Walker Valley emergency remediation THIS Saturday, May 22nd!

japerry · May 19, 2010

After looking at the issues from Walker Valley last weekend, there were some issues that came up that need to be fixed ASAP.

We will be tackling the runoff issues on upper expressway, in the muddy section, as well as the section after the rock climb

Since Ecology is coming out on June 8th, we need to get these issues fixed before the regular scheduled work party on June 12th.

With the holiday coming the last weekend of May, and most people from up north at Elbe June 5th, we'll be holding a special work party this Saturday, starting at 9am in the parking lot.

Things we need:
* Pickup Trucks with beds, that we can load rock into
* Shovels, hoes, etc (might be able to coordinate with Elyse about getting these)
* Hay bails
* Silt Fencing
* Nails

If you have anything to offer, or can be here for labor, that'd be great. It'd show not only local DNR reps, but olympia and DOE that we're serious about keeping our trails sustainable and open for ORV use!

One question, what are the nails for????

Damn it! This is a tough one...I'm gonna need to think on it.

BUT if anyone wants to head up Sunday, I would be willing to put in another days worth of work. Or if anyone wants to head up during the week, I'm avalible to help, and help point out trouble spots.

For staking silt fence to a log on the upper part of the expressway is my best guess:awesomework:

Right On....makes sense.....

Jakob, I am gonna see about getting Ron up there to perform his equipment artistry, that is if the Excavator is confirmed...:awesomework: Let me know as SOON as you find out!:awesomework:

If I am not mistaken ( and I rarely am) :fawkdancesmiley:Jim said that they have silt fencing and hay bails or could supply them. You juts need to call them and let them know you need them In fact I think Elyse would deliver them to Walker. Not sure what Sunday has in store for me I might try and make it.
