Colorado River Upper Basin Drought Contingency Plan Wyoming’s Role

The Upper Basin Drought Contingency Plan (DCP) is part of a larger DCP developed and negotiated over the last six years by Wyoming, the other Colorado River Basin States, and the U.S. Department of the Interior. The States developed the DCP because the Colorado River Basin has experienced 19 years of drought and the river’s current operating rules cannot sufficiently address this historic drought cycle. If the drought continues or worsens, the Upper Basin DCP provides a process to address the resulting effects. It does not require Wyoming to reduce any water uses. Goals of the Upper Basin DCP The principal goal of the Upper Basin DCP is to help assure continued compliance with the 1922 Colorado River Compact. It does so by protecting the critical elevations at Lake Powell. Lake Powell acts as the Upper Basin’s savings account by storing water in wet years to ensure the Upper Basin can meet its compact obligations in dry years. Protecting Lake Powell elevations also reduces the risk that Wyoming water users will ever see mandatory compact curtailment. The Upper Basin DCP is also intended to maintain hydropower generation at Lake Powell. In addition to providing a reliable power supply for customers including those in Wyoming, revenues from hydropower fund many important purposes, including: (1) Repaying construction costs of federal projects like Flaming Gorge; (2) Continued operation and maintenance of federal reservoirs authorized under the Colorado River Storage Project Act, (“CRSPA”); (3) Continued funding and implementation of environmental and other programs—which allow continued water use and development; (4) Mitigating salinity in the Colorado River; and (5) Funding water projects in Wyoming and the other Upper Basin States. Hydropower generation helps assure that Wyoming has the ability to use and develop its 1922 Compact apportionment. To achieve these goals, the Upper Basin DCP consists of two agreements: The Drought Response Operations Agreement and the Demand Management Storage Agreement. Drought Response Operations Agreement • This Agreement establishes a process to rely on water stored in federal reservoirs as needed to reduce the risk of Lake Powell dropping below a target elevation of 3,525’. It essentially establishes a process to move water from where it is already stored to where it is needed— Lake Powell. This Agreement: o Only applies to the CRSPA Initial Units: Lake Powell, Flaming Gorge, Aspinall and Navajo reservoirs. It does not affect Fontenelle reservoir. o Guarantees Wyoming has a role in how the decision is made. Reclamation already has the authority to deliver stored water to Lake Powell if necessary. o Assures that all Initial Units are considered uniformly. o Precludes the release of any water needed to satisfy existing uses. It does not affect any existing water uses in Wyoming. o Provides for recovery of storage as soon as practicable.

April 25, 2019

• Wyoming’s role: Under the Agreement, Wyoming and the other Upper Basin States have the right to participate in all aspects of plan development and implementation which includes the recovery of any released storage. Additionally, the Agreement provides for public outreach where Wyoming can work with its interested stakeholders regarding potential drought response operations. Demand Management Storage Agreement • This Agreement makes unfilled storage capacity at the CRSPA Initial Units available for use by Wyoming and the other Upper Basin States at no charge. This storage capacity is available if the Upper Colorado River Commission (UCRC) requests its use to store water conserved as part of an Upper Basin demand management program. The Agreement does not establish an Upper Basin demand management program, but does set forth the minimum framework under which the Upper Basin can access the storage prior to 2026. o The purpose of a demand management program will be to reduce consumptive uses in a temporary, voluntary, and compensated manner if needed in times of drought, to help assure continued compact compliance without impairing existing water rights. o If, after study, Wyoming and the other Upper Basin States determine that a demand management program is feasible, they may then develop and implement a program. o A demand management program can only be implemented if approved independently by Wyoming’s Compact Commissioner.

• Wyoming’s role: Wyoming, along with the other Upper Basin States and the UCRC, will investigate the feasibility of an Upper Basin demand management program. Many outstanding issues must be investigated before a program can be established. The investigation will include outreach and input from interested Wyoming stakeholders. Any program must also work within Wyoming and the other three Upper Basin States. Current Status • Congress passed the federal legislation necessary to implement the DCP agreements on April 9, 2019, and the President signed that legislation on April 16, 2019. The Basin States and the Secretary of the Interior intend to sign all of the DCP agreements on May 20, 2019. Signing of those agreements will trigger implementation of Mexico’s Binational Water Scarcity Plan agreed to under Minute 323 to the 1944 Treaty with Mexico. Mexico has agreed to make contributions to Lake Mead in proportion to those that will be made by the Lower Basin States pursuant to the Lower Basin DCP. Higher Lake Mead elevations benefit Wyoming and the other Upper Basin States by benefitting Lake Powell. • After the DCP Agreements are signed, Wyoming, the other Upper Basin States, and the UCRC will investigate the feasibility of a demand management program. • Contributions to Lake Mead under the Lower Basin DCP will begin in 2020. • The DCPs will provide a bridge for the Basin States and the federal government to renegotiate the river’s current operating rules. That renegotiation will begin no later than 2021.

Wyoming Water Development Commission Workshop Wyoming Water Development Office 6920 Yellowtail Rd, Cheyenne, WY March 14, 2019

**Due to a winter storm, only 3 commissioners were present. Gerry Geis served as Acting Chairman. Minimal staff were present as State of Wyoming Offices were closed**

1. Acting Chairman Gerry Geis called the workshop to order at 1:34pm.

2. Roll Call Commission attendance: Gerry Geis, Acting Chairman Mike Purcell Bill Yankee Kellen Lancaster, Secretary via phone Rodney Wagner, via phone Sheridan Little, via phone Clinton Glick, via phone Larry Suchor - absent Senator Larry Hicks – Select Water Committee

3. Audience Introduction One person was in the audience.

4. Legislative Update – Director LaBonde and State Engineer Tyrrell Director LaBonde reviewed several bills pertaining to the Water Development Commission and Office. HB0081 – Omnibus Water Bill – Planning. Passed SF0059 – Omnibus Water Bill – Construction. One significant amendment to Weather Modification in the Wind River Mountains was made. Originally the bill was presented with a 50%-50% funding mix. Senator Hicks supported the program at a funding level of $175,000.00 from the State of Wyoming and additional funds from Colorado and Utah. The bill passed. SD0069 – Water Development Program. Applications received from qualified sponsors for projects not owned by the sponsor could be eligible for funding. Attorney General opinion was provided to the Commission, reiterating adequate public benefit must be shown in order to fund privately owned project. The bill was not received for introduction in the House.

Wyoming Water Development Commission Workshop Minutes March 14, 2019 Page 1

State Engineer Pat Tyrrell presented the next few items. HB0018 – Water Well Drillers. Did not pass. HB0047 – Senate Confirmation of Water Compact Commissioners. Did not pass. SF0039 – Legislative Approval of Water Compact Amendments. Did not pass. SF0042 – Water Division Superintendents. Did not pass. SF0087 – Temporary Instream Water Use. Did not pass.

Senator Larry Hicks suggested Instream Flow may be a potential interim topic subject. Looking into temporary use may be a portion of that discussion.

State Engineer Tyrrell informed the Commission the comment period was still open following the hearings for Instream Flow filings on Shoshone River Instream flow and the Savery Creek Instream Flow. The Commission served as the applicant for the Instream Flow filings. Director LaBonde attended the Savery Creek Instream Flow hearing and discussed the question regarding the need for the filing.

Item #9 Savery Creek Instream Flow Filing was moved up on the agenda to further the discussion and accommodate State Engineer Tyrrell and Senator Hicks.

Mike Purcell asked about the results of the Feasibility Study conducted by the office. Director LaBonde indicated it was deemed feasible in the study. He clarified the application was from storage, not a natural flow application.

Senator Hicks presented a packet of information and exhibits concerning current instream flow laws and issues. He referenced Instream Flow law and 41-3-1004 of Wyoming Statutes.

Director LaBonde addressed Senator Hicks’ concerns. The task of filing instream flow applications is delegated to the Office, by the Commission through Rules and Regulations. The same is true for the feasibility studies. Regarding the cost to provide storage, statutorily he believes the feasibility study can include the cost of developing new storage in the basin that could ultimately provide or meet the instream flow requirement if existing storage facilities were unavailable. Director LaBonde acknowledged the feasibility study for the Savery Creek Instream Flow was not provided to the Legislature nor included in the annual legislative report, and most likely should have been.

Wyoming Water Development Commission Workshop Minutes March 14, 2019 Page 2

Senator Hicks further discussed his concerns. Director LaBonde indicated if the application was to be abandoned and modified the original priority date of 2002 would be forfeited. At this point it is appropriate for the State Engineer’s Office to make a determination on this application. He indicated the report should have been provided to the legislature. Discussion continued. The suggestion to postpone discussion until the May 2019 meeting was made. It was stated the public comment deadline for the State Engineer’s Office is March 28, 2019. Mike Purcell suggested a letter to the State Engineer’s Office to request placing deliberations on hold until the Commission can further discuss at the May 17, 2019 meeting.

