SR 167 Green River flooding preparations
When we sandbag the shoulder of SR 167 to protect against Green River flooding, we don't just go out there and throw these bags on the ground. We line them all up and then wrap them like an enclosed taco in specialized plastic then sew up the top so no moisture gets in.
You see the bottom of the taco here and one bag on top.
These bags may have to remain in place for up to five years or until the Green River flood concern has passed. It's important that the bag, the material inside and the plastic can last that long exposed to wind, rain, snow and ice. ^tjh
