Creek project continues along 9th hole

Creek restoration work continues along the 9th hole. Two sets of weirs are completed and the contractor is working next to the bridge on #6. They should finish there today then move their operation back to the pair of weirs in front of Bing Tang's house on #8. They will be there through Friday, then clean up as much as possible before the Women's Member-Member event on Mon 8/19 and Tues 8/20. No work will take place during the women's event. On Wed 8/21 the contractor will move to the last pair of weirs to the left of #6 green. This will be the most difficult part of the job due to the steep slope next to the creek on the sixth hole. Dump trucks will not be able to haul material to the site due to the slope so a tracked dumper will be rented for the job. The in stream work must be completed before September 1st to comply with the WDFW (WA Department of Fish & Wildlife) permits for the project.

This is the first pair of weirs along the 9th hole. I'm standing on the upstream weir looking downstream.

I added this photo to show the location of the weirs in the photo below. The loader is parked adjacent to the second set of weirs about 100 yard out from the 9th green.

The crew is installing anchors to the root wads to prevent them from washing away in a big rain event. This is the third set of weirs on the 9th hole as seen from the bridge crossing the 6th hole.
