West Anaconda and Highway 48 Multi-Use
Trails Project
Helena, MT

Based on a DNRC Reclamation and Development Grant awarded to Anaconda-Deer Lodge County (ADLC) in 2009 (WWC grant preparation), WWC was contracted by ADLC to implement the first phase of design for the proposed new public use trail system proposed to connect the City of Anaconda to the communities of Opportunity, Fairmont and Warm Springs. The first phase includes the design, permitting and easement acquisition for over 11 miles of public use trails that includes a 4 mile segment extending west from the City of Anaconda along Highway 1 and a 7 mile segment along Highway 48 from Highway 1 the community of Warm Springs. The new path was designed for numerous multi-use opportunities including pedestrian, bicycle, and equestrian users.

Mountain View Meadows (MVM)
Helena, MT

Phase A of Aspen Park at MVM
The first final plat phase (Phase A) of Aspen Park at Mountain View Meadows has provided 40-single family residential lots and two lots for multi-family dwellings. This phase has provided an attractive Smart Growth alternative to the fast crowding area of the Helena Valley. Phase A has been annexed into the City of Helena complete with city water and sewer connections. Phase A included the design of all roads, storm sewer, water, sanitary sewer and an extensive bike and pedestrian path system.

Antelope Trace of Crossroads at MVM
Known as the Antelope Trace Phase of Crossroads at Mountain View Meadows Subdivision, this project is the first phase of the Crossroads at Mountain View Meadows. Antelope Trace contains 49 residential lots within the entire Crossroads development that will contain a total of 892 lots with a mix of residential and commercial uses. The development is located between Helena and East Helena south of U.S. Highway 12. Antelope Trace is a medium density residential housing development that contains moderately sized lots to provide affordable housing to the area and provide an alternative to the over-crowding of the Helena Valley. In the valley, individual wells and septic disposal systems are beginning to create problems due to high density and residual nitrate concentrations. Antelope Trace has been annexed into the City of Helena and is served by city water and sewer services, providing a Smart Growth alternative to the degradation of the Helena Valley’s aquifer system.

Fort Peck Tribes Irrigation Contract
In 2008 WWC was selected to provide contract engineering services for the Fort Peck Tribes Irrigation Project. In cooperation with Fort Peck Tribes and the BIA, this project involves a number of major rehabilitation projects including the following: 5-mile gravity canal to pressurized pipeline conversion; a main canal check structure replacement; main canal and lateral canal rehabilitation and linings; and river pump station evaluations and alternative analyses. WWC is also assisting the Fort Peck Tribes in submitting grant applications for funding; preparation of Preliminary Engineering Reports; preliminary and final design services and providing construction inspection. WWC was contracted by the Fort Peck Tribes to perform construction administration for the 58 Main Canal Check Structure. The 58 Main Canal Check Structure is on of the primary water diversion structures downstream of the Frazer Pump Station that services over 10,000 acres of irrigation. WWC assisted the Fort Peck Tribes in the assurance of quality construction and provided necessary project guidance that saved the tribe valuable time and dollars.

Petroleum County Conservation District
Mosby-Musselshell Water Shed Group
(MMWG) Water Storage Project
In the summer of 2009, WWC was selected by the Petroleum County Conservation District and MMWG to prepare a site evaluation for a reservoir and dam that would provide irrigation water storage for release to downstream water users during the late season low flows in the Musselshell River. The project has included soils investigation and testing, digital mapping for analysis of the reservoir capacity and canal capacity, water availability and feasibility studies, and a preliminary engineering report. WWC engineers have attended group meetings and assisted with a water rights application and grant applications to aid in funding for the proposed new water storage facility.
