Cart Path Erosion on #13

Along the cart path on 13 the 5 inches of rain we have had has finally taken its toll on this drainage spot.  It had washed away a big section of the hill into the creek below and had washed out under the cart path about 2 feet back.  We started this repair by getting down in the ditch and clearing the debris out.  We then tamped the area down to make a solid base to begin our repair.

Next we hand stacked rocks to make a wall so that we could begin back filling under the cart path with crush fines.  We tamped the crush fines in with hand tampers so we could get a solid foundation under the cart path.

This is a picture from above so you can see the wall we built to hold the crush fines in place before we began filling in with the large stones.

Here is a picture after we finished filling in with the large rip rap rocks.  To finish this project up we will come back and put in some new curbing to help divert the water. We will be finishing this up once we get some hot weather to help slow down the grass so we can catch back up.
