EAST FORK MUTUAL DITCH COMPANY <br />DITCH REHABILITATION <br />Project Description <br />The EFMIC owns and operates the East Fork Ditch to deliver direct flow irrigation water <br />for the benefit of the shareholders. Water is diverted from the East Fork of Troublesome Creek, <br />located about 10 miles northeast from the Town of Kremmling. The 13-miles of ditch is open <br />channel that meanders along steep mountain slopes and open pastureland. In recent years, the <br />Company has experienced slope failures along steep canyon sections, caused by ditch flows <br />saturating the adjacent soils. This project involved piping approximately 1,0601inear feet of <br />ditch with 60-inch corrugated steel pipe, to prevent future saturation of the failed slope areas, <br />water tight neoprene bands, slope stabilization, toe drains, and headwalls. The project <br />commenced construction in September of 2003 and was completed in September of 2005. <br />Proiect Data <br />Sponsor: East Fork Mutual Ditch Co.
