empires of the undergrowth not responding how to fix

Last meeting was due to our misunderstanding the nature of the flooding at your

In fact, I think a lot of the miscommunication at the Having your observations, and ours, more systematically like this Thank you, Christopher, for providing all thisĭata. In short, ANY major storm moving east to west dumping heavy rainfall successively on the creek to the east and then here will cause flooding on this property. That would only have been prevented if an alleviating system further up the creek in Bryan Park existed (a fairly major operation, unlike the creek-and-roadside-ditches operation) Two (or was it three?) years ago the heavier storms flooded a That would not have happened if the creek had been cleared AND the previously-planned-but-now-abandoned plan to renew drainage ditches along this block of Dunn had been carried out. Two weeks ago I was flooded in these conditions, with the extent of flooding almost precisely limited to this property only, just not quite onto the adjacent Unless the accumulated filling of the creek at that point is cleaned out) Itself), and the bottleneck turn in the creek at this property’s SW corner, which could be eased by clearing the creek-bed at the S-bend (a first step in that was made last week by workers clearing some of the trees and undergrowth, not in itself a solution There are thus two problems: the excessive flow in the creek from further East (which could probably only be alleviated by an overflow system in Bryan Park A flow which cannot make the sharp S-turn in the creek at the SW corner of this property, backing up the flood across my yard (front and back) includingįlooding the garage but so far just not quite the house itself (escapes by inches!) Which causes the creek to overflow across Dunn and over this propertyĥ. And the same storm in the immediately-following period then dumps a lot on the area bounded by Allen, Davis, Dunn, Henderson (all of which drainsīoth into the creek and across Dunn into this property)Ĥ.

When the rain moves from east to west, so that the creek fills with the outfall from the east before the main fall reaches this immediate areaģ. Heavy rain in a short period (not just the prolonged lighter falls of last weekend for example, with which the creek copes well)Ģ. I get flooded when the following conditions occurġ. No flooding this time here, but thought I might use this moment (your thoughtful enquiry) to sum up what I’ve deduced about the flooding that affects this property
