Jack Creek/Indian Creek Update and Fall Construction Projects

The Jack Creek and Indian Creek culvert replacement projects are nearing completion. The Jack Creek culvert is installed and the creek is now running through the culvert. The road portion (paving and guardrail) will not be complete until the end of the month.

The Coleman Creek Irrigation Modification Project bids were received last week. A construction contract will be executed next week with the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. That project is expected to begin in mid October. It involves removal of the existing dam and installation of rock weirs and a fish screen. The new diversion configuration will include automated gates and telemetry for the water measuring devices.
The Manastash Restoration Project make a significant leap this fall. The Barnes Road Fish Screen project will begin construction on October 5th. That project is contracted by the District and includes a fish ladder, a fish screen and water measuring equipment with telemetry and automated gates. The MWDA/Consolidated diversion fish screen structure will also be constructed this fall. That project is contracted directly by BPA through HDR and includes a fish screen, rock weirs for fish passage, and water measuring equipment with telemetry and automated gates.
