![]() ![]() Army Corps of Engineers, Sacramento District, Colorado West Regulatory Branch Regulatory Project Manager, Regulatory Division ![]() Natural washes are under the jurisdiction of the Army Corp of Engineers and the maintenance of the wash is the responsibility of the property owner. I have a “Natural Wash” going through my property. It reminds everyone not to dump pollutants in this system because the water returns directly to the Colorado River. The pipeline is a storm and drainage system. The “Fish Lid” tells everyone that the waters in this system return to the Colorado River. Under the Clean Water Act, pipes that carry unfiltered water back to rivers and streams are to be identified. I see an iron manhole lid with a fish on it. These lids are used by many different maintenance people for all types of underground facilities. Most manhole lids manufactured locally have the word “SEWER” on them, regardless of the utility it’s being used for. I see an iron manhole lid and it has the word “SEWER” on it. The District will mark the facilities that they operate and maintain on your property with green paint.

Property owners can also put their own separate lock on the gate. After the property owner installs the gate, the District will supply and put a lock on the gate. When installed, gates must be wide enough to open to the width of the maintenance roadway (usually 20 feet). The District must still have access to the maintenance roadways and the drains. The District will work with the property owner to protect his property and will allow gates to be placed across the maintenance roadways of the drains. I have a big ditch on my property and everyone is using it. The District has easements with property owners that are to be used only to operate and maintain the drains. Grand Valley Drainage District cannot give you permission to travel on ditch roads. You need to obtain permission from the property owner to ride, walk, or drive across his or her property. Grand Valley Drainage District ditch roadways are located on private property. I was on the drainage ditch road and my neighbor told me I couldn’t be there. For more information go to Maps (link to documents/maps) or check the related map link for specific drains in your area. If the ditch is 6 feet deep or more, and at least 30 feet wide and located North of the Colorado River, it is most probably a sub-surface drainage ditch that the District operates and maintains. If the ditch is 2-3 feet wide and 2-3 feet deep, it is most often part of a private irrigation system that either delivers water to your property or carries water away when you are through using it.
