It was approved October 31, 1994 and went into effect January 1, <br />195. .~ <br />WFC's SWMP was fully implemented in 1995, with all ditches, sediment ponds, and clear water <br />diversion ditches designed and constructed to handle a 2.0 inch, 25yr - 24hr rainfall event. <br />These designs and structures were submitted to and approved by Colorado Division of Minerals <br />and Geology.