5. Project Updates Sweetwater I&S District/Cambria I&S District/City of Newcastle Projects Director LaBonde provided a brief history and update on numerous ongoing issues involving the entities.

Lower Nowood I&S District Project At the Sponsor’s request a Madison well was drilled. The Sponsor requested a deeper well. Director LaBonde informed them the additional expense would be their responsibility. At this point in the project the consulting engineer has resigned. There will be no additional funding provided by the WWDC for further well development.

Big Sandy Reservoir Enlargement The design estimate from the Bureau of Reclamation has increased from $10,200,000.00 to $16,200,000.00, an increase of more than 50%. WWDC has MOA funding to cover a portion of the shortfall as well as some WDA III funds to cover the difference.

6. Platte River Recovery Implementation Program (PRRIP) Update Director LaBonde indicated Senator Barrasso will be sponsoring federal legislation to extend the first increment by 13 years. Governor Mead supported the extension and Governor Gordon feels the same and has provided a letter of support to Senator Barrasso. Director LaBonde has offered to stay on as the Governance Committee representative for Wyoming after his retirement if the Governor’s office agrees. Discussion followed.

MEMORANDUM

DATE: April 25, 2019 TO: Wyoming Water Development Commission FROM: Jason Mead, P.E., Deputy Director – Dam & Reservoir Division SUBJECT: Amendment Five to Clear Creek Storage Study, Level II, Phase II

This memo is to serve as an explanation for Amendment Five to the Clear Creek Storage Study, Level II, Phase II. The amendment extends the current contract expiration date with Wenck Associates from June 30, 2019 to June 30, 2021.

A Level II Storage Feasibility Study was initiated in mid-2011 to further explore storage opportunities identified in the Clear Creek Watershed Study. Results of the Level II Storage Feasibility Study allowed WWDC to identify the Bull Creek Reservoir concept as the preferred alternative. The Project has the potential for multiple uses and benefits, in addition to supplemental irrigation. Phase II work initially focused on hydrologic model refinement and geotechnical investigations to further determine the feasibility of the preferred alternative. Results of the geotechnical investigation showed a strong foundation to safely build an embankment on, however uncontrolled seepage rates appeared to be high through the bed of the reservoir pool area and surrounding ridges because of bedrock that is predominantly uncemented sandstone, consequently driving up the cost. This lead the Phase II study to re-evaluate other potentially feasible alternatives. Shortly after funding became available, private lands came up for sale higher in the Bull Creek drainage which was previously unavailable for consideration of a reservoir site, but exhibited better geologic conditions. Through coordination and discussions with various agencies and non-governmental organizations, the Office of State Lands and Investment Board of Land Commissioners began analyzing the property and eventually made a decision to complete a land exchange to acquire the property as it fit very well with their trust land management objectives. The negotiation of the land exchange opened the door on an Upper Bull Creek reservoir alternative. A geotechnical investigation of the Upper Bull Creek site was ultimately allowed to take place in 2016. The results of the geotechnical investigation are positive and the remaining environmental analysis and associated field work has been completed, along with conceptual designs and cost estimates. Beneficiary/stakeholder meetings and entity formation would need to occur prior to moving the project forward. Furthermore, in light of recent State revenues, funding for the project may not be available. As a result, other configurations and alternatives may need to be analyzed. This amendment extends the current contract expiration date to allow for these items to be addressed.

MEMORANDUM

DATE: May 6, 2019 TO: Wyoming Water Development Commission FROM: Jason Mead, P.E., Deputy Director – Dam & Reservoir Division SUBJECT: Amendment Six to Little Snake Supplemental Storage, Level II Study

This memo is to serve as an explanation for Amendment Six to the Little Snake Supplemental Storage, Level II Study. The amendment extends the current contract expiration date with Wenck Associates from June 30, 2019 to June 30, 2021.

In 2013, an appropriation was granted by the Wyoming Legislature to complete water quality analysis, update hydrologic modeling with temporary stream gauging, procure NEPA liaison services, and complete permitting and final design. Hydrologic modeling was updated and refined with additional data. A series of water quality and sediment samples were collected and analyzed, compared against historic water quality data, as well as discussed at length with WYDEQ. Results indicate that post-project conditions will be equal to or better than current water quality conditions experienced in Haggarty Creek, therefore confirming the feasibility in moving forward with permitting and design of the West Fork Reservoir site. Construction of West Fork Dam and Reservoir will provide supplemental late season irrigation water to lands within the Little Snake River Basin which includes lands in both Wyoming and Colorado. At the same time, this project will provide secondary environmental benefits to the watershed. The 10,000 acre-foot reservoir could have a 6,500 acre-foot active irrigation account, 2,000 acre-foot conservation pool, and a 1,500 acre-foot minimum streamflow bypass account. Managing the new reservoir in conjunction with the existing High Savery Reservoir would have benefits throughout the Basin.

The West Fork Reservoir site sits on both private and U.S. Forest Service property. As such, discussions have occurred with both parties. After discussions with the Forest Service, it was decided and supported in concept by the federal agency, that a legislated land exchange could be a logical next step and would require Federal legislation. In 2018, the Wyoming Legislature appropriate $4.7M to identify, investigate, and acquire suitable lands for the purpose of the land exchange. However, a special condition was placed on the appropriation that funds could not be expended until the project sponsor and the WWDC have secured additional funding commitments from project beneficiaries in both Wyoming and Colorado on a pro rata basis. The WWDC participated in a tour of the project and the Little Snake River Basin in the summer of 2018 which included the Colorado River District, the Savery-Little Snake Water Conservancy District, the Pothook Water Conservancy District, Senator Michael Bennett, and others. Furthermore, the WWDC has met with the past and current Director of the Colorado Water Conservation Board, as well as the Yampa-White-Green River Basin Roundtable. In addition, Project proponents within the Little Snake River Basin also continue to collaborate with Colorado. All entities have expressed support for additional storage in the Little Snake/Yampa River drainages and support

Memorandum Wyoming Water Development Office Page 1 for the West Fork project. However, a mechanism for cost sharing has not been identified, generated or executed at this time. It is important to note though, that both benefiting Conservancy Districts plan to re-apply for PL566 Watershed and Flood Prevention Operations Program funding this year, with the support of both Wyoming and Colorado NRCS. This amendment extends the current contract expiration date with Wenck Associates to allow the Project to progress once funding commitments can be secured.

PROJECT: Niobrara/Lower North Platte Rivers Watershed Study LEVEL: I SPONSOR: Niobrara Conservation District LOCATION: Goshen, Niobrara, and Platte Counties PROGRAM: New Development PROJECT MGR: Jodie Pavlica WWDC MTG DATE: May 17, 2019

AUTHORIZING LEGISLATION: Purpose Chapter Session Account Appropriation Due Date Level I 65 2017 I $1,087,500* 2020

* The 2017 Wyoming State Legislature authorized a “block appropriation” for one or more of seven watershed studies for which applications had been received and for which the Commission was instructed to establish a prioritized list. This study was one of four prioritized and approved for funding by the Commission with a project specific budget of $271,875.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Niobrara Conservation District requested a watershed study to evaluate current watershed condition and function, in response to the 2015 Niobrara River severe flood episode. This study helped to identify opportunities for river bank stabilization and erosion control. Irrigation system efficiency, wetland and riparian area analyses, and a geomorphic classification were also investigated. The District also wanted to consider their options for groundwater conservation. This study provides baseline data from which the District can pursue the implementation of management practices that address the natural resource issues within the watershed. The completion of this watershed study puts the District in a position to leverage Small Water Project Program funding to address specific watershed conditions while providing benefit for wildlife, livestock and the environment.

PROJECT FINDINGS/RECOMMENDATIONS: To complete the objectives of the study as outlined above, the following items were completed: • Encouraged communication and solicited participation among all interested parties • Inventoried and evaluated the watershed condition and function

Page 1 of 2

• Performed a geomorphic classification to identify impaired reaches and improvement options • Assessed irrigation systems and generated rehabilitation alternatives for irrigators • Evaluated potential opportunities to improve water availability for livestock and wildlife • Developed alternatives for improvements in a Watershed Management and Rehabilitation Plan • Identified permits, easements, and clearances necessary for plan implementation • Estimated costs for proposed improvement alternatives and potential projects • Completed an economic analysis and identified potential sources of funding

Utilizing the information gathered in the above tasks, the consultant developed the following project recommendations:

• A total of 10 proposed irrigation projects with 16 associated components were identified during field inventories • 24 proposed livestock/wildlife water projects were identified for development. This included 13 wells, 6 solar pumps, 6 spring developments, over 50,000 feet of buried pipelines, 39 stock tanks, 7 storage tanks, and several ponds/reservoirs • 5 new small ponds were proposed for construction, 3 existing stock ponds were proposed for rehabilitation, and one reservoir (Hoblit Reservoir, 59.67 acre-feet) was proposed for rehabilitation • 3 channel stabilization projects were proposed on the North Platte River

The projects described above can be found in more detail in the study’s Rehabilitation and Management Plan in Chapter 4 of the report.

