2001 LEGISLATIVE REPORT
Active Projects

PROJECT INFORMATION:
The Goshen Irrigation District received a grant appropriation of $1,726,000 for 100% of invoiced materials purchase for materials to automate the water delivery system, rehabilitate farm turnouts, and implement seepage control measures, such as canal lining and placing ditches into pipe. Generally the construction will be performed with district resources at district cost. Engineering, permitting, and other project costs will be borne by the district.

When constructed, the improvements will reduce seepage losses in canals and laterals and enable GID to better account for water spilled back to the North Platte, precipitation gains, runoff into the canals, and deliveries to the Gering Fort Laramie Irrigation District in Nebraska.

Design of the highest priority ditches to be placed into pipe and the first automation locations was completed in the fall of 2000. Pipe and other materials were procured and construction is underway. The district has provided a schedule of improvements for design and materials procurement purposes for the next three years. Construction should be completed prior to the 2004 irrigation season.

RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
No legislative action is recommended.
