The Company's diversion <br /> structure is 218-foot long rollover diversion dam that spans the width of the river. Adjacent to the dam is the <br /> Company's 40-foot canal headgate structure. Both structures were originally built in 1926. After the <br /> September 2013 flood, the river began to undermine the structures. Attempts to repair the structures with <br /> additional steel sheet piling and concrete were not successful and the undermining worsened. The Company <br /> rebuilt the diversion dam and canal headgate. Replacement of the diversion dam provides the Company with <br /> an opportunity to utilize an improved design and alleviate ongoing maintenance issues from sand accumulation <br /> within the canal. <br /> PROJECT D A T A <br /> Sponsor: Farmers Pawnee Canal County: Logan Water Source: South Platte <br /> Company River <br /> Type of Loan: Diversion Structure Board Approval Date: May 2014 <br /> Terms of Loan: $2,067,470 at 1.75% for 30 years <br /> Design Engineer: Gauthiere Engineering, Inc. <br /> Contractor: Concrete Specialties and Utilities <br /> Project Elements: Replacement of river diversion structure, replacement of ditch headgate structure <br /> installation of hydraulic bladders and controls <br /> Water Project Loan Program - Project Summary <br />
