Trout Unlimited (TU) is seeking an experienced, qualified Contractor to provide construction services for a large-scale river restoration and riparian improvement project. This project will replace two irrigation push up dams and combine them into one rock ramp. We also aim to stabilize a large outside bank and replace two aging headgates. The project is in partnership with private landowners, the NRCS, Wyoming Game and Fish Department and United States Fish and Wildlife Service that is intended to improve aquatic and riparian habitat, reduce streambank erosion, improve flood resiliency, reduce fish passage concerns, and improve irrigation efficiencies. The Lewis and Homer project area is located approximately 18 miles south of Evanston Wy near the Chalk Creek Road in Uinta County, Wyoming (Township 13N, Range 120W, Section 34).
