It <br />services approximately 6,400 acres ranging from two miles west of Orchard to three miles east of <br />Weldona. The Company's major facilities include a bladder dam diversion at the South Platte River, <br />a flume crossing at the Jackson Lake outlet, a flume crossing at the Cottonwood Draw, and a return <br />flume at the terminus of the ditch. The Cottonwood Draw flume is the subject of this loan request. <br />The flume is a wooden and steel structure built in 1965. It is nearing the end of its useful life and <br />needs to be replaced. Additionally, it spans a natural drainage area and is thereby threatened by <br />floods. The Company plans to replace the flume with a concrete siphon. Final design is expected to <br />be complete in January of 2009; construction is set to follow immediately with completion estimated <br />in February of 2009. <br />t <br />...... <br />Jackson Reservoir i <br />.r ~_~ .~~ <br />• -~ ~ - ~; ~ ~ `~ Cottonwood Draw Flume <br />~~ _ i -- <br />_. ~ r-:; ~ Weldon <br />r..,, , - -,, -~ 1- / Valley Ditch <br />1. / y Weldona ~' ~ . ~ 1 <br />r <br />;~ Orchard , .. <br />.. <br />--- ~ ~- - <br />'~ ~~ - 4. .w... ~- ---- <br />_ _ ~ ~ ~ ,.
