Jack Creek Culvert

The Jack Creek culvert is assembled and the process of backfilling around it was completed at the end of last week. The backfill material was installed in 8 inch layers and each layer was compacted as specified in the project design.

The backfill next the new culvert is compacted using a "jumping jack" compactor. The pipe on the right side of the photo conveys the creek water around this section of the creek. It will be removed when the project is complete.

The streambed gravel and habitat features were started inside the culvert. The culvert will be filled with approximately 5 feet of streambed gravel. In the upper portion of that gravel, large boulders will be placed and the streambed re-constructed.
