<br />Delta Canal Company <br />May 20.21. 2002 <br /> <br />Agenda Item 12a. <br />(Updated May 23. 2002) <br /> <br />Proiect Description <br />Three alternatives were analyzed in the feasibility study: <br /> <br />1. No Action <br />2. Rehabilitate 6,030 feet of canal by lining it with concrete ($144,200) <br />3. Rehabilitate 8,250 feet of canal by lining it with concrete ($192,000) <br /> <br />Alternative 3, Rehabilitate 8,250 feet of canal by lining it with concrete ($192,000), would solve <br />all seepage problems, but was not financially feasible for this small ditch cornpany. Alternative <br />2, Rehabilitate 6,030 feet of canal by fining it with concrete ($144,200), consists of rehabilitation <br />of the critical portion of the canal, and would resolve the most serious maintenance and hazard <br />issues. This alternative is feasible and is considered the preferred alternative by the Company. <br />The no-action alternative was considered unacceptable since it would leave the Company to <br />deal with the high maintenance costs associated with a deteriorated ditch system. <br /> <br />Selected Alternative 2 consists of lining 6,030 linear feet of existing canal, rebuilding 8 <br />driveway crossing bridges, and installing 9 headgates for individual water users. A control <br />structure will be built at the head of the new concrete ditch, to spill excess water back to the <br />Uncompahgre River. The new system will have a capacity of 20 cfs. This alternative will solve <br />the problems of seepage and bank sloughing along county road 1600, and will provide safety <br />and salinity control. <br /> <br />The implementation schedule calls for completion of financing arrangements in spring-summer <br />2002. Final engineering design will be completed in summer 2002, and construction will start in <br />fall 2002. Construction will be completed by spring 2003. <br /> <br />Financial Analysis <br />The total estimated cost of the project is $144,200 (including engineering costs). Funding <br />sources are shown in Table 1: <br /> <br />Table 1: Pro'ect Fundin Sources <br /> <br /> <br />Construction Phase <br />Grant <br />$11,600 <br /> <br />$57,600' <br />$69,200 <br /> <br />Loan <br /> <br />$75,000' <br /> <br />$75,000 <br /> <br /> <br />Permanent Financin Phase <br />$11,600 <br />$92,800* <br /> <br />$104,400 <br /> <br />$39,800* <br />$39,800 <br /> <br />*When construction is complete, the Company will receive $92,800 in NRCS cost share. These <br />funds will be used to pay all outstanding construction costs, and to reduce the CWCS loan <br />amount to approximately $40,000. <br /> <br /> <br />2 <br />
