<br />Platte River. The existing structure suffered severe damage in 1998 and again iri 1999, when the river cut around the
<br />south abutment, nearly establishing a new river channel that bypasses the existing diversion structure entirely. This
<br />condition created an emergency $60,000 repair to construct a new diversion dike to redirect the river back towards the
<br />existing diversion structure headgate. The Irrigation Company has retained the services of G.A.S.P., out of Fort Morgan,
<br />to prepare the final design plans and specifications to construct a new concrete diversion structure, utilizing Obermeyer
<br />pneumatic gates and a radial flush gate. Construction is tentatively scheduled to commence in NovemberlDecember of
