<br />The Selected Project <br /> <br />Bijou plans to construct alternative #3. Features of this <br />alternative are as follows: <br /> <br />Sheet piling and pipe piling will be used under all the new <br />concrete structures for general stabilization and for <br />protection from undercurrents. Pipe piling will be placed in <br />an equally spaced pattern and the sheet piling will form the <br />perimeter of these structures. <br /> <br />The bladder gate will have a monolithic steel reinforced <br />concrete floor. This floor will be approximately 15 inches <br />thick. <br /> <br />wing walls and support walls will all be steel reinforced <br />concrete with a minimum thickness of 15 inches. <br /> <br />The river structure will be 96 feet of Obermeyer Pneumatic <br />Spillway Gate or Bladder Gate. This gate will be 8 feet high <br />and will be located immediately adjacent to the river radial <br />gate and the ditch intake structure. <br /> <br />These features are shown in the preliminary set of plans found in <br />Appendix D. <br /> <br />Water Rights <br /> <br />There are approximately 24,000 acres served by water of the Bijou <br />Irrigation Company. Bijou has numerous decrees for irrigation <br />water, storage water and recharge water all of which are diverted <br />through the Bijou canal. The most senior irrigation decree is a <br />1871 date for 40 cfs but the largest irrigation decree is a laaa <br />date for 450 cfs. A complete listing of all the Bijou rights <br />diverted through the Bijou canal is found in Appendix E. <br /> <br />As mentioned before, Bijou has had an average annual diversion of <br />47,460 acre feet for all water diverted into the Bijou canal. <br />Yearly diversions for Bijou would be considered fairly <br />inconsistent. Variations in these numbers correspond to seasonal <br />variations in precipitation and the introduction of new recharge <br />rights to the Bijou system. <br /> <br />Feasibility Study <br />Bijou Irrigation Company <br />Diversion Structure <br />June 2007 <br /> <br />4 <br />
