A new bridge at Fleet Pond

The culvert at Fleet pond is being replaced this week we've put it a temporary bridge. The culvert needs to be replaced because we have put 2 stream diversions off the gelvert stream into this ditch so we need to widen the culvert to take this extra flow. The stream diversion is important to hopefully reduce the amount of sediment that comes down the stream into the pond. The diversion has lots of kinks to slow down the water and hopefully allow the suspended sediment to settle out before entering the pond. Then in the future it will make removing the sediment less disruptive as it can be easily accessed from the diversion bed
