JACKSON DITCH COMPANY <br />CHECK DAM REHABILITATION PROJECT <br />Project Description <br />The Jackson Ditch Company is responsible for the average annual delivery of 5,500 AF of irrigation <br />water to its 75 shareholders. This project was for the rehabilitation of the check dam structure on the <br />Cache la Poudre River. The river splits and flows around an island just upstream of the Company's <br />diversion headgate. When flows are particularly low the structure is utilized to convey flows to the <br />east side of the island where they can be diverted through the headgate. The concrete check dam had <br />been in place since the 1960's, but has recently fallen into disrepair, preventing the Company from <br />diverting its most senior water rights at times. The project provides a long -term, low maintenance <br />solution for restoring the ability to deliver water to shareholders during times of extreme river <br />conditions. Construction was completed in the summer of 2012. <br />Project Data <br />Sponsor: Jackson Ditch Company <br />County: Larimer <br />Water Source: Cache la Poudre River <br />Substantial Completion: July 1, 2012 <br />Terms of Loan: $124,533 ($112,958 drawn) for 30 years @ 3.60% <br />Design Engineer: Andek Consulting, Fort Collins, CO <br />Contractor: Connell Resources, Inc., Fort Collins, CO <br />Project Elements: 53 CY concrete check dam structure and footing with steel control gate <br />
