Structure 37L-1

Structure 37L-1 included a 21-inch diameter drop inlet and a 12-inch vertical berm drain on 148 ft. of pipe. The drop inlet had rusted out causing the soils to be washed out around the pipe resulting in continued erosion and a safety hazard. In addition, the 148 ft. pipe was rusted out along the bottom. The photo shows sections of the old pipe choked full of dirt and debris.

Chippewa Creek Banks

Many sections of channel banks were overgrown with brush and trees and needed to be cleared to create access for equipment used in repairing structures. Part of the left bank downstream from Coal Bank Rd. was cleared and is now mown yearly to maintain it.

Mowing the Dams / Channels

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources Dam Safety regulations require flood control dams to be mown at least once per year and preferably twice a year. Four of the dams currently are mown twice a year, the other four are mown by the land owners anywhere from one to three times a year.
