DESCRIPTION

The project objective is to repair the headgate at the Skyline Ditch diversion and pipe the delivery ditch in a high water loss area. The present headgate is essentially inoperable and canal level is presently controlled by overflow channels and tail water dumping back into the Chewuch River. As soon as headgate repairs are completed in 1999, overflow water dumping will be eliminated which will immediately reduce diversion by 20%. Current fish screen was installed by WDFW in 1927 and maintained by the WDFW under an annual maintenance agreement. The present screen is inadequate and is "taking" ESA listed fish species because of high approach velocities and large screen mesh size. By repairing the headgate, Skyline Ditch Company will reduce flows by 20% to mitigate this "take" until a new screen is installed. In order to continue ditch operations and avoid "take" of endangered steelhead, spring chinook and bull trout, a fish screen must be funded and installed as soon as possible. This will not take place until the headgate is repaired and flows are controlled.
