CWCB Construction Fund Loan Application <br />4. Pease provide a brief narrative description of the proposed project including purpose, need, <br />facilities, type of water uses to be served and service area. Attach separate sheet, if needed. <br />The Riverside Ditch has not received much real repair and little improvement in recent decades. The <br />Com�anX did construct two siphons the cost of which was funded bX shareholder assessments usine a <br />CWCB loan. Those improvements are in effect the first steps of phased canal moderniza.tion and <br />repairs to a�me infrastructure. <br />Of particular concern at the present is the river diversion. The Companv has been unable to take their <br />full decreed flow because of the flow back to the river throu�h the wing wall that directs water toward <br />the river diversion head gate. The Company has been considering a number of phased improvements to <br />the canal which can be characterized as: <br />■ Repairs to the river diversion. <br />■ Linin�of portions of the canal. <br />■ Consideration of canal monitoring� (and potentiallv future gate actuation using supervisory <br />control and data acquisition1SCADA) equit�ment. <br />■ Phreatophvte removal and �TUrilri� <br />■ Installation removal, or repair of selected head gates and includin� a standardized downstream <br />flume. <br />These considered improvements, as �ronosed herein, would have the overall e�ect and benefit to the <br />RD&AEC shareholders throu�h: <br />• Improving overall canal operations and operational efficiencv. <br />■ Increasing consistency of shareholder head�ate deliveries. <br />■ Irnplementation of standardized companv-wide, wheeled headgates with standardized flumes <br />downstream. <br />■ Decreasin�operationalliabilities. <br />■ Reducin� unnecessary onerational spills. <br />6.