PROJECT: Sunlight Basin Instream Flows LEVEL: I SPONSOR: State of Wyoming LOCATION: Park County (Sunlight Basin north of Cody) PROGRAM: Instream Flow Studies PROJECT MGR: Chace Tavelli WWDC MTG DATE: May 17, 2019

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Per Wyo. Stat. § 41-3-1003 the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission (WGFC) identified three stream segments where instream flows were deemed critical for instream flows. The segments for this study were Muddy Creek, Crandall Creek, and Dead Indian Creek, all located in Park County and tributaries to the Clarks Fork Yellowstone River. The WGFC, though the Wyoming Game and Fish Department (WGFD), studied and produced biological reports for each identified segment. The analyses completed in the biological reports aided the WGFC in identifying the points on the stream at which the need for instream flows begin and end, the time of year when the flows are most critical, and a detailed description of the minimum amount of water necessary to provide adequate instream flows to maintain or improve habitat for Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout. Said statute then requires the Wyoming Water Development Commission (WWDC) to file applications in the name of the State of Wyoming for permits to appropriate water for instream flows in those segments of streams recommended by the WGFC.

Per Wyo. Stat. § 41-3-1004(a), the WWDC is charged with determining the feasibility of providing instream flows for the recommended segments of streams from unappropriated direct flows, from existing storage facilities, or from new facilities. This study meets that requirement.

PROJECT FINDINGS/RECOMMENDATIONS: It was determined that the instream flows requested could not be satisfied by new storage as it is not economically viable; there is no existing storage. Two analyses were used to help determine the availability of unappropriated direct flows; a mean monthly unappropriated direct flow analysis and an exceedance

Page 1 of 2

analysis. An exceedance of 20% or more is desired to ensure the water right is exercised once every five years which is consistent with Wyo. Stat. § 41-3-401(a). Per Wyo. Stat. § 41-3-1004(b), the following summaries provide the findings from the study. The bold and underlined values indicate a threshold has been achieved. Meeting a threshold means that there is a potential for an instream flow request to be satisfied during the specified time period. The threshold for unappropriated direct flow is a value equal to or greater than the instream flow request. The threshold for the exceedance analysis is a value of 20% or greater. The % exceedance of the requested flow value is the percentage of time that the flows are equal to or greater than the instream flow request.

REGARDING: Colorado River Basin 2019 MOA Applications Update

As of April 1, 2019, the Wyoming Water Development Office (WWDO) received no MOA applications to fund projects located in the Colorado River Basin. However, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) has requested additional funds for the existing Farson Lateral Phase I project and the Big Sandy Reservoir Enlargement project. Details for this funding request are provided in the April 24, 2019 WWDO letter, “MOA Budget Modification.”

In order to receive funds, potential MOA projects apply to the WWDO, applications are ranked by the WWDC, ranked applications are submitted to the Upper Colorado River Commission, and then submitted to Reclamation for final approval. A MOA project needs to be associated with an existing Reclamation Project (e.g., Eden, Big Sandy, Stateline, etc.) located in the Colorado River Basin. Approved projects are managed by Reclamation and utilize allocated funds from hydropower revenues generated from the Colorado River Storage Project1.

Currently, there are five WY MOA projects that are being managed by Reclamation. Please find the following Wyoming MOA funding information below:

• MOA Agreement executed 1/24/2011- funds first available in the 2012 federal fiscal year • MOA Agreement expires 9/30/2025 (funds available through 9/30/2030) • Total anticipated WY MOA funds per agreement: $ 24,652,285 • Previously funded WY MOA projects: $ 18,745,579 o Upper Green Remote Sensed Data Study o Flaming Gorge Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention o Big Sandy Reservoir Enlargement o Stateline Dam Spillway Improvements o Farson Lateral Phase I o Big Sandy/Green River Gauging Stations o Blacks Fork River Gauging Station • Total remaining anticipated WY MOA funds: $ 5,906,706 o Proposed Budget Increase for Big Sandy Reservoir Enlargement and Farson Lateral Phase I $ 5,820,000 • Total remaining anticipated WY MOA funds: $ 86,706

1 A Reclamation project to develop the upper Colorado River basin which includes the Glen Canyon Dam (Lake Powell), Flaming Gorge Dam, Navajo Dam, and other units along the Colorado River.

TO: Jason Mead, P.E., Acting Director, Wyoming Water Development Office

FROM: Keenan Hendon, Project Manager

REGARDING: Colorado River Basin MOA Budget Modifications

The Wyoming Water Development Office (WWDO) received a request from Reclamation for additional funding for previously funded projects. Scott Winterton, Reclamation Project Manager, prepared updated cost estimates and determined additional MOA funding is necessary for the Farson Lateral Phase I and the Big Sandy Reservoir Enlargement Project (Projects). The Projects are needing additional MOA funds totaling $5,820,000 for the design and construction of the projects.

The following details the additional funds request and the impact on Wyoming’s MOA funding:

PROJECT NAME CURRENT BUDGET INCREASE TOTAL Farson Lateral Phase I1 $ 5,310,000 $ 200,000 $ 5,510,000 Big Sandy Res Enlargement2 $ 10,610,000 $ 5,620,000 $ 16,230,000 Total Costs: $ 15,920,000 $ 5,820,000 $ 21,740,000

The Bureau of Reclamation is seeking an acknowledgement of the cost increases from the Wyoming Water Development Commission.

Please find the following Wyoming MOA funding information below:

1 Original project budget was $3,735,000 and increased by $1,575,000 in August 2017. 2 Original project budget was $7,002,000 and increased by $3,608,000 in August 2017. RECLAMATION’S UPDATED COST ESTIMATES:

Please find the following Farson Lateral Phase 1 cost increase explanation from Scott Winterton, Chief, Design and Contract Administration Group, for the Bureau of Reclamation, Provo Area Office.

On the Farson Lateral Phase 1 Piping Project, additional funds are needed to cover costs associated with changes to the design at the end of the Phase 1 pipeline. This design modification is required due to the change in time to complete the Phase 2 portion of the piping project. The Phase 2 section, funded through the Basin States Program and WWDC, was originally intended to be attached directly to the end of the Phase 1 pipeline and be completed at the same time thus allowing water to be delivered to the users through both the Phase 1 and Phase 2 pipe sections during the 2019 irrigation season. Due to inadequate funding, the Phase 2 project was unable to be awarded at the same time as Phase 1, therefore it will not be completed until 2020. Water is still required to be delivered in the Farson Lateral system during the 2019 irrigation season so dissipation structures and several other Phase 1 modifications are necessary to transition from the pipeline back to the open canal and allow the project to function in the manner intended.

A negotiated final pricing of $250K for this modification has been agreed upon between Reclamation and the Contractor. There is currently approximately $125K left in the budget to cover modifications to the contract leaving a shortfall of approximately $125K at the current stage of construction. It is proposed to allocate $200K of MOA funds to the Farson Lateral Phase 1 Piping Project to cover this current modification and also allow for any unforeseen changes through the completion of the project. Any unused funds would revert back to the State for use on other MOA projects.

Please find the following Big Sandy Reservoir Enlargement cost increase explanation from Scott Winterton, Chief, Design and Contract Administration Group, for the Bureau of Reclamation, Provo Area Office.

The design for the enlargement of Big Sandy Reservoir has been completed to the 90% design level. Project cost estimates have increased from the previous 30% design which was approximately $10.2M to the current 90% project estimate of approximately $16.2M. Additional funds are necessary to complete the design and provide funding for the construction contract.

Factors that have caused this increase are outlined as follows:

1. Design data collection at the spillway was necessary to collect concrete core samples. The information obtained necessitated design changes to incorporate an anchoring system to securely connect the new spillway concrete to the foundation. 2. Constraints identified during a constructability review necessitated design changes for the filter diaphragm around the outlet works at the dam which resulted in increased quantities. More in-depth research also resulted in an increase to unit pricing for materials for this item. 3. Additional excavation was determined to be necessary for the left abutment filter trench. Drilling information collected indicated cracking in the abutment foundation that could only be confidently addressed with the trench excavation laid back with slopes instead of a vertical trench. 4. The extents of the cement-bentonite cutoff wall in the dike were increased. Also, additional material was necessary to re-establish the dike to the original design elevation. 5. Slope protection along the dike was determined to be necessary to eliminate a potential re- alignment of the dike that was previously considered to be viable by re-grading the slopes to an 8H:1V slope. Re-alignment and grading was not possible due to environmental constraints and additional riprap was required to be added to protect the slopes. 6. The design for the replacement of the Big Sandy Feeder Canal structure was modified due to risks identified with potential seepage along the conduit. The conduit was required to be encased in concrete to mitigate these risks. 7. Additional cultural items were identified during the NEPA process which require additional trenching and mitigation. 8. Additional funding for final design to cover the various changes necessitated by the required revisions. 9. Funding for support during construction and project closeout from Reclamation’s Technical Service Center has not been included in previous estimates as those estimates only incorporated contract and inspection costs.

