<br />Project Description and Alternatives <br /> <br />The purpose of this project is to provide a means for the Fulton to continue <br />providing irrigation water to shareholders while minimizing the occurrence of future <br />failures of their diversion structure. Two alternatives were considered <br /> <br />1. The no-action alternative <br />2. Repair of the spillway using steel sheet pile, concrete and grout. <br />3. Removal and replacement of river diversion structure. <br /> <br />Alternative No.1 was considered unacceptable as Fulton could not deliver water to its <br />shareholders should the spillway fail. <br /> <br />Alternative No.2 provided the least expensive and most timely manner in which to <br />repair the structure, and would insure at least a 30-40 year life for the spillway. <br /> <br />Alternative No.3 was considered and dismissed as it would require several times the <br />amount of money and time available, and would present numerous permitting <br />requirements. <br /> <br />The selected alternative, Alternative No.2 <br /> <br />Tetra Tech RMC ("RMC") has prepared engineering designs and cost estimates <br />for the project. Design plans as prepared by the RMC are attached in the back pocket of <br />the study, submitted with Fulton's application. <br /> <br />The estimated cost of the completed project is $200,000.00. The cost breakdown <br />is summarized in Table 1. The RMC Design report and detailed cost estimate are <br />included with Fulton's application along with the lowest/awarded bid of Diamond <br />Excavating. <br /> <br />Table 1.
