Bosley Wash Drainage Master Plan 1 ~",..,,~ '_T', ~ --"" l likelihood of overflows and flooding downstream all the way to the UPRRlHighway 6 Phase 2: Alternative Drainage Facility Evaluation embankment. This will serve a multitude of properties. Improvements along the Stub Ditch serve the same function; that is reducing the out of channel and overland flood hazard. Improvements at the UPRRlHighway 6 crossing should be the next priority for structural investments. Property acquisition is something that should be done soon, but should consider the economic climate. The intention is to secure the property at a reasonable cost before development pressures increase the cost and render the alternative less feasible. It is recommended that the property be secured prior to significant changes in its value. Options other than outright purchase exist. For example, if development is proposed along either of those sites, it may be possible to encourage the developer Lo dedicate the land for these facilities in lieu of other investments. 5.3 Funding options Funding of the implementation of the recommended plan presents considerable challenges. The County has limited resources to address this and other problems within the County. The GJDD does have a financing mechanism, but its' resources are limited and unlikely to be able to satisfy the needs of this plan. Other mechanisms do exist for the implementation of these improvements. One option discussed at the public meeting is the creation of a local or special improvement district. In this scenario, the residents of the area, recognizing the need for improvements, assess themselves a fee to implement these improvements. The specifics of the establishment of such a district is beyond the scope of this study, but can be ascertained through the County. It is recommended that the Bureau of Reclamation be contacted regarding contribution to the implementation of this plan. The improvements along the Stub Ditch, and particularly the drainage channel along the ditch, have been identified as a major contributor to the ,flooding downstream. It maybe possible to solicit their contribution to the correction of these deficiencies. ,',,': ,--'--'- --- - : '. .:........" ,,~----"-"" "-~,"",----'~-'- - - ._~ -_./..- f-,:."'::.}:.i_';:~;:f]!.~( ;''';' ~;,:\,ci,\;~ (if) Page 24 /,-,,\ ~ !ill.
