<br />Works of Improvement <br /> <br />be provided by Colorado Division of Wildlife and planted by the Sedgwick- <br />Sand Draws Watershed Conservancy District along the west side of the <br />floodway maintenance roadway. ,The plantings will be located within the <br />roadway fencing for protection. ' <br /> <br />The State Forester's report indicates adequate watershed fire protection <br />can be achieved in Nebraska without acceleration. However, in Colorado <br />three additional vehicles and better facil ities to house 'equipment are <br />,needed to provide the desired level of fire protection to the Sedgwick <br />and Ovid rural fire districts. Technical assistance will be provided to <br />these districts to develop district fire plans, acquire fire control <br />equipment, train personnel and conduct fire prevention programs. In <br />addition, 40 acres of tree plantings will be established on farms and <br />ranches in the Nebraska portion of the watershed. <br /> <br />Soil surveys have been completed and <br />Colorado and Deuel County, Nebraska. <br />during conservation planning. <br /> <br />published for Sedgwick County, <br />These soil surveys will be used <br /> <br />No acceleration of the rates pf application of measures or technical <br />assistance is needed for the planning and application of the land treat- <br />ment measures, except for the fire control intensification estimated at <br />$1,500 of P.l. 566 funds for Colorado. <br /> <br />__Thprp ;ore-no ;orp;os_oL.c.I"-ltJcaLsedJment.-sour:ces that a,r:e-+equJ-red to be-- <br />treated. These planned measures are expected to achieve adequate treat- <br />ment on 8,450 acres of cropland and 5,700 acres of rangeland during the <br />proJect installation period. <br /> <br />Structural Measures <br /> <br />Structural measures shown- in Table 2 were selected on the basis of the <br />most effective and economical combination to accomplish the sponsor <br />obJectives. Alternative combinations of measures, evaluation ,units, and <br />levels of protection were investigated during planning. The final <br />determination on the combination of measures to be included in the plan <br />was made by the sponsors with the agreement of the Service. <br /> <br />ProJect structural measures consist of 10 floodwater retarding struc- <br />tures, three flooclways (with 27 grade stabilization structures), three <br />grade stabilization structures, and 10 canal drop inlets. Structures are <br />planned to have a 100-year effective life. Structural data Is shown in <br />Tables 3, 3A, 3B and 3C. Selected structural measures will force the <br />relocation of nine power poles; 1700 feet of county road, and 3400 feet <br />of road right-of-way fence. Six windmills located in the flood pools of <br />SS-2, 3, 5, 7, and 8 will be modified to prevent contamination of the <br />acquifer by floodwater. <br /> <br />35 <br />
