Outflow Pipe (log float)
On the left are pieces of reused concrete we used to protect the outflow pipe from erosion and to establish a new orifice size. This orifice size set the outflow rate for the whole system allowing all four basins to fill up and sediments to start settling from the still waters. On the right is one of the logs that were replaced in the new basins after clearing, grading and planting. During one of the storm events the log floated 100 yds to the outflow pipe. It floated over all of the young willows that were submerged in the water as none of them were damaged by this log float.
