James Tingle Dam and Reservoir Park County, Colorado
The planned 400 acre-foot James Tingle Dam and Reservoir is located southwest of
the town of Jefferson in Park County, Colorado near Michigan Creek.
Construction of James Tingle Dam and Reservoir
The dam site is at an elevation of approximately 9,400 feet. Primary use of the
reservoir will be a water storage vessel used to supply metered historic return
flows to Michigan Creek. The under construction reservoir is utilizing a balanced
cut/fill of onsite materials and will have both above and below grade storage.
Project challenges include construction in a remote, high mountain environment,
design of return flow facilities capable of operation during the winter and project
constraints due to the location of wetlands near the site.
Deere & Ault provided engineering services on this project that included a
feasibility study, geotechnical investigations, hydrological investigations, and general
civil engineering. The information collected during the investigations was incorporated
into the design of the reservoir. Deere & Ault prepared plans and
specifications that were subsequently reviewed and approved by the SEO. Deere &
Ault is also performing the construction engineering.
Major project components include a 26-foot high zoned earth embankment with 200,000 cubic
yards of earthwork, grouted riprap inlet channel, outlet channel, outlet works with concrete
gate vault, concrete spillway, 80,000 square foot slurry wall, and metered return flow system.
