* DNR ; COLORADO Emergency Diversion Structure and Ditch Repair <br /> 4jCO Colorado Water <br /> ? I Conservation Board Louden Irrigating Canal a Reservoir Company <br /> Substantially Complete July 1, 2016 <br /> 1.101, s <br /> / �� ` +t. <br /> iav ht , <br /> • <br /> 3•• <br /> • <br /> ^ 4 <br /> If <br /> Project Description <br /> During the unprecedented flood of September 2013 in the tributaries to the South Platte River, a <br /> significant number of diversion structures and dams along the river corridor were damaged, including <br /> the Company's river diversion. The ditch was diverting water as the September storm started. As the <br /> flood progressed, the headgates could not be safely reached for operations. Water overtopped the <br /> headgate structure by at least 4 feet resulting in damage to the headgate and ditch system. The first <br /> 3,000 feet of the ditch were totally filled with silt and debris. The ditch breached back to the river in <br /> two places and undercutting caused slides that threatened the ditch. Construction work included <br /> cleaning out the ditch, rebuilding the ditch with concrete blocks, rebuilding the service road, and <br /> cleaning and rehabilitating the diversion headgates. The work was completed in time to deliver water <br /> by the 2014 irrigation season. Remaining funds were left available should additional repairs be <br /> necessary. However, those items were ultimately paid using Company cash. <br /> PROJECT DATA <br /> Sponsor: Louden Irrigating County: Larimer Water Source: Big Thompson <br /> Canal Ft Reservoir Company <br /> Type of Loan: Ditch Rehabilitation Board Approval Date: May 2014 <br /> Loan Terms: (Original) $161,600 @ 2.70% for 30 years (Final) $126,250 @ 2.70% for 30 years <br /> Design Engineer: Telesto Solutions, Inc <br /> Contractor: Lee Nauta, John Moen <br /> Project Elements: Ditch and headgate cleanout from flood debris and sediment. <br /> Water Project Loan Program - Project Summary <br />
