<br />Appleton Northwest Lateral & Drainage Co, Agenda Item 5. <br />January 23-24, 2002 (Updated January 28, 2002) <br /> <br />Proiect Description <br />Three alternatives were analyzed in the feasibility study: <br /> <br />1. No Action <br />2. Rehabilitate the head gate structure and place the ditch in pipeline and provide a piped <br />drainage system ($267,900) <br />3. Rehabilitate the head gate structure and the concrete ditch. <br /> <br />Alternative 3, Rehabilitate the head gate structure and the concrete ditch, would solve the <br />seepage problems, but would leave an open ditch with the associated hazards and <br />maintenance problems. For these reasons is was ruled out. Alternative 2, Rehabilitate the head <br />gate structure and place the ditch in pipeline and provide a piped drainage system, is a full <br />rehabilitation of the lateral, resolving all existing maintenance and hazard issues. This <br />alternative ;s feasible and is considered the preferred alternative by the members. The no- <br />action alternative was considered unacceptable since it would leave the members short of water <br />and dealing with the high maintenance costs associated with a deteriorated ditch system. <br /> <br />Selected Alternative 2 consists of construction of a new head gate on the GVIC Main Line, <br />and placement of 16,850 feet of open ditch in pressurized plastic pipeline. The system will be <br />rehabilitated in two phases. Phase 1 will consist of the head gate and the upper portion of the <br />lateral. Phase 2 will consist of the lower portion of the lateral. The new system will have a <br />capacity of 5 cfs, and taps will be provided for individual water users. A piped drainage system <br />will also be constructed to solve flooding problems. This alternative will solve the problems of <br />seepage and flooding, as well as provide salinity control. The pressurized taps will add value for <br />the individual water users. <br /> <br />The implementation schedule calls for completion of financing arrangements in winter-spring <br />2002. Final engineering design for Phase 1 will be completed in January 2002, and construction <br />will be completed by April 15, 2002. Final engineering design for Phase 2 will be completed in <br />summer 2002, and construction is scheduled to be completed fall 2002. <br /> <br />Financial Analvsis <br />The total estimated cost of the project is $267,900 (including engineering costs).
