Project Narrative
A local, private contractor with experience in pond maintenance was hired to clean, repair, and seal 25 ponds in the bookcliffs big game summer range. The work occurred during October 2021 when there was no/little water in the ponds. Ponds were excavated using a mini skid-steer and material was used to recontour the dam and spillway features to functional specifications. A mixer salt sealer (preferred by operators in the bookcliffs) was spread across the pond bottom to help seal and minimize seepage. These improved, existing water sources will help better distribute animals across the limited summer range of the bookcliffs and increase water capacity and availability in the area.

Future Management
Bookcliffs operators and UDWR will monitor the ponds for functionality and maintenance needs in the future.
