Here are the tasks Kent Gorham <br />and I believe should be addressed: <br />A. Section l5, T31S, R65W <br />Remove Pond i~-P1 and Diversions l5-DI and 15-D3; Restore Natural Drainage <br />Pattern <br />~~~~~ <br />DEPARTMENT OF <br />NATURAL <br />RESOURCES <br />Rov Romer <br />Governor <br />lames 5. Lochhead <br />E.ecwive Director <br />Michael B. Lony <br />Division Director <br />Pond 15-P1 (see map) has silted in due Io receiving diverted runoff from a large <br />drainage located west of the pond. This runoff is being diverted to the pond via <br />Diversion Ditches IS-D1 and 15-D3. The .spillway for this pond was repaired a <br />few years ago, but has since washed out again. The pond and the two diversion <br />ditches need w be removed, and the naturai drainage routed through Ccunty Road <br />Bridge C-5. <br />Restore Natural Drainage West of Ponds 15-P1 and :5-P2 <br />Once Diversion Ditches 15-D1 and 15-D3 are removed, the natural pattern of the <br />drainage channel west of Ponds 15-P1 and IS-P2 will need to be restored. There <br />appear to be three possible paths that this restored drainage could follow. The <br />most likely would be through County Road Culvert C-6. Other paths could be <br />through County Road Bridge C-7 or through Pond 15-P2. <br />Since TBM was permitted, a private road (red dashed line on map) has been <br />constructed across the old drainage channel. Restoring the drainage may require <br />installation of one or two culverts under this private road. This work would need <br />[o be coordinated with the local property owners. <br />Routing the returned drainage through County Road Culver[ C-6 may require <br />removal and replacement of this old culvert with one or two new ones as well. <br />This work would need to be coordinated with Las Animas County. <br />
