<br />. <br /> <br />irrigated cannot be served by wells. This acreage would revert <br /> <br /> <br />to dry land farming and crop production would be significantly <br /> <br /> <br />reduced. <br /> <br />CURRENT STATUS <br /> <br />In November, 1980, the Beeman Irrigation Ditch and Milling <br /> <br /> <br />Company and the Meadow Island Ditch Company No.2 jointly submit- <br /> <br /> <br />ted an application to the CWCB for assistance in replacing their <br /> <br /> <br />diversion dam on the South Platte River. Subsequently, and <br /> <br /> <br />through joint funding by the Board and the companies, a feasi- <br /> <br /> <br />bility study was completed by Howard Noble & Associates, an <br /> <br /> <br />engineering firm in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. Several alternate <br /> <br /> <br />designs were considered by the engineer for this project. <br /> <br />PROPOSEO PROJECT <br /> <br />The project as proposed by the engineer would replace the <br />existing wooden diversion dam with a reinforced concrete <br />structure. The new structure would utilize the same design <br />concept as the old one except for the materials specified. The <br />new structure will improve operation safety, make maintenance <br /> <br /> <br />easier, and perform all of the other functions of the existing <br /> <br /> <br />dam. The estimated cost of this project is $217,000. The <br /> <br /> <br />benefit/cost ratio is 2.4:1. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />-2- <br />
