Residents of the Freshwater and Elk Watersheds haved had intense increases of flooding in recent years. These residents are asking for the communities assistance in addressing these issues. With the winter rains about to set in, the topic is of concern to many residents on the Northcoast.
thats what you get for building on a flood plain. why do you think that wrigley's father put in french drains in his orchard and did not allow tractors or large trucks to drive on them. she also needs to learn how to prune a fruit tree i would also like to hear how she keeps fertilizer and sediment runoff under control ????
