• The DD Ferguson Ditch (587) is downstream of Wilson Ditch (509). Ferguson is <br />on east side of stream; Wilson on the west side. <br />• DD&E is on east side of creek, downstream of Milk Creek No. 1 and irrigates <br />about 600 acres. <br />• Milk Creek Ditch (706) can get reservoir water from Wilson Reservoir (Perch <br />Pond). (not modeled) <br />• The Round Bottom ditches (749 and 751) are used for sporadic irrigation of <br />pasture (206 acres). <br />• The 555 Ditch (555) and the Juniper Mtn. Tunnel should be modeled with a <br />combined acreage of 348 acres (118 + 230). (not modeled) <br />• The Wise Ditch (2214) has only 2 cfs of transferred water but irrigates 178 acres. <br />Probably pumps in range of 5 to 10 cfs. Consider assigning a junior water right. <br />• The Maybell Canal irrigates about 1,225 acres. <br />• The Myers Ditch (720) could be included with the Maybell Canal. Otherwise <br />leave out of model. (not modeled) <br />• Maybell Mill right (695) now used for clean-up of old Maybell mill. There are no <br />return flows from this right. Now at approximately 2.23 cfs. <br />• The Mock No. 3 Ditch (828) is active. Pickup the zero diversions. <br />• The Richardson Ditch (833) diversion records should be filled with zero <br />diversions for years not used. (not modeled) <br />• The Vaughn Ditch (1122) should have zero diversions prior to 1985. <br />• The Morgan Ditch (851) has not been used for about 10 years. Started again in <br />1994. Estimated acreage is 200 acres. (not modeled) <br />After consideration of active use versus non-use, usable diversion headgates, amount of <br />acreage irrigated and magnitude of diversions (much less than 5 cfs), Kent Holt and the <br />water commissioners recommended that the following structures not be included in the <br />Yampa Model. <br />• Van Tissel (2207) <br />• Yampa Ditch (516) <br />• Stuckey (772) <br />• Clapp Ditch (575) <br />• Grant Ditch (633) <br />• Benner Ditch (857) <br />• Sullivan Seep (776) <br />• Owen Carrigan (726) <br />• Collum No. 2 (579) <br />Yampa River Basin Information 3-18 <br />
