Upper Platte & Beaver Canal Company Agenda Item 23a
July 2, 2014

An all-weather access road will be installed on the north side of the Brush Lateral running from
Hospital Road to the inlet structure.
Headgate Bridge. The headgate of the canal includes a bridge that enables crossing of the
canal. This bridge is approximately 36 feet long and enables material to be hauled from one
side of the canal to the other during routine maintenance exercises. The bridge is presently too
narrow for the maneuvering of trucks for hauling, hindering ditch maintenance. Enlargement of
the Headgate Bridge is planned to expand the width by twelve feet for truck passage to meet
current and projected operation and maintenance demands.
Schedule: Final design and construction of the augmentation pond is targeted for completion by fall of
2014, but special use permit negotiations with the City of Fort Morgan have the potential to delay
completion for another few months. Design and construction of the bridge widening is targeted for the
fall of 2014 or spring of 2015, when irrigation schedules permit.
