3 of 109 <br />Introduction <br />This report is to investigate the ability of the Co-orado Cooperative Company (CCC) Highline <br />Canal Diversion to provide a steady and sufficient amount of irrigation water to adequately <br />operate three (3) - 1,280ft side roll sprinkler systems for a complete growing season when the <br />crop is alfalfa. An earlier study (03March08) by Mr. Jim Boyd from the NRCS demonstrated <br />that 1.50CFS of water or 0.50CFS per quarter mile side roll would work. Because of a <br />contractual agreement between the Morgan family and Western Fuels Colorado, only 50 shares <br />of CCC water can be considered to be available for any sprinkler system(s). If 50 shares is <br />equal to, or more than 1.50CFS, then the water quantity needed would be met. However, if 50 <br />shares equal something less than 1.50CFS, then the last side roll could not be operated until <br />sufficient water flows down the Highline Canal. It is crucial that the irrigated crop of alfalfa <br />receive the recommended quantity of water that is specified in the NRCS study to produce a <br />vigorous yearly crop tonnage. Since the field and crop being considered is on reclaimed Prime <br />Farmland Soil, three cutting should be a reasonable expectation. <br />Bases of this Study: <br />The following records on page 10-45 came from the Colorado Division of Water Resource Web <br />Page: http://cdss.state.co.us/DNNNiewData/StructuresDiversion/rabid/75/Default.aspx <br />1. Select "Division 4-Gunnison" <br />2. Select "Highline Canal" for search parameter <br />3. Once. "Highline Canal...San Miguel River" comes up. Then select the type of <br />report and dates you wish. <br />4. Highline Canal Diversion is the, same as the Colorado Cooperative Company <br />Ditch. <br />5. Units are in CFS and measured at the Highline Canal (CCC Ditch) Head Gate <br />6. Mr. Dean Naslund, CCC Superintendent said to use a 12% loss of water to get <br />the flow to the "Park". <br />7. Flow numbers to Morgan were rounded up/down to nearest hundredth of a CFS. <br />An allowance of 4 days off per 30 days were allowed to better match Jim Boyd's <br />
