PROJECT INFORMATION:
The Wheatland Irrigation District received a loan and grant appropriation of $475,000 for eligible
project expenses. The purpose of the project is to repair the breach of the Sand Lake Dam, armor
the spillway, install a telemetry monitoring system at Sand Lake, repair the Dutton Creek Reservoir
outlet pipe, replace Dutton Canal concrete lining, stabilize the Cañon Canal slide area, install
concrete lining in Cañon Canal along I-80, replace and install check and turnout structures and
install appurtenances as necessary.
The engineer has essentially completed design of both the Sand Lake improvements and the Dutton
Canal rehabilitation. Dutton Canal should proceed with construction in the spring of 2001. Sand
Lake is on hold pending permitting, particularly Endangered Species Act consultation.
Construction of the various project components is likely to extend over several years.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
No legislative action is recommended.
