Fort Collins wants to expand the Halligan Reservoir and has sent and application to Larimer County for approval. The water-storage reservoir is located about 25 miles northwest of Fort Collins on the North Fork of the Poudre River. The Loveland Reporter Herald reports the permit would allow for increasing the height of the dam to enlarge the reservoir by 8,200 acre-feet, expanding its surface area by 138 acres. The permit application was submitted on Aug. 14, and the first step in the process is for Larimer County’s staff to determine whether the application is complete and ready for full review.
