Build a ton of cell tower roads w water bars...bury the rocks in line in the burm...or that won’t last one season...crown the road...yea my grandad was a country road grader operator...in the west UP...js
Once the settling area backs up with water (say it isn’t infiltrating in the early spring due to frozen soil), doesn’t it just back up into the road? Ultimately is this really cheaper and quicker than putting a super elevation crown on the road and digging localized ditches?
Helpful and Informative. Thank you MSU!
Should have thrown those "cobles" in to the settling pond. Would help slow down the erosion within the pond.
Yeah, I was thinking the same.
During fast runoff (storm or snow melt), won't the "swale" become a washout?
That bulldozer operator is an artist

Yup - but you know these 'engineering/operators', they're cute at that age.
Aren't these rolling dips?
