<br />. <br /> <br />Feasibility of the Emergency Rehabilitation <br />of the <br />Riverside Reservoir & Land Company Diversion Structure <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Project Sponsor <br /> <br />The Riverside Reservoir and Land Company (RRLC) is a Colorado <br />mutual ditch and reservoir company and a non-profit corporation. <br />Articles of Incorporation are included in Appendix A. The RRLC <br />never adopted any Bylaws for their corporation. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The RRLC was formed in April 1902 to construct and operate <br />Riverside Reservoir and the Riverside Canal for the benefit of <br />the shareholders. The RRLC was incorporated in 1904. The RRLC <br />currently has 103 shareholders with 2505 shares of stock. The <br />Company can divert 1000.0 cubic feet of water per second of time <br />from the South Platte River, at a headgate located about 4 miles <br />East of Kersey, Colorado. From this headgate, the RRLC has had <br />an average annual diversion of 111,000 acre feet or approximately <br />44 acre feet per share. <br /> <br />Project Service Area <br /> <br />The service area is located primarily in Morgan County, from <br />about 18 miles West of Fort Morgan to about 18 miles East of Fort <br />Morgan. Although RRLC water is not tied to specific irrigated <br />lands, the service area is located on the North side of the South <br />Platte River in Morgan County. The RRLC system utilizes two <br />reservoirs to service its shareholders. Riverside Reservoir is <br />located in Weld County at the beginning of the RRLC system and is <br />the largest to the two reservoirs. Vancil Reservoir is the <br />smaller reservoir located towards the end of the RRLC system in <br />Eastern Morgan County. The RRLC service area irrigates on the <br />average 50,000 acres. The water is typically used to irrigate <br />corn, alfalfa, beans, and sugar beets. The elevation is 4543 <br />feet.