Reclamation has considered various alternatives and looked at ways to cut back costs to the extent practical. The proposed 90% designs are considered the most cost effective methods to address the risks associated with the reservoir enlargement.

2. Describe the location of the project:

The Bridger Valley Joint Powers Board is located in Uinta County and the Green River Basin. The regional water supply system serves a population of 6,088 people through 613 taps within the corporate limits and ~1,470 taps outside of the corporate limits in Bridger Valley (total 2,083 taps). The JPB is supplied with surface water from State Line Dam and Meek’s Cabin Dam and from the Smiths Fork and Black’s Fork Rivers. The total average surface water yield is approximately 2,100 gpm (3 million gallons per day). The surface water is treated at the water treatment plant from the intake structure on the Smiths Fork River and stored in a 1,000,000-gallon concrete tank, a 500,000-gallon welded steel tank, and a 500,000-gallon bolted steel tank; a total capacity of 2 million gallons.

3. Summarize the request:

A Level I regional water master plan is requested by the Bridger Valley Joint Powers Water Board to evaluate the current condition of their water system and to provide the tools and guidance necessary to assist in the planning,

2020 RECOMMENDATION MUNICIPAL/JOINT POWERS WATER BOARD WATER SYSTEMS PAGE 1 OF 8 rehabilitation, upgrading, and managing of their system. The plan would serve as a framework to establish project priorities and to perform financial planning necessary to meet those priorities. The plan would also provide reconnaissance-level information regarding costs and scheduling. This Level I study would need to include Fort Bridger, Lyman, Mountain View, and Urie, which are currently served by the JPB water system.

The BVJPB is requesting this Level I study to identify the system’s problems such as storage, transmission, and distribution. The specific system concerns include: water storage at the treatment plant, water treatment plant upgrades to increase treated water output, low pressure concerns in Fort Bridger, repair concerns for poor condition water lines in Fort Bridger, dead end pipelines and looping concerns in Lyman, concerns about the old iron pipeline in Main Street in Lyman, and concerns about old fire hydrants and the need to upgrade pipelines in Mountain View.

4. Summarize the reasons for the request:

The Bridger Valley Joint Powers Board is requesting a Level I regional water master plan study to identify the components of the existing system that are deficient and to provide a schedule for improvements. It will also identify system needs and develop a plan to accommodate future growth. The last WWDC study, the Level II Water Supply Study, was completed in 1995. Since 1995, the Bridger Valley JPB has regionalized the Bridger Valley and supplies water to the area residents.

Project Type: Municipal Water System County: Park

Sponsor: City of Cody

WWDO Recommendation: Level I Proposed Budget: $TBD

Project Manager: Chace Tavelli

I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The City of Cody operates two water distribution systems, the first for treated water and the second for raw water. The treated water system provides domestic water, fire suppression, and a portion of the irrigation needs within the City’s corporate limits. The raw water system provides irrigation to only a portion of the City’s corporate limits estimated at fifty percent of the City’s land area. The treated water system was last analyzed with a master plan in 2009 and the raw water system had a separate analysis in 1996. Significant modifications, upgrades, and repairs have been made to both systems since that time, along with new growth and development throughout the City.

The requested master plan will analyze both the drinking and raw water systems, update hydraulic models and mapping, determine future growth and water needs, and develop a schedule for system upgrades and the corresponding rate structure necessary to accommodate those upgrades.

The Town of LaGrange is located in Goshen County within the North Platte River Basin. The Town has a total area of 0.41 square miles, a population of 445 (as of the 2017 census) and serves 147 taps within the corporate limits, with two taps outside corporate limits. Groundwater for the town is supplied by the White River Formation through two wells which consist of an average yield of 450 to 500 gallons per minute (GPM). A 300,000 gallon above-ground water storage tank sits on the hill to the northeast.

3. Summarize the request:

The Town of LaGrange is requesting funding for a Level I Study to evaluate the condition of their water system and develops a prioritized list of projects that would provide solutions for the Town’s water system deficiencies. The current water system was originally constructed in the early 1980’s, and requires an update in order to accommodate the Town’s growth. The Town is also requesting methods for integrating water treatment into their system (if and when the need arises), as well as, addressing inadequacies in fire protection, providing redundancy, and improving the metering process. The Town also requests an evaluation of water transmission to residential areas that currently do not have access to water, and eliminating dead-end lines by tying them back into the current system.

This Level I Study would provide the tools and guidance necessary to assist in the planning, rehabilitation, upgrading, and managing of their system. The study would serve as a framework to establish project priorities and to perform financial planning necessary to meet those priorities. The study would also provide reconnaissance-level information regarding costs and scheduling, and provide GIS mapping and hydraulic modeling.

4. Summarize the reasons for the request:

If the Town of LaGrange were forced to treat water based on water quality results from required EPA testing, there would be no method in place to safely treat that water. Additional capacity is required in order to provide adequate fire protection for the town, especially if and when the water tower needs to be shut down temporarily. There is also insufficient fire protection for some areas due to dead-end and/or small-diameter water lines that only allow for “low flow” fire hydrants. Several fire hydrants around town are inactive due to a lack of appropriate service and parts. The current flat-rate fees for water within the Town of LaGrange are not enough to support maintenance of the

2020 RECOMMENDATION MUNICIPAL/JOINT POWERS WATER BOARD WATER SYSTEMS PAGE 1 OF 8 Town’s water system. Currently, the Town has no redundancy in the system, and growing developments have limited or no access to water. Pipelines for irrigation are generally in good condition, but become brittle and tend to break down when tapped.

Project Name: Lower Shoshone Watershed Study Program: New Development

Project Type: Multipurpose County: Big Horn and Park

Sponsor: Shoshone Conservation District

WWDO Recommendation: Level I Proposed Budget: $TBD

Project Manager: Peter Gill

Project Description: The Shoshone Conservation District is requesting a watershed study to evaluate current watershed processes and to develop water projects on the ground. The District is experiencing problems with sediment in their reservoirs as well as in irrigation diversion and conveyance systems. High flows in the Shoshone River move channels and erode irrigated lands. The District is interested in discussing water management on BLM lands and movement toward stemming the inflow of sediment into Big Horn Lake. This study will not include the Willwood area, but will use the recommendations from the ongoing Willwood dam studies to inform sediment management BMPs within the study area. In addition, irrigators would like better access to water and an understanding of irrigation efficiencies and return flows in order to explore the piping of smaller canals. A current assessment of upland water sources and invasive species is also needed.

The study will provide an inventory of physical, biological, and built systems within the watershed. Watershed studies evaluate water infrastructure and water storage systems for enlargement and rehabilitation, assess current condition of wetlands and riparian areas within the drainage, and provide geomorphic classification. This information will provide baseline information from which the District can pursue implementation of management practices that address the natural resource issues within the drainage.

The Shoshone River drains a large portion of the Big Horn Basin in NW Wyoming and includes the Buffalo Bill Reservoir. This study will focus on the Lower Shoshone River watershed, located primarily in Big Horn County, and includes the towns of Lovell, Byron, Cowley, Deaver, and Frannie. The watershed includes the primary stream system of the Lower Shoshone River downstream of Powell at Whistle Creek. The main tributaries including Big Wash, Coon Creek, Sage Creek, Dry Creek, Whistle Creek, and Crooked Creek. The portions of the study area that drains from Montana will not be included in the study.

Project Name: Pinedale Water Master Plan Program: New Development

Project Type: Municipal Water System County: Sublette

Sponsor: Town of Pinedale

WWDO Recommendation: Level I Proposed Budget: $TBD

Project Manager: Chace A. Tavelli

I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Town of Pinedale provides water to a current population of approximately 2,030 people through about 1,200 service connections. The system’s source water is from Fremont Lake. In August of 2018, there was a fecal coliform spike in the raw water causing over 10% of samples during a rolling six month period to exceed fecal coliform criteria. The EPA indicated that they will likely be requiring the Town to either (1) implement filtration within the next 18 months, (2) conduct a watershed study to determine the source of fecal coliform or, if not attainable, potential sources of the fecal coliform and provide the EPA with an action plan for reducing the impact of these sources on the Town’s supply, or (3) develop an alternate source of water.

The Town is requesting a municipal water master plan to evaluate their water system, update hydraulic models and mapping, determine future growth and water needs, identify options for water treatment, identify an alternate source of water to meet EPA requirements, and evaluate water rates to accommodate the findings of the plan.

