This is the diversion channel above the
new #9 (the current Lakeside #7 is on the left, and the lake is out of the photo to the right). The channel has
to be either seeded and lined with erosion matting or lined with fabric and...
...rock.
This is R3 riprap -- pretty big rocks. A truckload doesn't go too far.
This is super silt fence. It's regular
48" cyclone fence with 2½" posts buried 36". Then silt fence fabric is wired to the front
and tension cables are strung along it. It runs the entire length of our lake. We almost hope that we get that "25 year storm" just
to see if this stuff really works, but dry weather is much more desirable for our project. Butler's Grounds
Crew has been very helpful here, too.
You are looking from the new pumphouse
toward new #9 green. Those are just temporary boulders, in a temporary drainage channel, with temporary super silt
fence. It will be a lot more playable once the grass grows in.
