At Work | 2005

Summary of maintenance and special projects completed in 2005.

Maintenance

Dam VIII-D Tree Removal

During a storm a large tree fell across the fence and into the emergency spillway area causing damage and blocking the spillway.

Maintenance

Structure 35L

The inlet section of this pipe had separated from the second section causing water to backup into the ditch, sometimes flooding over the road.

Maintenance

River Styx Debris

River Styx Tree Removal

A very large tree had fallen into the River Styx channel just north of Wall Rd., causing a blockage.

Maintenance

Structure 36R

Structure 36R Repair

The drop inlet of 36R had rusted out in several places, greatly reducing the ability of the pipe to function as designed.

Maintenance

Tree Removal VIII-C

Tree Removal Dam VIII-C Emergency Spillway

The trees and brush along the stream channel that runs through the middle of the emergency spillway at Dam VIII-C was overgrown with trees and shrubs.

Structure 35L

The inlet section of this pipe had separated from the second section causing water to backup into the ditch, sometimes flooding over the road.

The separated pipe was forcing water around and under the second section of pipe. If not repaired, the water would eventually erode underneath the pipe possibly to the point of washing the pipe out and eroding the bank. It was determined that the first section should be removed and replaced with rock riprap to alleviate the problem.
