<br />~he Seleoted Project <br /> <br />The LDC plans to construct alternative #3. Features of this <br />alternative are as follows: <br /> <br />Two mechanical lift gates will be constructed. Each gate <br />will be approximately 20 feet in length and four feet in <br />height. <br /> <br />Three sections of concrete rollover wall will be <br />constructed. Each section will be approximately 20 feet in <br />length and five feet in height. <br /> <br />A new concrete floor will be constructed under the gates and <br />rollover sections. The floor will be six inches thick <br />through the center and flared toward the edge. <br /> <br />Sheet piling will be placed along the upstream edge of the <br />project to prevent under currents from eroding under the new <br />improvements. <br /> <br />These features are shown in the preliminary set of plans found in <br />Appendix A. <br /> <br />Water Riqhts <br /> <br />There are 14 shareholders in the LDC with rights to divert 39.9 <br />cfs from the South Platte River under an 1882 decree. The <br />official name on the decree is the LOWLINE DITCH COMPANY with <br />their water being diverted down the LOWLINE DITCH. The LDC <br />diverts on average approximately 6,650 acre feet of water per <br />year through their ditch. <br /> <br />Feasibility Study <br />towline Ditch Company <br />Diversion Structure <br />March 2003 <br /> <br />5 <br />
