Fish Creek. <br />• Williams Park Ditch (623) receives tailwater directly from the Highland Ditch <br />(544). <br />• Gibraltar Ditch is all of north side of river down to Erwin Ditch. Last 10 years of <br />diversion records are not too bad. <br />• Marshall Roberts ditch. Much surface returns directly to the Williams and Walker <br />ditches (below headgate. Ten years ago, expanded acreage (+600 acres). The <br />increased acreage is reflected in the division engineers' database. <br />• Shelton Ditch gets a lot of water from the Walker Ditch (tailwater). <br />• Neither the Cary or Brock get much tailwater directly from upstream ditches. <br />• The following structures have minimal use, no record or have washed out: West <br />Side Ditch (612); JOK Ditch (549); Spencer (1034); Corliss (515); Sage Creek <br />Ditch (585); Utterback Enlarge.(675); Nofstger (575); Emrich Feeder (533).

Werner WWTP is just downstream of Duquette Ditch <br />(near Steamboat II). Some land treatment. Talk to Gilbert Anderson. <br />• Because of non-use, poor records or diversions much less than 5 cfs, the <br />following structures were recommended for removal from the CDSS: Fry System <br />(653); Harris Miller (678); Look Waste Ditch (746); Look Seepage Ditch (743); <br />Altman (1095); North-South Ditch (799); Gumprecht Wilkens Seep <br />(986)Kernaghan (716); Metcalf (774); Stuckey (889/892); Bishop-Ratcliff (542); <br />Yampa River Basin Information 3-16 <br />
