Site # 9- Stewart Ditch Diversion


Site Plan- 1305 KB

Location - SW ¼ Section 15, T13S, R91W, 6th PM
Latitude 38o55'51" Longitude 107o32'35"
USGS Bowie Quadrangle

Approximately 4.5 miles east of Hwy 187 along the south side of Hwy 133.

Identified Problem - Fish habitat loss due to the existing ditch diversion. The existing diversion uses a bulldozer to construct an annual gravel push-up dam. Needs to be replace with a permanent concrete headgate and boulder weir.

Approximately ¼ mile of the channel needs to be rehabilitated. This would restore approximately 15 acres.

Landowners- Stewart Ditch, DLH, CDOT
