SOX information and more info on the Karwick Nature Park project.
I talked to the neighbor tonight. He said that the area that is excavated and covered in that video was an old dump. It was leaching "stuff" into Trail Creek AND the ground was slowly getting eroded into Trail Creek. So it was a multi pronged approach to the problem. They put a leach field under the SOX fabric and put a transfer pump in the catch basin that the leach field drained to. That leach field caught the leachate before it could make it to Trail Creek. Salmon (Kings and Skamania) use Trail Creek as a spawning area and Trail Creek dumps into Lake Michigan not that far away. That transfer pump pumped the leachate to the Waste Water Treatment Plant there in Michigan CIty, which is very close to that area. Then they re-landscaped over the SOX. He said it looks great, and it was 4 years ago that they did the work. He said it took about 2, maybe 3 months from start to finish.
