2 IRRIGATION REHABILITATION PROGRAM 2015/2016 STATUS REPORT Prepared by Irrigation Secretariat Lethbridge, Alberta January 2017

3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Beau Hay of Alberta Agriculture and Forestry s Basin Water Management Section provided much of the information contained in this report as part of Mr. Hay s monitoring of the construction activities of the irrigation districts. We greatly appreciate and acknowledge the significant assistance provided by Mr. Hay in the completion of this report.

4 ABSTRACT This annual Irrigation Rehabilitation Program (IRP) Status Report summarizes the expenditures and status of all IRP projects that were active during the construction period. The IRP began in 1969 and is a cost shared program between Alberta Agriculture and Forestry and Alberta s irrigation districts. Since 1969 funding levels have varied between $600,000 and $33,400,000 per year. The 2015 funding allocations are shown in Table 1. The provincial/irrigation district cost share ratio has varied since 1969, starting at 86 province - 14 irrigation district, changing to in 1994/95 and to in 1995/96 and remains at that ratio today. Irrigation Rehabilitation Financing Agreements are prepared annually between the Minister and each irrigation district. s must be approved by Irrigation Council prior to any project costs being paid for with cost shared funds, and all eligible project expenditures must be documented by Progress Certificates. Circumstances may arise that require an irrigation district to change project priorities from time to time. As well, actual costs may differ from estimated costs because of various circumstances, i.e. poor working conditions due to weather, construction cost inflation, etc. Information contained in this report was gathered from random monitoring (field visits) of project construction sites, records from the Basin Water Management Section and the Irrigation Secretariat and information from irrigation district personnel. The IRP funding is provided to the districts according to an inter-district allocation formula. 3
