Floodwaters overtopped the headgate structure and entered the ditch resulting in <br /> significant sedimentation and the weakening of ditch banks. During the 2014 snowmelt high-water runoff, <br /> uncontrolled waters again entered the ditch causing additional sedimentation and ditch bank breaches. <br /> Construction crews repaired the breaches and removed sand from the ditch channel and upstream river <br /> channel. The first phase was the immediate clean out following the September 2013 flood event and the <br /> second phase was the clean out and breach repair following the spring 2014 snowmelt runoff. <br /> P R O J E C T D A T A <br /> Sponsor: Sterling Irrigation County: Logan Water Source: South Platte <br /> Company River <br /> Type of Loan: Ditch Rehabilitation Board Approval Date: September 2014 <br /> Terms of Loan: $101,000 @ 1.50% for 10 years <br /> Design Engineer: NA <br /> Contractor: Ransom Boone Excavating <br /> Project Elements: Remove sedimentation and repair ditch breaches caused by flooding. <br /> Water Project Loan Program - Project Summary <br />
