8.0 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION <br /> The replacement of the spillway structure is critical to future reliable operation of the Las <br /> Animas Consolidated canal to irrigate more than 8,000 acres of farm land in Bent County. <br /> The preferred alternative, the overshot gate with new spillway and slide gates, is considered <br /> the most long-term reliable design with modern features able to mitigate future flooding <br /> while enhancing canal operations. The financing plan provided in Appendix E indicates that <br /> the project is viable and can be repaid by the Company. <br /> September 2014 Draft <br /> Page 119 <br />
