South Side Canal Contract Extended for Belle Fourche Project
Contractors on the south side feeder canal of the Belle Fourche irrigation scheme have a 45 day extension to finish work from Owl Creek dam to near the W S Hamilton ranch. Eng J L Mann leads the effort with A W Walker at Yale, as engineers map the 45 mile canal and prepare for a winter contract award. The project includes a 40 foot drop and a concrete reinforced steel inverted siphon under the Belle Fourche River, plus a six by eight foot tunnel through a shale bank and long concrete culverts to cross Whitewood and Stinking Water creeks. Engineering offices moved to Belle Fourche to streamline winter work.