I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Central Wyoming Regional Water System (Regional) was formed in 1993 for the purpose of providing a centralized water supply/treatment and transmission system to the central Wyoming area. The Regional System obtains its water through a series of wells constructed in the North Platte River alluvium. Based on Cryptosporidium source water monitoring results obtained during the second round of the Long Term 2 Enhanced surface Water Treatment Rule Sampling, the EPA has placed a Bin 2 classification on the Central Wyoming Water Treatment System. To achieve EPA compliance, the disinfection system for the ground water treatment plant needs to be upgraded to include the installation of ultraviolet light disinfection. This project is to design the ultraviolet disinfection system and design the upgrade of the existing ozone generation process.

Project Type: Rural Domestic Water System County: Big Horn

Sponsor: South End Water Users Improvement and Service District

WWDO Recommendation: Level II Proposed Budget: $TBD

Project Manager: Jodee Pring

I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

This project is to determine the feasibility of extending the South End Water Users (SEWU) water line to allow approximately 25 new users into the district who currently haul water. Also, two additional extensions to the current line would create a loop system and eliminate dead end lines for both the Town of Cowley system and the SEWU system.

2. Describe the location of the project:

The project is located in Big Horn County. The SEWU service area is south and east of the Town of Cowley.

3. Summarize the request:

To determine the feasibility of extending the South End Water Users (SEWU) water line west of the current line along Lane 8 (on map, Lane 8 extension) and along Lane 9 (on map, Lane 9 extension). The Lane 8 extension would allow SEWU to create a looped line for a dead end line and will serve approximately 8 additional users. The Lane 9 extension would extend service toward the Town of Deaver and allow approximately 25 new users into the District. These new users currently haul water for their domestic use. The Lane 9 extension would also allow the Town of Cowley to extend a line south from their west end line to tie to this line (on map, Town of Cowley extension). This will allow both the Town of Cowley and SEWU water lines to become a loop and eliminate dead end lines for both entities, increasing the quality of water that is supplied and improve water pressure. This extension could also potentially become a line for Shoshone Municipal pipeline and Northwest Rural Water to provide water to their users in case of an emergency.

4. Summarize the reasons for the request:

This project is needed to provide water to those hauling water, remedy the problem of dead end lines in the system and create a loop system. Currently, to keep water in the system fresh, lines are opened once a week and water is dumped. This results in a significant waste of water. Creating a loop system would relieve the necessity of

2020 RECOMMENDATION RURAL DOMESTIC WATER SYSTEMS PAGE 1 OF 7 opening those lines. This project would also create some emergency lines for Shoshone Municipal pipeline and Northwest Rural Water.

2020 RECOMMENDATION RURAL DOMESTIC WATER SYSTEMS PAGE 2 OF 7

The South End Water Users are requesting a Level II Feasibility Study to explore extending existing lines to provide water to those who are hauling water. This study would also explore recommendations listed in the Town of Cowley’s Master Plan, completed in 2016, which includes minimizing and eliminating dead end lines to reduce water loss and avoid water quality issues. Looping the lines within the same service area would help maintain system pressures and operational compatibility. In addition, these line extensions could potentially become a source of emergency water for the Shoshone Municipal Pipeline and Northwest Rural Water.

Project Name: Owl Creek Irrigation District Lucerne Master Plan Program: Rehabilitation

Project Type: Agricultural Irrigation Supply County: Hot Springs

Sponsor: Owl Creek Irrigation District

WWDO Recommendation: Level I Proposed Budget: $TBD

Project Manager: Mabel Jones / Peter Gill

I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Owl Creek Irrigation District (District) is proposing to sponsor a Level I Master Plan for the Lower/Lucerne Irrigation Area (Lucerne) to investigate upgrading current irrigation facilities and infrastructure from the diversion at the Big Horn River to the end of the Lucerne area system.

1. Existing and Prior Legislation:

Project Level Chapter Session Account Appropriation Reversion Year Owl Creek ID Master Plan I 125 2003 II $ 150,000 2004 Owl Creek ID Conservation Study II 123 2005 II $ 100,000 2006 Owl Creek ID Storage Supply II 123 2005 III $ 200,000 2006 Owl Creek Watershed Study I 38 2016 I $ 375,000 2019

2. Describe the location of the project: This project area is within the Owl Creek Irrigation District (District) and located approximately 3.5 miles north of Thermopolis, Wyoming via State Highway 20. The District includes three areas: Upper, Middle and Lower (Lucerne). This project includes the Lower area of the District, in the Lucerne Valley, near the confluence of Owl Creek and the Big Horn River. The Lucerne area of the District includes 4,400 acres served by the Upper and Lower Canals via water conveyed from the Big Horn River.

3. Summarize the request: The Lucerne area system includes a primary pump station (84 cfs) and one re-lift pump station (33 cfs) serving three main canals: Upper, Lower, and Dempsey. Inventory of this system has been completed in previous studies and by the sponsor. This study will revisit those inventories to provide an update on the condition and needs (operational as well as rehabilitation) for conveyance structures and headgate/turnout metering.

There is an immediate need for a comprehensive evaluation of the major mechanical systems, electrical systems, and infrastructure associated with replacement of both the primary and re-lift pump stations. Additionally, the study will include an assessment of the structural integrity of spillways on the Upper Canal. Recommendations will include detailed conceptual plans, costs and phasing to allow the sponsor to immediately move forward with construction. Identification of funding assistance and the ability to pay for improvements will also be included in the study.

4. Summarize the reasons for the request: This project will address recommendations identified in the 2017 Owl Creek Watershed Level I Study for the Lucerne area of the District. The systems failing infrastructure creates high operation and maintenance costs which must be passed on to shareholders. The primary and re-lift pumps and motors, which have been rebuilt, were installed in 1956. Maintenance of the aging pumps is costly and parts are no longer available. The pump house itself is deteriorating with sheared bolts and crumbling concrete. In addition the electrical system requires upgrades to

2020 RECOMMENDATION AGRICULTURAL WATER PROJECTS PAGE 1 OF 8 ensure efficient and safe operation. Spillway issues include erosion from a 45’ drop and issues with seasonal floodwaters. Finally, efficient conveyance and seepage is an issue.

Project Name: Highland Hanover ID Pump Station Program: Rehabilitation

Project Type: Agricultural Irrigation Supply County: Washakie

Sponsor: Highland Hanover Irrigation District

WWDO Recommendation: Level II Proposed Budget: $TBD

Project Manager: Peter Gill

I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

This study will optimize plans to rehabilitate Highland Hanover ID Pump Station #2. This is one of the top projects coming out of the 2019 Master Plan. The condition and age of Pump Station #2 necessitate improvements. The pump station is critical to the operation of the District. It provides up to 84 cubic feet per second (c.f.s.) to Highland Hanover Canal 2 and 12 c.f.s. to the Coutis Ditch. This station services 5,663 acres or 81% of the acreage under the Highland Hanover Irrigation District. The 1950’s era facility is inefficient and ongoing repairs are expensive as parts are often not available for the obsolete equipment. Assessment rates have been raised in recent years to accommodate the increased costs to the system.

A Level II Study is recommended based on the complexity of the pump station and the degree of measurements, calculations, structural and electrical design, as well as control options that need evaluation. This study will optimize the final design and the effects of ground movement on the structural and piping components. Options to integrate SCADA controls and improved startup and shutdown procedures are also recommended for additional study.

2. Describe the location of the project:

The District is located in the Big Horn Basin near Worland, within Washakie County, Wyoming. Pump Station #2 is located approximately 13 miles down-canal from the Hanover Canal diversion, or two miles southwest of the Worland airport. See attached map.

3. Summarize the request:

The District is requesting an engineering study to assess the most effective way to rehabilitate Pump Station #2 on the Highland Hanover irrigation system. The study will assess the geotechnical, electrical, and structural components of the station to optimize the final design. Options to integrate SCADA controls and improved startup and shutdown procedures is recommended for study. Additionally, the study should evaluate the electrical design, and control options required to deliver the desired functions of the pump station to the District.

2020 RECOMMENDATION AGRICULTURAL WATER PROJECTS PAGE 1 OF 7 4. Summarize the reasons for the request:

The large, centrifugal pumps are very aged, requiring replacement, along with all electrical gear and controls associated with them. The impellers for the two primary centrifugal motors are nearing the need for replacement, and the components are not readily available. The vertical turbine pumps were supplied with improper column lengths which do not provide proper submergence, allowing the pumps to create vortexes during maximum operation of all four Pump Station 2 pumps. Additionally, the anchor/thrust block at the convergence of the discharge pipes for the Coutis Ditch has been moving toward the pump station and pushing the pumps from their original mounting locations. A Level II Study is recommended based on the complexity of the pump station and the degree of measurements, calculations, structural and electrical design, and control options required to deliver the desired functions of the pump station to the District. Additional study will allow more in-depth geotechnical, electrical, and structural study to optimize the final design, and better understand the movement and its effects on the current structure and piping components.

II. WWDC ELIGIBILITY CONSIDERATIONS

The current estimate for rehabilitation of the system is roughly $1,500,000. Before moving into construction more information is needed to know the best options for rehabilitation and the most cost effective solutions.

