Voigt Lower Clear Creek Diversion
The Voigt Lower Clear Creek Diversion Project replaced an existing push-up dam with a new rock grade control diversion structure.
The push-up diversion dam was created by a row of boulders, boards and plastic, and was the main structure to elevate the water surface sufficiently to satisfy the irrigation water right. The diversion had poor fish passage at periods of low flows.
