As this specially designed heavy timber bulkhead comes to its 495′ long end – the US Army Corps of Engineers permits take over. The large 100′ wide gulley between the two neighbors – which now accumulates large amounts of flotsam and debris – will become a low-water dam with buried corrugated 15″ culvert drains in the center of its specially designed drainage bowl which will funnel all normal to very high volume rain events out through the culverts, and out into the lake.
During long-term tropical events lasting weeks instead of days, if the volume surpasses the combined culvert volume capacity, the additional water flow will simply pass over the top of the lowered 20′ wide spillway section.
The future 100′ specially designed spillway & drain bulkhead project spanning the ravine will tie the two new bulkheads together – which combined are well over a thousand foot – into a seamless protected shoreline.
