<br />. <br /> <br />The first portion of the river structure will he a 10 foot <br />radial gate. This gate will be 6 feet high and will be <br />located immediately adjacent to the ditch intake gates. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />The second portion of the river structure will be 120 feet <br />of Obermeyer Pneumatic Spillway Gate or Bladder Gate. This <br />gate will be 6 feet high and will be located immediately <br />adjacent to the new radial gate. <br /> <br />These features are shown in the preliminary set of plans found in <br />Appendix B. <br /> <br />Water Rights <br /> <br />There are 103 shareholders in the RRLC with rights to divert up <br />to 1000.0 cfs from the South Platte River under an original river <br />call of April 1, 1902. The RRLC has storage decrees for 57,507 <br />acre feet plus refill. The official name on the decree is the <br />RIVERSIDE RESERVOIR AND LAND COMPANY with their water being <br />diverted down the RIVERSIDE RESERVOIR INLET DITCH. <br /> <br />The RRLC diverted a total of 123,959 acre feet in 1996, 104,785 <br />acre feet in 1997, and 112,917 acre feet in 1998, according to <br />State Engineer records. The average diversion for the past 10 <br />years is 111,000 acre feet. Yearly diversions for the RRLC would <br />be considered fairly inconsistent. Variations in these numbers <br />correspond to the amount of rainfall during the irrigation <br />season. More rainfall in a certain year meant that less water had <br />to be diverted into the reservoir and vice versa. The S.E.O. <br />diversion records are found in Appendix C. <br /> <br />Cost Estimate <br /> <br />The estimated total project cost is $450,000.
