You may have noticed that we are not clearing all of the cattails out of the stream. The reason for this is our main concern is making a clear path for the water. This will minimize damage and debris during the rainy season. We will be working on this throughout the Fall and Winter. After a path is cleared for the water we will start over and remove all cattails.
The last step in the construction of number ten stream was layering the bottom with three inches of gravel "75 tons". This gravel has made it's way down stream plugging up bridges and narrowing the stream. Over the last two years we have taken out an estimated 40 tons of gravel. The piles of gravel limits the volume of water that can flow through the stream causing the water to overflow into the fairway. The maintenance department is currently taking the appropriate measures to maximize the flow of water through the stream.
