Phase I was completed under the supervision of the NRCS in the summer of <br />1994. The company plans to complete phase 2 in the spring of 1995 before the irrigation season. <br />The ditch, which has a capacity of 26 cfs, is used to irrigate 403 acres near Meeker in Rio Blanco _ <br />County. _ <br /> <br />2 <br />
