<br /> -2- .. <br /> . <br />Proiect DescriDtion . <br />Three alternatives were analyzed in the feasibility study: <br />1. No Action <br />2. Rehabilitate the head gate structure and place the ditch in pipeline and provide a piped <br /> drainage system ($267,900) <br />3. Rehabilitate the head gate structure and the concrete ditch. <br />Alternative 3, Rehabilitate the head gate structure and the concrete ditch, would solve the seepage <br />problems, but would leave an open ditch with the associated hazards and maintenance problems. <br />For these reasons is was ruled out. Alternative 2, Rehabilitate the head gate structure and place the <br />ditch in pipeline and provide a piped drainage system, is a full rehabilitation of the lateral, resolving <br />all existing maintenance and hazard issues. This alternative is feasible and is considered the <br />preferred alternative by the members. The no-action alternative was considered unacceptable since <br />it would leave the members short of water and dealing with the high maintenance costs associated <br />with a deteriorated ditch system. <br />Selected Alternative 2 consists of construction ofa new head gate on the GVIC Main Line, and <br />placement of 16,850 feet of open ditch in pressurized plastic pipeline. The system will be <br />rehabilitated in two phases. Phase 1 will consist orthe head gate and the upper portion of the <br />lateral. Phase 2 will consist of the lower portion of the lateral. The new system will have a capacity <br />of 5 cfs, and taps will be provided for individual water users. A piped drainage system will also be <br />constructed to solve flooding problems. This alternative will solve the problems of seepage and <br />flooding, as well as provide salinity control. The pressurized taps will add value for the individual <br />water users. . <br />The implementation schedule calls for completion of financing arrangements in winter-spring 2002. <br />Final engineering design for Phase 1 will be completed in January 2002, and construction will be <br />completed by April 15, 2002. Final engineering design for Phase 2 will be completed in summer <br />2002, and construction is scheduled to be completed fall 2002. <br />Financial Analvsis <br />The total estimated cost of the project is $267,900 (including engineering costs).
