, AND USABILITY OF THE IRON DATASET. THE PROJECT WILL PROVIDE CAPACITY TO DEVELOP STANDARDIZED QUALITY ASSURANCE QUALITY CONTROL MEASURES, AUTOMATE DATA FEEDS, AND BUILD DATA DASHBOARDS AND TOOLS TO GUIDE DATA ACCESSIBILITY AND USE. THESE IMPROVEMENTS WILL SUPPORT USES OF IRON DATA THAT SERVE ONGOING INVESTIGATIONS INTO THE ROLE OF HEADWATER CATCHMENT SOIL MOISTURE IN WATERSHED PROCESSES. THIS PROJECT WILL ALSO SUPPORT WATER FORECASTING AND MODELING EFFORTS BY REFINING A VALUABLE DECADAL-SCALE HEADWATERS SOIL MOISTURE DATASET TO BE MORE ACCESSIBLE AND ROBUST. THIS PROJECT WILL BE COMPLETED IN TWO YEARS WITH AN ESTIMATED COMPLETION DATE OF MARCH 31, 2026. WHILE NOT LOCATED DIRECTLY ON A FEDERAL FACILITY, THE PROJECT IS LOCATED JUST DOWNSTREAM OF RUEDI RESERVOIR AND UPSTREAM OF THE GLEN CANYON DAM WHICH ARE BOTH FEDERAL FACILITIES. | Colorado (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | THE ASPEN GLOBAL CHANGE INSTITUTE, INC. | $123K | — |
| THE ORCHARD MESA IRRIGATION DISTRICT (DISTRICT), LOCATED IN PALISADE, COLORADO, WILL INSTALL MEASUREMENT AND AUTOMATED GATE CONTROL INFRASTRUCTURE ON THE ORCHARD MESA CHECK CHANNEL AND THE ADJACENT VINELANDS POWER PLANT AFTERBAY RADIAL GATES. THE CHECK CHANNEL ALLOWS FOR RE-USE OF COLORADO RIVER WATER DIVERTED FROM ROLLER DAM. THE WATER DIVERTED AT ROLLER DAM IS SPLIT BETWEEN CANALS, TRAVELS TO THE VINELANDS POWER PLANT, AND THEN RELEASED BACK TO THE COLORADO RIVER THROUGH RADIALS GATES OR THROUGH THE EXISTING CHECK CHANNEL. ONCE COMPLETED, THIS MEASUREMENT AND AUTOMATION SYSTEM WILL ALLOW THE DISTRICT TO ACCURATELY MEASURE AND CONTROL THE WATER THAT IS RETURNED TO THE COLORADO RIVER. THE WORK WILL REDUCE RESERVOIR RELEASES FROM GREEN MOUNTAIN RESERVOIR, IMPROVE FLOW MEASUREMENTS, AND CONSERVE LATE STREAM WATER, HELPING TO SUSTAIN AGRICULTURAL VIABILITY IN COLORADOS GRAND VALLEY. THE GRAND VALLEY WATER USERS ASSOCIATION IDENTIFIED THIS PROJECT AS A PRIORITY DURING A 2022 SYSTEM OPTIMIZATION REVIEW. | Colorado (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | ORCHARD MESA IRRIGATION DISTRICT | $100K | — |
| THE CENTRAL COLORADO WATER CONSERVANCY DISTRICT (CENTRAL OR DISTRICT), AND ITS TWO SUBDISTRICTS, THE GROUNDWATER MANAGEMENT SUBDISTRICT (GMS) AND WELL AUGMENTATION SUBDISTRICT (WAS) ARE LOCATED IN NORTHEASTERN COLORADO IN WELD, MORGAN AND ADAMS COUNTIES. AGRICULTURAL PRODUCERS IN WELD, MORGAN AND ADAMS COUNTIES CONTRIBUTE OVER 3.0 BILLION ANNUALLY TO COLORADOS ECONOMY. CENTRALS WATER MANAGEMENT STRATEGY IS TO INCREASE WATER USE EFFICIENCY OF IRRIGATION WELLS WITHIN THE SOUTH PLATTE ALLUVIAL AQUIFER THROUGH ADVANCED MONITORING EQUIPMENT. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF TELEMETRY AND SUPERVISORY CONTROL AND DATA ACQUISITION (SCADA) EQUIPMENT ON 150 IRRIGATION WELLS WILL PROVIDE REAL-TIME DATA FOR THE AUGMENTATION PLANS, ELIMINATING WASTE AND EFFICIENTLY CONSERVING IRRIGATION WATER. THE AUGMENTATION PLANS OPERATED BY GMS AND WAS REQUIRE PROTECTION OF SENIOR WATER RIGHTS, AND THAT PROTECTION IS SATISFIED BY GMS AND WAS DELIVERING WATER TO THE RIVER TO REPLACE DEPLETIONS CAUSED BY WELL PUMPING IN TIME, LOCATION, AND AMOUNT. IF SUFFICIENT REPLACEMENT WATER IS NOT AVAILABLE, THEN WELL USE IS CURTAILED BY STATE WATER ADMINISTRATORS. IN RECENT YEARS, WELL OWNERS IN THE CENTRAL DISTRICT HAVE BEEN CURTAILED BY 50 75 PERCENT BECAUSE REPLACEMENT SUPPLIES HAVE NOT BEEN SUFFICIENT. CENTRAL CURRENTLY OWNS AND OPERATES DOZENS OF SENIOR WATER RIGHTS, STORAGE VESSELS AND RECHARGE PROJECTS IN THE SOUTH PLATTE RIVER BASIN. EXISTING PROJECTS INCLUDE SENIOR