Project Title: Fish Screening at the Grand Valley Project Diversion Dam, <br /> <br />II. Submitted by: Bob Norman <br />Bureau of Reclamation <br />2764 Compass Drive, Suite 106 <br />Grand Junction, CO 81506 <br />Phone (970) 248-0634 <br />FAX (970) 248-0601 <br />rnorman@uc.usbr.gov <br /> <br />III. Proj ect Summary: <br /> <br />Entrainment of native fish in the Grand Valley Project and Grand Valley Irrigation <br />Company canal systems has been documented, In response to these problems, the Upper <br />Colorado River Endangered Fish Recovery Program (Program) has identified restoration of fish <br />passage at these three dams as well as screening the Grand Valley Irrigation Company and Grand <br />Valley Project canals as important components of recovery efforts for Colorado pikeminnow and <br />razorback sucker, <br /> <br />The Program has adopted 3/32" wedge wire screening material as a standard as it <br />prevents entrainment of a wide range of fish life stages, minimizes operation and maintenance <br />problems and represents proven state-of-the,art technology. All screening and passage <br />alternatives will emphasize minimization of fish mortality and operational impacts to the canal <br />system. <br /> <br />IV, Project Schedule: <br /> <br />Due to delay caused by land ownership issues, it was not possible to start construction in <br />fall 2002, Construction is now scheduled to start in fall FY 2003, <br /> <br />V, Relationship to RIPRAP: <br />COLORADO RIVER ACTION PLAN: MAIN STEM <br />II.B.3.b.