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS University of Wyoming Office of Water Programs Water Research Program FY2020

The Office of Water Programs/Water Research Program welcomes proposals covering a wide range of topics involved in Wyoming’s water resources. Each proposal shall include a “Non- technical Statement of Relevance” explaining how the study could be used by governmental agencies in the management of Wyoming’s water resources, will meet the research needs of State and Federal agencies regarding Wyoming’s water resources, and support water related training and education.

Dam Operation and Sediment Management and Transport The accumulation of sediment in stream systems and behind dams presents challenges. Effective dam operations require the ability to meet water user needs while still protecting downstream uses (e.g., fisheries, aquatic life). Additional research is needed to help understand how to prevent heavy sediment releases and how to effectively respond when they occur. Areas of research include, but are not limited to: ● Additional studies describing the fate and transport of sediments in Wyoming’s erosive watersheds and what measures can assist with reducing sediment inputs. ● Further studies on using “flushing flows” to address downstream sediment deposition following releases. ● Studies on economically feasible ways to remove sediment accumulated behind dams. ● Information on ways to most effectively manage sediment at dams and reservoirs to protect and maintain downstream surface waters. ● Best management practices (BMPs) for reducing sediment transport from contributing watersheds. ● Studies evaluating the negative impacts of sediment deposition on land use and land features, such as rangelands and wetlands.

Proposals may build on the current Water Research Program Project, Sediment and Fisheries: An Assessment to Inform Sediment Management Practices at Wyoming Dams, or other existing sediment studies in the State of Wyoming. Proposals having a broad applicability to dams statewide are encouraged as well.

Enhanced Water Supply Forecasting and Water Use The Wyoming Water Strategy identified the need to better understand watershed, atmospheric, and climatic variables and their effects on streamflows and water supply, as well as the need to update, improve and/or develop water supply forecasts in river basins of Wyoming. Additionally, improvements on methods for estimating current and historic consumptive use in multiple areas of the state would be useful.

Areas of research include: ● Construction or evaluation of existing flow forecasting tools that analyze the response of various combinations of climate, water demand and land use on streamflow as well as general watershed hydrology. Particular emphasis should be placed on: 1

o Calibration of forecasting tools in hybrid plains/mountain streams with highly variable climates during low flow years. This could include an evaluation of temperature predictions in relation to water demand factors as well as research aimed at enhancing understanding of transitional zones (i.e. foothills that typically receive intermittent to seasonal snowpack) and lower-elevation (i.e. high plains) contributions to streamflow. Two examples of basins of interest in Wyoming that have large datasets that can contribute to the initiation of research are the Tongue River and Upper North Platte River Basins. o Use of geospatial models and statistical analyses to better understand the important drivers of streamflow (including drivers that determine whether a stream is intermittent or perennial in a given basin) in small stream basins (<50 square miles). o Developing and/or testing accuracy of various techniques for estimating streamflow variables, such as mean monthly flows and exceedance flows, in small, ungauged basins. ● Research in support of using remote sensed data in the evaluation of the extent of snowpack and snow water equivalent and resulting streamflow. ● Identification of areas in Wyoming where additional snow and/or climate instrumentation would benefit water supply forecasting. ● Identification of areas of consistently larger seasonal runoffs for potential siting of future water developments. ● Development of tools that would allow Wyoming to take advantage of emerging remote sensing technologies to determine current and historic consumptive use.

Groundwater Analysis/Aquifer Potential Characterization This topic seeks research that attempts to address the challenges of measuring and allocating groundwater in areas of growing population and declining groundwater resources. Research regarding the integration of recognized modeling techniques with existing hydrogeologic and geophysical measurements to understand aquifer reservoir properties and dynamics is needed. Priority is given to the application of digital/numerical/statistical tools that increase knowledge of groundwater basin aquifer systems and recharge areas of the State.

Protecting Public Health Wyoming citizens and out-of-state visitors enjoy fishing, boating, swimming, floating, and other recreational opportunities provided by Wyoming’s lakes, reservoirs, rivers and streams. However, recreational activities, particularly those that result in full-body immersion, can pose a risk to public health if individuals are exposed to pollutants in the water that cause adverse health effects. Proposals may build on the current Water Research Program Project, “Understanding the Contribution of Different Microbial Sources to Surface Water for Informed Management of Waterborne Pathogens in Wyoming”. ● Water borne pathogens (as typically measured by the indicator E. coli) cause the majority of Wyoming’s surface water quality impairments. Research addressing pathogens is of significant importance to the State of Wyoming. Additional tools are needed to better allow state and local water managers, regulators, conservation groups, and others to minimize public health risk by 1) better assessing and prioritizing public health risk, 2) identifying sources of pathogens, and 3) identifying effective management measures to reduce

pathogens and mitigate public health risk. In particular, the following topics are identified as priority research areas: o Studies related to evaluating the ability of indicators other than E. coli (e.g. enterococci, coliphage) to accurately assess public health risk from waterborne pathogens in Wyoming waterbodies. o Studies related to the fate and transport of pathogens (particularly E. coli as an indicator) in the environment. o Studies related to the ability of pathogens (particularly E.coli as an indicator) to survive and persist in streambed sediment and how this relates to assessing public health risk. o Epidemiological studies relating pathogen levels to incidence of water borne pathogen exposure and illness in Wyoming streams and rivers. o Studies using Microbial Source Tracking (MST) to determine various sources contributing pathogens to surface waters. o Studies that evaluate the effectiveness of conservation practices in reducing pathogen (E. coli) loading to surface waters.

● Nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus), in appropriate amounts, are essential to healthy aquatic ecosystems. However, excessive nutrients, or nutrient pollution, can lead to harmful cyanobacteria blooms (HCBs) in lakes or reservoirs. HCBs are dense concentrations of cyanobacteria or blue-green algae that pose a risk to human, pet, and livestock health. HCBs can produce poisons called cyanotoxins and may be associated with other irritants that can cause adverse health effects such as rashes, itching, numbness, nausea, fatigue, disorientation, abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. In extreme cases, cyanotoxins may lead to pet or livestock death. HCBs can also cause fish kills and interfere with drinking water supplies. Recreational use health advisories were issued on twelve (12) Wyoming reservoirs in 2018 due to HCBs. Research on nutrient pollution and HCBs would help state and local entities better identify, assess, and respond to HCBs in order to reduce public health risk from exposure to cyanotoxins and other cyanobacteria-related irritants. In particular, the following topics are identified as priority research areas: o Studies related to the fate and transport of cyanotoxins and other compounds associated with cyanobacteria blooms. o Studies evaluating the effectiveness of conservation practices or advanced treatment septic systems in reducing nutrient loading to surface waters. o Studies on the types and levels of toxins (or other compounds causing health effects) in cyanobacteria blooms in Wyoming surface waters. o Studies to identify target nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations to prevent unsafe densities of cyanobacteria. o Studies evaluating the health risks to humans, pets, livestock and wildlife associated with cyanobacteria blooms with and without toxins. o Studies related to the presence of benthic cyanobacteria blooms and potential toxin production in streams and rivers. o Studies evaluating the use of remote sensing techniques to identify and quantify cyanobacteria blooms. o Studies evaluating the risks of using irrigation water from lakes and reservoirs where HCBs are occurring.

Conveyance Losses Conveyance efficiency is of considerable interest to irrigators and water resource managers since it can significantly affect the amount of water delivered to the point of use (crop) from the diversion. To better develop hydrologic models meant to determine volume, location, and timing of irrigation shortages and available water for development, water developers desire to have a better understanding of conveyance efficiencies in various settings. The project objective would be to evaluate available conveyance loss studies on river/stream systems and conveyance ditches/canals, to provide information that could be applied to hydrologic models developed throughout the State.

1 WYOMING DRINKING WATER STATE REVOLVING FUND (DWSRF) FY2020 INTENDED USE PLAN

The Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), the Office of State Lands and Investments (OSLI), and the Wyoming Water Development Office (WWDO) jointly administers the DWSRF. As required each year the Intended Use Plan (IUP) is revised and updated. The IUP identifies the proposed uses of the funds available through the DWSRF program during the upcoming funding year. The draft IUP is required to be presented to the public at a public hearing and then submitted to the Legislative Select Water Committee for their review and recommendation. A public hearing was held on May 2, 2019, to discuss the draft 2019 DWSRF IUP and to solicit public comments prior to the finalization of the IUP. One comment was received, please see Appendix 3. Public entities with unranked eligible projects that would qualify for the program were also encouraged to notify OSLI, DEQ, or WWDO in order to rank and include them in the new draft IUP, allowing the projects to become eligible for program assistance.

The draft IUP contains a priority ranked listing of the currently identified publicly owned drinking water system projects to address compliance issues and improvements to address system deficiencies. The draft IUP prioritizes and ranks potential projects based upon several factors. These factors include addressing public health issues, resolving compliance issues, and correcting system deficiencies. It is important to include projects in the draft IUP because it keeps these projects eligible for funding. Water system improvement projects that do not appear on this IUP are not eligible to receive loans or funding from the program. The draft FY2020 IUP Priority Ranking List contains 229 projects with estimated costs over $347 million. It is estimated that applicants seeking funding from the program could total nearly $81 million in requests for 2020. The list also shows an estimated $267 million in requests for 2021-2023.

