Head south <br />along the BLM Canal access road and turn west at the station at the end of the <br />canal. Follow the access road to the headgate. <br />Latitude Longitude Section <br />N37 <>25'15.6" W1 05046'45.9" SW 114 S28 <br /> <br />Township <br />T37N <br /> <br />Range <br />R11E <br /> <br />Location: <br /> <br />Type: <br /> <br />Manually operated 3' wide steel slide gates (2) <br /> <br />Good D No [gI Reason Submerged: <br />Condition: Fair D Submerged: Yes N/A <br />Poor [gI D <br /> <br />Repair(s) Needed: The area upstream of the headgate is filled in and needs to be dredged out for <br />water to get to the headgate. An access road just downstream has been breached, and a large ('"W 72" <br />CMP) underneath it has been exposed. If the access road is not going to be repaired a diversion <br />dam needs to be installed to divert river flow to the headgate. <br /> <br />Upstream Configuration: The river widens out around a bend in this area, with the headgates on <br />the outermost bank of the curve. There used to be a culvet under an access road to control the <br />water level, but the access road has been breached and water can no longer get to the headgate <br />efficiently. <br /> <br />Comments: See the photo log for a view of the breached access road and exposed culvert. The <br />Chicago Ditch crosses over the access road in a steel half pipe above the headgate outlet pipes. <br /> <br />Estimated Range of Cost: Medium <br /> <br />F:\Projects\20060507\Documents\Reports\Rio Grande\lnventory Forms\New Ditch.doc <br /> <br />OA No. 2-2006-0507 <br />
