Erosion 3 Creek Continues

After two trees were removed, the area was graded.  This removed soil that has been moved around during flooding and provided a base for rocks to be installed to prevent erosion.


Next the cart path was removed because the creek had been undercutting it.


Then a heavy erosion fabric was installed in order to keep the rocks from settling into the sub-soil.


Then rocks were stacked on the liner starting at the water level and moving up.


After the rocks were stacked the crew filled any holes in the slope by hand with smaller rocks to strengthen the slope.


Once the rock work was done, forms were set and concrete was poured.


 The area around the new cart path was graded and grass was planted in areas where the soil was disturbed.
