I just received a call from Janeal Thompson. She talked to the Division Wildlife Manager for Colorado Parks and Wildlife in Springfield which is 60ish miles south of Lamar. This man has been put in charge of the tree cutting at the Black Hole area. All decisions being made are directed by the State Dept. of Water Resources engineers for tree cutting. All trees "in" the canal are to be cut down so that repairs can be made for the canal. Due to the flooding during the monsoon rains, many trees fell over and into the canal. The DWM did not yet know whether trees "along" the canal will be cut down. So far, the trees around the Black Hole itself will not be cut down. The DWM also told Janeal that there is a tremendous trash problem in the Black Hole area and the people who dump and leave their trash will now be ticketed. They are going to patrol that area 7 times per day so don't be surprised if you are approached. There is a faction who is taking over the area with alcohol and who knows what else so they are going to take control of that problem as quickly as possible. This will be a big job and there will be a lot of activity down there so be prepared. The dam is not in tip top shape and there is some seepage below the dam and some underground pipelines will need to be repaired and/or replaced. Feel free to email me privately if you have an questions lindapaulsen05@yahoo.com Thanks to Dave Leatherman for posting for us last evening.
