2003 LEGISLATIVE REPORT
Active Projects

PROJECT INFORMATION:
The proposed project includes rehabilitation of Tunnel 3 and Tunnel 4 on the Casper Canal. These tunnels are concrete lined with concrete transitions to the earthen canal. Cracking and deterioration of the concrete lining and transitions resulting in heaves and voids are the primary items to correct. These tunnels are relatively high in the water delivery system and are therefore extremely important to the irrigators to keep in service. The proposed project would help assure water delivery to the irrigators and keep the irrigation district in good standing with the US Bureau of Reclamation, which owns the facilities. The project has been estimated to cost approximately $170,000.

RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
The WWDC recommends the project be incorporated in the Rehabilitation Program at Level III with an appropriation of $170,000. The financing plan is a 50% grant, $85,000 and a 50% loan, $85,000, amortized over thirty years at 6.00% interest.