The DWSRF will provide $220,000 of funding to the Wyoming Association of Rural Water Systems (WARWS) to fund two full time positions. The objectives are to provide technical assistance, operator training/assistance and source water protection assistance/guidance to smaller water systems under 10,000 populations. On-site technical assistance efforts would be directed toward unincorporated rural systems, tribal systems, and small municipal/water districts.

As required by the DWSRF State enabling legislation, the draft IUP is being made available to the Select Water Committee for its review and recommendations. A copy of the draft IUP may be viewed on the Wyoming DEQ website. Following review and input from the Select Water Committee, the draft IUP will be submitted to the State Lands and Investment Board for final approval and then to EPA for Agency approval.

To date the DWSRF has provided a total of about $273 million to eligible entities throughout the state utilizing 221 loans including the 25 ARRA funded loans.

Current funds available for loans are estimated to be about $135 million, which includes the estimated FY2019 and the 20% state match. Estimated loan applications for the upcoming year total about $65 million. Please note that Wyoming is currently only accepting every other years Capitalization Grant and skipped the FY2018 grant and expects to skip to the FY2020 grant.

Drinking Water State Revolving Fund

FY2020 Intended Use Plan

Introduction

The 1996 Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) amendments include requirements for each state to prepare an Intended Use Plan (IUP) for each capitalization grant application. The IUP describes how the State will use the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) to meet SDWA objectives and further the protection of public health. The IUP contains the following elements:

1. Priority List of Projects 2. Criteria and Method for Distribution of Funds 3. DWSRF Financial Status 4. Additional Subsidization 5. Green Project Reserve 6. Short- and Long-term Goals of the Program 7. Description of Set-Aside Accounts and Activities

The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), Office of State Lands and Investments (OSLI), and Water Development Office (WDO) prepared the draft IUP and provided it to the public for review and comment. The DWSRF program held a public meeting on the draft IUP on May 2, 2019, in Cheyenne. Appendix 3 summarizes comments and responses from the public meeting. Additionally, pursuant to State law, DEQ, OSLI and WDO submitted the IUP to the Select Water Committee for review, comment and recommendations. The Wyoming State Loan and Investment Board (SLIB) authorized the Final Intended Use Plan at its meeting on June 6, 2019. The Final IUP will be submitted to EPA Region VIII.

Priority List of Projects

Appendix 1 contains the Comprehensive Priority List of public water systems in Wyoming that have expressed interest in the DWSRF, are planning capital improvement projects, have been identified as serious public health risks, have received notices of SDWA violations, or were issued administrative orders. Not all of the projects in Appendix 1 will use SRF funds. Some systems do not yet have major projects planned; the remainder expect to proceed with projects within the next several years. Cost information is not always available. Some systems have not yet completed the feasibility or financing plans for their projects.

The DWSRF program has identified projects most likely to apply for DWSRF funds during the upcoming year. Staff bases this projection on conversations and contacts made from potential

1 applicants. However, there is nothing implicit that these potential applications have preferential status to receive funding. Actual funding decisions will be made by the SLIB based on actual applications received and criteria determined by SLIB. The DWSRF program has also made conditional awards to fifteen projects. These projects with conditional awards still need to complete the remaining steps for DWSRF funding, either during the remainder of FY2019 or during FY2020. Projects with conditional awards do have preferential status to receive funding.

The Comprehensive Priority List in Appendix 1 identifies the projects that are expected to apply for DWSRF funds during FY2020 or that are expected to complete the remaining steps on conditional funding awards by the end of FY2019 or during FY2020. Their total estimated cost is $81,604,000. The DWSRF program believes these are the projects that will most likely pursue funding; however, other projects from the priority list may proceed before envisioned. The comprehensive priority list also identifies the projects expected to apply for funding during the FY2021-FY2023 timeframe. Their total estimated cost is $266,996,000. All projects on the Comprehensive Priority List are eligible to receive DWSRF loans. The State intends to fund projects in the actual application pool with both first and second round funds as needed to best meet (in the judgment of the State) the various known federal and state requirements, such as those regarding binding commitments, additional subsidization, green project reserve (GPR), and any as yet undetermined requirements.

Criteria and Method for Distribution of Funds

The Safe Drinking Water Act amendments of 1986 and 1996 imposed many new regulatory requirements upon public water suppliers. Public health and compliance problems related to these requirements are the most influential criteria in Wyoming’s project ranking system. System deficiencies, as related to public health and compliance, are also considered in the Wyoming ranking system. The financial impact of the proposed project on the system users is also considered; the communities most in need of low interest loans to fund the project are awarded points under the affordability criteria.

A summary of the ranking criteria and scoring is listed below. The complete Wyoming DWSRF Ranking System is attached to this plan as Appendix 2.

1. Public Health Issues - 200 points maximum 2. Compliance Issues - 240 points maximum 3. System Deficiencies that may affect public health or ability to comply - 85 points maximum 4. Affordability - 30 points maximum

Because public health issues may result from a variety of causes, points may be obtained from more than one of the four ranking system categories listed above. For example, any documented public health issue, such as a boil order resulting from bacteriological contamination, would be accompanied by compliance and system deficiencies points. Points are not awarded for any issue which results from operator error. Typically, project proposals that address immediate public health receive the highest overall scores, followed by proposals that address lower risk public health threats, such as chemical contaminants present at low levels, and then by proposals that address system deficiencies that may not allow compliance with existing or future regulatory requirements before noncompliance occurs.

The Wyoming DWSRF program is required annually to use at least 15% of all funds credited to the DWSRF account to provide loan assistance to systems serving fewer than 10,000 people. Because the majority of systems in Wyoming serve fewer than 10,000 people, this requirement has and will be achieved.

Financial planning: The State of Wyoming bases its financial planning for the DWSRF on the following factors: fund utilization, Mineral Royalty Grant funds available, and projects ready to proceed. The core loan program interest rate of 2.5% and the special terms under recent capitalization grants have increased loan applications over the last few years. In addition, the loan origination fees and the interest payments are projected to increase as projects are completed and loan repayments begin. Furthermore, the health of the fund will increase with a higher fund utilization rate to replenish the revolving fund.

Interest rates and different types of assistance: The current market rate is calculated annually in July; the current market rate is 3.80%. The market rate is calculated using the Range of Yield Curve Scales, for Bonds with a rating of BAA for a twenty year period.

Most loans will be made at a 2.5% interest rate; however, loans under the GPR will be made at a 0% interest rate. Repayment periods are up to twenty (20) years on regular loans and up to thirty (30) years on loans to disadvantaged communities. The interest rates were determined based on the following factors: Mineral Royalty Grant funds available, current market rate, and the need to ensure maximum fund utilization. In addition, each applicant will pay a 0.5% origination fee upon completion of loan documents. Some loans will also include forgiveness of a portion of the loan principal under requirements and criteria for awarding additional subsidization. Both additional subsidization and the GPR are discussed further in separate sections of this IUP.

Project funding decisions and bypass procedures: Historically, the State has been able to fund all eligible projects which actually apply for loan funding, and it expects to be able to continue to do so during FY2019, though not all applicants will likely be able to receive the full amount of principal forgiveness for which they apply. If and when the loan application amounts exceed the funding available for loans, the State will fund projects in order of priority of those that apply that are ready to proceed promptly with construction (or with design work for a design only loan). An exception may apply to projects eligible for the GPR; these projects, in priority order, may bypass higher ranked projects if needed to achieve the minimum GPR funding requirement. Only projects on the priority list will be considered eligible for funding, except in the case of emergencies as described below.

Non-emergency bypass procedures: Any projects not ready to proceed, or that do not apply, will be bypassed in favor of projects that actually apply. These determinations will be made at the time applications are received and presented to the SLIB. In addition, the State will do as much as possible to make bypassed projects ready to proceed in future years. This effort will include grant and loan seminars and video conferences to help applicants arrange funding for their projects. Only projects on the priority list will be considered eligible for funding, except in the case of emergencies as described below.

Emergency bypass procedures: If SLIB determines that immediate attention is required to protect public health, a project may be funded with DWSRF funds on an emergency basis, even if it is not on the IUP. Any eligible costs would be reimbursable after the project meets all other applicable DWSRF program requirements. An emergency for this purpose refers to a natural disaster or similar event that causes damage or disrupts normal public water system operations and requires immediate action to protect public health and safety.

Cash Draw Ratio: In FY2020, the DWSRF program will use the grant-specific proportionality method for cash draws. The federal and state ratios for each open grant are calculated in Table 1. Currently the DWSRF program is using the FY2016 grant to pay for project payment requests.

