Weekly Low Water Update
February 25, 2022
Dear Partners:
Glen Canyon National Recreation Area continues to respond to low water conditions on Lake Powell. This week’s low water update includes:
1. Bullfrog North Ramp Extension Project: The contractor will be mobilizing and staging for the construction project during the week of March 7. This construction contract includes regrading and permanently extending the Bullfrog North Ramp to potentially reach a lake elevation of 3525 feet. (The amount of extension that is possible will be dependent on the lowest water level reached before spring runoff begins, as no construction will occur in water.) This project is anticipated to be completed May 1, 2022. Use of the ramp will be dependent on lake levels.
2. Extending the Legacy Stateline Auxiliary Ramp Continues: Houseboats are currently launching and retrieving on one lane (currently the northern most middle lane). Due to weather and supply issues, the concrete pour previously announced for this week was postponed. On February 24, 2022, boiler plates were moved to the north side of the ramp. On March 1, 2022, Aramark's contractor will pour concrete on the middle section and south side of the ramp. During construction, at least one lane will remain open with boiler plate ramp extensions until the project is completed (to target elevation 3490).
