Riprap installation


Last year during hurricane Irene we lost a large section of cart path running from our number 2 hole to our number 3 hole.  Underneath the cart path there is a creek that runs through and connects to the Patuxent River.  As the water level rose during the hurricane the cart path could not withstand the force of the flood waters resulting in the washing away of the cart path and everything underneath.  In this picture we are installing the filter fabric.  We hope this will help with the erosion if and when the creek rises again. 


We set rip rap on top the the filter fabric adding more weight.

Lets hope this works!
