3) Fort Morgan Canal (Structure ID 0100514) <br />The Fort Morgan Canal headgate is located on the south side of the South Platte River and <br />directly irrigates lands under the canal. The unlined canal travels in a general southeasterly <br />direction to serve lands southeast of the City of Fort Morgan. The canal is siphoned under Bijou <br />Creek at their intersection. The canal also provides deliveries to the Western Sugar Plant via a <br />lateral located just south of the State Routes 144 & 76 junction. The 200 foot diversion structure <br />at the river consists of a 50 foot in length cement wall and twelve vents at 12 foot widths each. <br />Length: Approximately 30 miles <br />Capacity: The capacity of Fort Morgan Canal is 323 cfs, although operationally Fort Morgan <br />limits its diversions to approximately 285 cfs to prevent possible canal damage. <br />Measurement Device: Diversion measurements are made using a 20 foot weir with clock <br />recorder located approximately '/z mile downstream from the river diversion structure. <br />The measurement device is maintained and rated by the State and the Water <br />Commissioner is responsible for collecting records from this device. A check structure in <br />the canal allows for measurements of the diversions to the Western Sugar Plant, although <br />the Sugar Plant diversions are included in the overall diversion records for the Fort <br />Morgan Canal. <br />Jackson Lake Reservoir System Page 9 of 14 <br />Figure 2: Jackson Reservoir Historical Storage Records (black line) and Recommended <br />Storage Records for Surface Water Model (red line after 1989) <br />
