MASON VALLEY WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREA
The funding from this grant is being used to complete water conservation
projects at the Mason Valley Wildlife Management Area. In exchange for the grant
funding, NDOW has agreed to make efforts to decrease usage of Walker River
irrigation water with the saved water eventually being transported to Walker Lake in
an effort to improve water quality in that ecosystem.
Projects completed during fiscal years 2007 and 2008 include the completion of
a pump station and pipeline from the Fort Churchill Cooling Pond to the North Joggles
Ditch, completion of a pump station and pipeline from Redhead Pond to the Joggles
well discharge, completion of a pipeline from Swan Lake and North Pond. In addition,
pond leveling was completed at Goldeneye Pond (75 acres), Upper Pintail Pond (35
acres) and Butterball Pond (19 acres).