WATER RIGHTS, RESERVOIR STORAGE PROJECTS (BENTONITE LINED GRAVEL PITS CONVERTED TO WATER STORAGE AFTER GRAVEL MINING OPERATIONS), ALLUVIAL WELLS THAT PUMP DIRECTLY BACK TO THE RIVER, AND RECHARGE STRUCTURES USED TO CONJUNCTIVELY MANAGE CENTRALS REPLACEMENT WATER SUPPLIES. THE WATER SUPPLIES AND WATER PROJECTS OWNED AND OPERATED BY CENTRAL ARE THE BACKBONE WHICH GRANT THE AUTHORITY FOR GROUNDWATER PUMPING ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. AVAILABLE SUPPLIES AND PRIOR YEARS PUMPING DATA ARE EVALUATED EACH APRIL TO DETERMINE THIS ANNUAL GROUNDWATER ALLOTMENT, OR QUOTA AS DEFINED BY CENTRAL. MARKET VALUE OF WATER RIGHTS AND PROJECTS HAVE BEEN HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY THE EXPLOSION OF URBAN GROWTH THROUGHOUT MUCH OF CENTRALS DISTRICT. THE GROWTH HAS CREATED A MARKET WHICH IS NEARLY INFEASIBLE FOR AGRICULTURE TO CONTINUE TO PURCHASE SENIOR WATER RIGHTS AND BUILD NEW STORAGE TO REPLACE THIS GROUNDWATER CONSUMPTION. INSTALLING TELEMETRY UNITS ON IRRIGATION WELLS WILL GIVE CENTRAL ACCESS TO IMPORTANT WATER QUANTITY MEASUREMENTS WITH INCREDIBLE SPEED AND ACCURACY. CENTRAL PROPOSES TO INSTALL 150 FLOWCONNECTTM TELEMETRY UNITS, MANUFACTURED BY MCCROMETER, INC. THE FLOWCONNECTTM DEVICES CONTINUALLY COLLECT THE TOTAL VOLUME OF WATER PUMPED FROM THE ALLUVIAL AQUIFER AND WILL BE PROGRAMMED TO SUBMIT DAILY PUMPING DATA TO CCWCDS SERVERS VIA SATELLITE CONNECTION. DIGITAL DATA COLLECTED FROM THESE 150 IRRIGATION WELLS WILL BE PROCESSED DAILY AND INCORPORATED INTO CENTRALS WATER ACCOUNTING PROGRAM. HAVING THE GREATEST ACCURACY WHEN MEASURING AQUIFER PUMPING ENSURES CENTRAL IS NOT OVER-REPLACING THE DEPLETIONS CAUSED BY PUMPING ALLUVIAL WELLS. WITH REAL-TIME GROUNDWATER PUMPING DATA THE RIVER ACCOUNTING FOR THE SOUTH PLATTE RIVER WILL BE A TRUE REPRESENTATION OF THE GROUNDWATER CONSUMED BY CENTRALS MEMBERS, INSTEAD OF ESTIMATING MONTHLY DEPLETIONS FROM PREVIOUS YEARS PUMPING DATA, WHICH IS CURRENTLY CENTRALS MANAGEMENT OPTION SYSTEM FOR NEARLY 150 IRRIGATION WELLS WHICH IMPACT STREAMFLOW WITHIN 30 DAYS OF PUMPING.CENTRALS ENGINEER EVALUATED THE EARLY PUMPING ESTIMATES FOR THE 1,300 WELLS IN CENTRALS PLANS OF AUGMENTATION AND COMPARED THOSE RESULTS TO THE ACTUAL PUMPING. IT WAS FOUND THAT 6,996 ACRE-FEET OF OVER REPLACEMENT WAS ESTIMATED IN THE EARLY PROJECTIONS. CENTRAL ESTIMATES ANNUAL WATER SAVINGS BY INSTALLING FLOWCONNECTTM EQUIPMENT ON 150 WELLS IN CENTRALS AUGMENTATION PLANS TO BE UP TO 1,800 ACRE-FEET PER YEAR. DEVELOPMENT OF NEW SUPPLIES OF AN EQUAL AMOUNT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY 36,000,000. | Colorado (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | CENTRAL COLORADO WATER CONSERVANCY DISTRICT | $100K | — |
| THE FRUITLAND IRRIGATION COMPANY (COMPANY), LOCATED IN WESTERN COLORADO, WILL INSTALL SUPERVISORY CONTROL AND DATA ACQUISITION (SCADA) AT THREE KEY GATES ALONG ITS DITCH AND RESERVOIR SYSTEM. ONCE COMPLETED, THIS PROJECT WILL ALLOW THE COMPANY REMOTE AND AUTOMATED CONTROL OF TWO GATES AND THE GOULD RESERVOIR OUTLET GATE, ALONG WITH REMOTE READINGS OF FLOW MEASUREMENTS IN THE SYSTEM. THE SUPERVISORY CONTROL AND DATA ACQUISITION INSTALLATION WILL INCREASE SYSTEM EFFICIENCY AND MANAGEABILITY RESULTING IN MORE RESPONSIBLE DELIVERY OF IRRIGATION WATER TO SHAREHOLDERS. THE PROJECT WILL MEET STATEWIDE AND REGIONAL GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE COLORADO WATER PLAN AND GUNNISON BASIN IMPLEMENTATION PLAN. | Colorado (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | THE FRUITLAND IRRIGATION CO | $92K | — |
