Based on that input, and a tour of the <br /> creek area earlier this week by Gene Shutt and myself, I have established the following plan. <br /> Much of the creek cross section is hidden by tall grass, and in a few areas, other overgrowth such as <br /> blackberries. This makes it very difficult to inspect the creek channel for any blockages or narrow spots <br /> that might cause flooding to occur during heavy rains. When the area is dry enough (probably near August <br /> 1st) Tim Rhay will rough mow the banks and the other safely accessible points in the channel. Dick <br /> Morgan will then contract with the Lane County Sheriff's work crew or the Lane County Juvenile Services <br /> work crew to perform removal of vegetation within the creek channel not accessible to the rough mower. <br /> Thus, the creek bottom can be inspected and the crew will also be instructed to hand remove any <br /> obstructions or blockages located. This will allow us to make visual inspections of the creek during the <br /> next rainy season to determine the appropriate solution and repairs needed to contain the water within the <br /> creek bed. <br /> The goal of this project is to minimize the amount of work we perform with mechanical equipment in order <br /> to preserve the natural setting as much as possible. <br /> If you have any questions or concerns regarding this project, please contact me. <br /> Page 1 <br />
