(CLDI), located in Garfield County, has submitted an application <br />for a loan to construct a new headgate and raw water delivery pipelines to replace the existing <br />earth ditch system. They request a loan of $60,000 (75 % of the estimated total project cost of <br />$80,000). <br /> <br />The shareholders of CLDI currently divert water from the Multa Trina Ditch, approximately 5 <br />miles south of Silt. Water is delivered from the Multa Trina to the shareholders in earth ditches <br />that are in poor condition. The ditches have been eroded to depths of 6 feet in places, and <br />seepage losses make it difficult to get water to the irrigated lands. In 1996 they were short of <br />water. <br /> <br />The plan is to locate all headgates in a common structure on the Multa Trina, and install buried <br />pipelines to deliver water to the property lines of the individual shareholders. Preliminary <br />engineering design work as wefl as a Project Report have been completed by Dennis Davidson <br />the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Glenwood Springs Office. (See attached Report.) <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br /> <br />The project involves reconstruction of ditch laterals to allow efficient delivery of raw water for <br />irrigation. <br />
