New 9 Construction Diary.....Page 12

     
 bridge at range after the storm  The bridge at the Practice Area made it through the storm, even though the water was over the walkway and the stream banks eroded a lot. We lost many of the small crabapple trees by the Practice Area. Notice the normal water level in the creek.
     
 creek and bridge to picnic pavilion  This is the same creek, just after the heavy rains stopped. Several of the silver maples in this area didn't fare so well. Rock Run was definitely running.
     
 drainage swale on #5 after the storm  This drainage swale at the bottom of #5 had been lined with a geotextile liner and riprap (and the pipe was not exposed). It was just all gone. The excavators were having lunch in their truck further up the hill when the storm hit. The wind really shook the truck, and many trees nearby were blown over.
     
 sediment pond & #8 green  It's a bit hard to see this picture, but the pan is working in the area of #8 green (#7 tee is up on the top of the hill). The thing to notice is how low the water is in the sediment pond. There is about 10 feet of concrete basin showing. This was taken a few days before the storm.
     
 sediment pond after the storm  This is approximately the same view of the pond, taken just after the heavy rains. The debris may be part of our silo's roof. At any rate, the concrete basin is completely covered. The water level in our main irrigation lake rose about 4 feet in an hour or so. Unbelievable.
     
 It was a tree, it's not a post  This is just one of many, many trees that we lost. One tiny branch managed to stay attached to the trunk. Some trees were uprooted, some were topped and split. We used a chipper (and chain saws) for a couple of weeks solid, and we still haven't gotten to most of the stumps.
