<br />Picture No. P55l.427-147, taken at approximately station 70+00, <br />,shows the canal. to be in good condition. When the canal was full of <br />water, it appeared that coarse gravel protection was needed for 75 <br />feet upstream from the. highway sign. <br /> <br />Pictures No. P551-427-148 and ,149, taken at approximately station <br />631+50, are a section that was lined by the water users.with thick <br />earth with a cover of coarse gravel in 1967. This section is in good <br />condition. <br /> <br />Pictures No. P551-427.150 and 151, taken at approximately station <br />1133+00, show a section of unlined canal. This shows a section where <br />some erosion is occurrrlng. However, most of the section has developed <br />good rock paving and is stable. Some additional coarse gravel pro- <br />tection on the curves would be desireable. <br /> <br />Pictures No. P551-427-152 and 153; taken at station 1325+00, <br />show a section of canal that was lined with 6 inches of gravelly clay. <br />The section is well armored with gravel and seems to be in good condi- <br />tion. Pictures P551-427-154 and 155, taken at station 1369+00, show <br />the same. <br /> <br />After completing the detailed inspection and seepage 10ss measure- <br />ments on the canal, Bureau of Reclamation personnel believe the canal <br />is in very good condition. Most of canal sections that have not ,been <br />lined with thick earth with gravel cover or concrete have experienced <br />some erosion, however these sections are now paved quite well with <br />. rock and have apparently stabilized. Now that t.he canal has stabilized <br />the fairly high velocity of water flow carries any silt that enters <br />the canal on through the canal. This reduces the opportunity for the <br />fine silts to seal possible leaky spots in the canal but tends to <br />reduce maintenance costs by reducing silt deposition.in the canal <br />prisDl. <br /> <br />With good maintenance in the future, the canal should operate <br />safely and satisfactorily. During the Bureau's inspection, two lists <br />of sections of the canal that were in need of maintenance were pre- <br />pared and are presenteQ in tabular form below. One list included <br />sections that needed attention this fall and next spring before the <br />1972 ii-rigation season and the second list included sections that need <br />attention during the next two years. <br /> <br />Canal sections requiring work during faIl 1971 or spring 1972: <br /> <br />Canal Stations. <br />313+35 to 31?+75 <br /> <br />Section Length (ft) <br />540 <br /> <br />'--...}. <br /> <br />Work Needed <br />% section thick earth lining <br />with grave 1 cover and more <br />freeboard <br /> <br />-.,,."'- <br /> <br />. 328+60 to 329+35 <br />.341+00 to 342+00 <br /> <br />.. 1059+73 to 1061+37 <br />1190+00 to 1191+00 <br />i <br />. ,Totals <br />I. <br />I <br />, <br /> <br />75 <br />100 <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />164 <br />100 <br /> <br />Coarse gravel protection out- <br />side bank and more freeboard <br />II <br /> <br />..615 <br /> <br />Coarse gravel protection out- <br />side bank <br />~ section thick earth lining <br />with grave 1 cover and more <br />-\' ,'''-''- bca....cl.. <br />
