Last week of in stream creek work

Work in the stream is in it's final week and the contractor (Jansen Inc.) is working on the last weir next to the 6th green. This is the most complicated part of the job so they left it for last. It has the worst access due to the slope of the area above the creek across the 6th hole. All of the material that is used in the stream has to be hauled in with a tracked vehicle. It's not safe for dump trucks to make the trip back and forth, they would slide down the slope into the stream.

This photo shows the area where they are working next to the 6th green. Take a look at the photo below. You can see the pipes in the stream right below the weir. Those are pipes that are connected to two pumps that draw water out of the stream and fill the pond for our irrigation system. Those two pipes will be installed into a large concrete box which the contractor will set below water level next to the weir.

 Work in the stream must be completed by the end of the day on August 31st to comply with WDFW permits for the project. The next phase of the project will be planting the work areas with native shrubs. Work will start at the south end of the course on #11 and continue north along #16 tee finishing up by the 8th green. The contractor will also clean up as they go and restore the work areas where the turf was removed. The work should be complete by the first week in October.
