<br />e <br /> <br />Silt Water Conservancv District - Colorado River Diversion Structure <br />Authorization: 98-Small Project Loan Account County: Garfield - S. of Silt <br />Water Source: Colorado River Project Yield: 13,602 ac. ft. <br />Terms of Loan: $100,000 @3.75% for 20 years Project Type: Diversion Structure <br /> <br />The Grand River Canal diversion structure is located on the Colorado River, <br />approximately 1.5 miles southeast from the Town of Silt. Water is diverted into the existing <br />structure by means of a 600-ft. long earthernlgravel embankment that extends across tI1e <br />Colorado River. Under its present configuration, the earthern diversion dike is extremely <br />vulnerable to seasonal flooding and is routinely rebuilt on an annual basis. To eliminate this <br />annual maintenance and environmental problem, the selected improvement is to construct a new <br />$175,000 concrete diversion and headgate structure approximately 1000-ft. upstream of the <br />existing diversion structure. The irrigation water would then be conveyed in a 42" HDPE low <br />head irrigation pipe for approximately 940-ft. to the existing canal. The project was designed by <br />the NRCS Glenwood Springs office and the construction contract was awarded to Meldor <br />Construction, Breckenridge, Colorado. Construction commenced in February 2000, and is <br />approximately 95% complete. The project is scheduled for completion in June of2000. <br /> <br />Palisade.
