Remove Culvert

This culvert is located just to the east of the locked gates upon entering the DeBeque Wildlife Area heading east. When water flows through it, it erodes the banks on the west side. and we no longer use it.

Replace Hayes Flume

Large Rocks in Narrows

Replace Hayes Flume

This project is long overdue and constantly leaking. This will also include an addition of a crosswalk across the drainage so the ditch rider can access both sides of the ditch.

Large Rocks in Narrows

Large Rocks in Narrows

Large Rocks in Narrows

The Narrows is a hilly section of the ditch between the head gate and the west end of De Beque Wildlife Area. This is mainly why we currently do not have water.
