. Except for the year 200 I, the JPSP has consistently exercised the Martin Cull storage right, filling the reservoir during the winter, spring and early summer months and then discharging the water during the irrigation season. Project Description and Alternatives . The purpose of this project is to provide a means for JPSP to continue to provide irrigation water to it's property situated downstream of the reservoir and dam, Five alternatives have been analyzed in this feasibility study, L No Action 2, Reconstruct the upstream face of the embankment, line the outlet pipe and replace the inlet structure for the outlet pipe, ($250,000 estimated) 3. Reconstruct the upstream face of the embankment, stabilize the downstream face of the embankment and replace the exiting/damaged outlet structure with a new structure, ($300,000 estimated) 4, Reconstruct the upstream face of the embankment, stabilize the downstream face of the embankment, replace the exiting/damaged outlet structure with a new structure, raise the embankment by 2 to 4 feet and modifY the existing concrete structure in the spillway so that the high water level in the reservoir can be increased by approximately 5 feet, ($330,000 estimated) 5, Complete dam reconstruction, ($1,100,000 estimated) Alternative No.1 was considered unacceptable since it means the JPSP could not stare provide irrigation water to its property situated downstream of the reservoir and dam, . Alternative No.2 was considered unacceptable since the existing embankment was constructed with a very steep downstream embankment slope, which does not meet the current state standards for this type of structure, In addition, the lining of the existing, 50+ year old steel outlet pipe will only prolong the life of the pipe by 10 to 20 years, thus requiring the removal and replacement of the pipe sometime in the future, Alternative No, 3, which consists of reconstructing the upstream face of the embankment, bringing the downstream face of the embankment to a more stable configuration and replacing the existing outlet structure and pipe with a new structure has been submitted and approved by the State of Colorado - Office of the State Engineer, This is presently the preferred alternative along with the modifications outlined in Alternate No, 4, This alternative will provide the owner with a stable embankment, which should increase the design life of the structure by at least 50 years and allow for the modifications outlined below for Alternative No, 4 to be completed in a timely manner if they are approved by the State Engineer's office, .
