Tierra Verde

Date Completed: July 2010
Cost: $50,000

The Tierra Verde subdivision is located in the Fort Mohave area, south of Bullhead City, Az. North of the intersection of E. La Entrada Drive and S. Calle Del Media is a channel that was constructed on the east side of private property by the developer when the subdivision was built.

An inspection in 2010 found that the naturalbottom channel was in need of maintenance. The wash had undergone erosion in some areas while other areas were experiencing large vegetation growth.

As the result of the conditions found during the inspection, a project was initiated to bring the channel back to its intended structural condition. The channel was cleared of as much vegetation as possible and there was some excavation to allow more water to flow in the channel. For some increased protection, the county installed rip-rap along the west side of the channel.

The maintenance and improvements were completed at this channel in July 2010.
