A new stream diversion

A new stream diversion is being built at Fleet Pond. The diversion goes from the gelvert stream through the woodland then through the marsh and finally into the pond. The diversion has lots of kinks and pools to slow down the water and hopefully allow any sediment to settle out before it enters the pond. This diversion will take 1/3rd of the stream after a lot of rain. The diversion created last year will take another 1/3rd of the flow and the final flow will go straight into the lake and any sediment will hopefully be stopped by a sediment curtain at sandy bay so in the future any dredging of the pond won't need to be done by pontoon but can be done from the land.
