Hunters Hole Site Management: Hunters Hole consists of a series of interconnected ponds that were formed by flood conditions during the period of 1950 and 1953. Water levels in the ponds were historically maintained by groundwater, irrigation drain flows, and by a connecting channel to the river. Over time, natural marsh evolution reduced mainstream flows, and periodic flooding/silting have isolated the area from the mainstream of the river and reduced surface water area. In 2001, Arizona game and Fish Department completed a plan "Restoration Plan for Hunters Hole. The objective for the plan called for the restoration, enhancement and managing of aquatic terrestrial habitats and to provide recreational opportunities. However, since that time the Limitrophe Division (including Hunters Hole area) has been characterized as an area extremely dangerous due to the increase of illicit activity and illegal border crossing over the past several years. An International Border Fence has been constructed in the area and is greatly reducing illicit and illegal activities. Over the past two years, the Yuma Borderland Management Task Force workgroup has met regularly to establish a strategy to manage the Limitrophe Division (including Hunters Hole area). The strategy proposes to enhance border security, safety, and the restoration and maintenance of the river corridor to desired future conditions. Key stakeholders participating in the Task Force include: City of Yuma, Yuma County Sheriff's Office, Department of Homeland Security's Yuma Sector, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation-Yuma Area office and the Boulder City Regional office. The purpose of this agreement is to fund water delivery activities and maintain riparian, marsh, and open water habitat within the Hunters hole area in a manner that will sustain wildlife values while providing for border security needs.
