1. Install four headgates on irrigation ditches: We propose to install headgates at the four known diversion sites that do not have adequate facilities. a. Complete engineering surveys and design drawings: Under an existing agreement with the Grant Soil and Water Conservation District, the Tribes secure annual engineering services for the construction of water conservation projects. The GSWCD has extensive experience implementing these types of projects and will be contracted to survey and design the headgate systems on the Oxbow. b. Prepare, solicit bids, and administer a subcontract for headgate construction. 2. Plant trees and shrubs within the riparian areas. The Tribes currently administer a contract with the Monument Nursery to provide native, local plant materials. Trees and shrubs from this nursery will be used on the ranch. 3. Complete remediation of 105 acres of leveled tailing piles including solicitation of bids, preparation and administration of the subcontract, and oversight of the construction activities (all of the pre-construction planning for this task was approved and funded in the FY2001).