Table 1. Cash Draw Ratio Calculation State Set Aside Federal State Year Cap Grant Match Accounts Federal State Total Portion Portion 2014 $8,845,000 $1,769,000 $530,700 $8,314,300 $1,769,000 $10,083,300 82.46% 17.54% 2015 $8,787,000 $1,757,400 $853,060 $7,933,940 $1,757,400 $9,691,340 81.87% 18.13% 2016 $8,312,000 $1,662,400 $498,720 $7,813,280 $1,662,400 $9,475,680 82.46% 17.54% 2017 $8,241,000 $1,648,200 $494,460 $7,746,540 $1,648,200 $9,394,740 82.46% 17.54%

Data Entry: The State will perform monthly updates to the DW Projects & Benefits Reporting (PBR) database. In addition, the State will perform monthly updates to the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act Subaward Reporting System (FSRS) to meet the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act as required by the grant conditions of awarded grants.

* Program administration set-aside: In previous IUPs, Wyoming reserved the authority to set aside an amount equal to four percent of each capitalization grant from FY2008 through FY2017, including ARRA 2009 (amount reserved from these grants=$5,364,980). Wyoming also reserves the authority to set aside four percent (estimated amount reserved=$440,160) of the FY2019 capitalization grant. Wyoming took administration set-aside totaling $662,120, as part of its FY2016 and FY2017 capitalization grants. Wyoming now plans to take an administrative set aside equal to four percent ($440,160) of the FY2019 capitalization grant. The remaining amount (estimated at $683,960 = $6,374,781 + $440,160 - $325,840 - $5,364,981- $440,160) remains reserved.

** As of 4/4/2019, $5,379,912 of the estimated fund balance has been conditionally awarded but is not yet under binding commitment. Projects involved are noted on the priority list and are expected to complete the remaining steps for DWSRF funding during the remainder of FY2019 or in FY2020.

A more detailed description of set-asides may be found later in this plan. Any unused administrative funds are placed in an account and used for administration in future years. After federal capitalization grants are no longer available the program must rely solely on loan origination fees and State funds.

The State program legislation and rules provide for the collection of a 0.5% loan origination fee which is to be set aside in a separate account to provide for future administration of the DWSRF program. All current and future fees will be placed into an administration account.

Additional Subsidization

Starting with the FY2010 federal capitalization grant, the State must use certain amounts of the capitalization grant to provide additional subsidization to eligible recipients. In addition to that requirement, the State also intends to take a 30% allowance from both the FY2019 and FY2020 capitalization grants to provide additional subsidization to disadvantaged communities, as allowed under federal DWSRF rules. The 30% allowance is estimated to be $2,472,300 for each of these fiscal years. The State provides additional subsidization in the form of loans in which a portion of the principal will be forgiven upon project completion. SLIB determines the actual amount of principal forgiveness awarded to individual projects based on criteria set forth in SLIB Rules and Regulations Chapter 16 and on the actual applications received. The rules base eligibility for principal forgiveness primarily on disadvantaged community criteria that are based on income data, unemployment data, and population trends. The rules also allow eligibility based only on income criteria in cases where principal forgiveness does not need to be linked to disadvantaged community criteria. The rules specify a maximum percentage of principal forgiveness for applicants based on the given criteria. Table 3 shows the status of the additional subsidization requirement.

6 Minimum additional subsidization still required $0 (for FY2019 grant) Maximum additional subsidization still available $0.00

Green Project Reserve

Starting with the FY2010 capitalization grant, to the extent there are sufficient eligible project applications, the State must use certain minimum amounts of the capitalization grants to fund projects which address green infrastructure, water or energy efficiency improvements, or other environmentally innovative activities (collectively referred to as "green" projects). This requirement is referred to as the Green Project Reserve, or GPR. Table 4 shows the status of the GPR. The priority list (Appendix 1) shows that sufficient green projects are anticipated to apply for funding or to complete remaining steps on conditional funding awards to meet the minimum required GPR amount. Other projects on the priority lists may be able to show, through a business case or other information, that they also are green projects; these projects too will be considered eligible for award under the GPR. GPR loans will have an interest rate of 0% and will be eligible for principal forgiveness under the criteria established in SLIB rules.

Short-term Goals

1. To administer the DWSRF program in Wyoming.

2. To ensure the technical integrity of DWSRF projects through the review of compliance records; outreach efforts including presentations and training at Wyoming Association of Rural Water and Wyoming Water Quality and Pollution Control Association events and conferences; and review of planning, designs/specifications, and construction documents and activities.

7 3. To ensure the financial integrity of the DWSRF program through the review of the financial impacts of publicly owned public water supplies’ loan applications, and the ability for loan repayment.

Long-term Goals

1. To build and maintain a permanent, self-sustaining State Revolving Fund program that will serve as a cost-effective, convenient source of financing for drinking water projects in Wyoming.

2. To provide a financing assistance program to help publicly owned public water supplies afford sustainable infrastructure and to assist them with funds to complete capital improvement projects to maintain and achieve compliance.

3. To work with other federal, state, and local assistance providers to bundle funding packages that address publicly owned public water supplies' most pressing needs.

4. To have the OSLI, the DEQ, and the WDO recommend priorities for financial assistance from the DWSRF program to the Wyoming SLIB.

Set-Asides

The DWSRF may fund certain provisions of the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act, through the use of “set-aside” accounts. The DWSRF Federal and State enabling legislation allows set- aside amounts of the federal drinking water capitalization grant for specific purposes. These set-asides each have different purposes and conditions. Wyoming currently uses an administration set-aside and a technical assistance set-aside. Other set-asides which may be established include state program management and local assistance. The State of Wyoming reserves its right to implement its option to fund allowable set-asides.

Administration Set-Aside: Wyoming uses the 4% administration set-aside to cover program development, review of water system facilities plans, construction and bid documents, assistance and oversight during planning, design and construction, loan origination work, administering repayments, costs associated with the Select Water Committee and the public comment process, staff salaries, and other associated costs to administer the program.

Wyoming set-aside 4% of the FY1997 - FY2007 capitalization grants for program administration. In previous IUPs, Wyoming reserved the authority to set aside an amount equal to 4% of each capitalization grant from FY2008 through FY2017, including ARRA 2009 (amount reserved from these grants=$5,364,981). Wyoming also reserves the authority to set-aside 4% (estimated amount reserved=$440,160) of the FY2019 capitalization grant. Wyoming took administration set-aside totaling $662,120 as part of its FY2016 and FY2017 capitalization grants. Wyoming did not take an administrative set aside from the FY2018 capitalization grant as we did apply for the 2018 Capitalization grant. The remaining amount (estimated at $683,960 = $6,374,781 + $440,160 - $325,840 - $5,364,981-$440,160) remains reserved.

8 Any funds that were set-aside for administration but not actually spent will be placed in an account and used for administration in future years. After federal capitalization grants are no longer available, the program must rely solely on origination fees and State funds. Spending such funds is subject to approval of the Wyoming Legislature, although federal restrictions will limit use of these funds to purposes related to this program.

Technical Assistance for Small Systems Set-Aside: A state may use up to 2% of its allotment to provide technical assistance to public water systems serving 10,000 people or fewer (section 1452(g)(2)). If a state does not use the entire 2% for these activities against a given allotment, it can bank the excess balance and use it for the same activities in later years. If a state chooses to use funds under this set-aside, EPA encourages states to use available funds to support small system efforts to apply for DWSRF loans. A state may use these funds to support a technical assistance team or to contract with outside organizations to provide technical assistance. Wyoming plans to continue using this set-aside to fund a contract with the Wyoming Association of Rural Water Systems to assist small systems. An updated work-plan will be submitted to USEPA Region VIII for their approval.

Appendix 3: Summary of Comments and Responses from Public Meeting

Announcement of Public Meeting for discussion of the Intended Use Plan (IUP). Advertised March 31 in the Casper Star-Tribune and on the DEQ and OSLI websites. e-mail comment from Bill Adsit, Sheridan, 4/18/2019: “As I look at the proposed rating system for loans to groups listed in this proposal, it seems the point system is overly aggressive. Due to the small populations and low incomes in rural areas, this system will potentially have the state funding water and wastewater systems in numbers that will severely impact the state lands budget. I would suggest either changing the number of points for each category, or dropping the 75 percent relief zone.” Comment is noted.

Public Meeting held May 2 as advertised at DEQ office (200 W. 17th St. 2nd floor),

All attendees were the team directly responsible for the administration of the SRF programs (Bill Tillman-DEQ SRF Project Manager, Beth Blackwell-OSLI Grants Manager, Keenan Hendon, representing Wade Verplancke-WWDO SRF Project Manager, Shawn King-OSLI Sr. Grants & Loans Analyst, Stan Miller-DEQ SRF Project Engineer). There were no other attendees.

Discussion was opened for comment on the draft IUP and there was no specific comment regarding the current listings, other than noting that the final numbers for the narrative had been sent over by OSLI and should be incorporated into the final reports in the next few days.
