March 2006 RCCD C peer Yumpu l~~ser Barin Implementation Plan • 21 <br />5.0 PROJECTS SELECTED FOR IMPLEMENTATION <br />This section describes the projects selected for unplementation and includes the identification of <br />responsible parties, descriptions of major tasks, listing of required resources, budget estimates, <br />funding sources, and an implementation schedule. In addition, this section discusses an approach to <br />re-visiting and updating the 208 Plan anct this Insplementation Plan on a regular basis. For each project, <br />the following general information is presented: <br />• Project Description <br />• Management Team/Project Partners <br />• Major Project Tasks <br />• Required Resources <br />• Project Budget Estimates <br />• Potential Funding Sources <br />• Implementation Schedule <br />5.1 HEADGATE SURVEY <br />Project Description: A comprehensive headgate survey would be conducted in the Upper Yampa <br />Basin to gather information regarding existing headgates and streambank/stream conditions in the <br />vicinity of the headgates. Those headgates requiring repair/replacement would be identified in a <br />summary technical report. The ultimate goal of this project would be to reduce erosional release <br />associated with headgate operation, reduce streambank erosion, and increase efficiency of water <br />conveyance and use. <br />'This project would entail a detailed survey of the headgates in Routt County. It would involve <br />gathering, organizing, and reviewing existing data from the local office of the Colorado Division of <br />Water Resources (CD~`UR) and the IJSFS, as well as field visits/interviews with the ~~(/ater <br />Commissioners, RCCD Board member:>, and NRCS. Headgates for which data are not available <br />~,vould be field located with a Global Positioning System (GPS) and locations would be recorded <br />using GIS. Headgates and streambanks would be photographed and field notes taken indicating the <br />general conditions of the headgate, irrigation ditch, streambanks, floodplain, and stream. am- <br />indications of erosion and sediment release would be noted. an overall upper basin map would be <br />developed, showing the locations of headgates. a database would be prepared indicating the <br />].ieadgate location, construction date, construction materials, general headgate condition, streambank <br />condition, comments, and general recommendations. A technical report would be prepared <br />summarizing headgates needing to be repaired/replaced. <br />Management Team/Project Partners: RCCD; NRCS; CD~~'R; Routt Counr<-; Colorado <br />association of Conservation Districts (CaCD), UYWCD <br />Major Project Tasks: Major tasks include the fallo~~7ng: <br />• • Acquire funding. <br />RCCU * 1~lZi Pate Grow Rourl, .Surle 20/: I * S~le~unhorr6.S%~rrrr~r, CO S'0~87 * (9i0) di')-322 <br />
