The Selected Project <br />FMRIC plans to construct alternative U. Features of this <br />alternative are as follows: <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 />The bladder gates will have monolithic steel reinforced <br />concrete floors. These floors will be approximately 15 <br />inches thick. <br />Wing walls and support walls will all be steel reinforced <br />concrete with a minimum thickness of 15 inches. <br />The river structure will be 100 feet of Obermeyer Pneumatic <br />Spillway Gate or Bladder Gate. This gate will be 6 feet high <br />and will be located immediately adjacent to the ditch intake <br />structure. <br />The intake structure will be 30 feet of Obermeyer Pneumatic <br />Spillway Gate or Bladder Gate. This gate will be 5 feet high <br />and will be located immediately adjacent to the river <br />structure. <br />These features are shown in the preliminary set of plans found in <br />Appendix B. <br />Water Rights <br />There are approximately 15,000 acres served by FMRIC. FMRIC has <br />the right to divert up to 323 cfs from the South Platte River <br />under an original river call of October 18, 1882. Jackson Lake <br />has a storage decree for 35,629 acre feet plus refill. The <br />official name on the decree is the Fort Morgan Irrigation Company <br />with their water being diverted down the Fort Morgan Irrigation <br />Ditch. <br />As mentioned before, FMRIC has had an average annual diversion of <br />74,890 acre feet for all water diverted into FMRIC canal. Yearly <br />diversions for FMRIC would be considered fairly inconsistent. <br />Variations in these numbers correspond to seasonal variations in <br />precipitation and the introduction of new recharge rights to the <br />FMRIC system. <br />Feasibility Study <br />FMRIC <br />Diversion Structure <br />July 2012 <br />H <br />
