Here is just a brief summary of a meeting we had in May with Garland folks and Kimley-Horn analysts.
The assessment of the sewer throughout the length of Spring Creek as it goes through the Preserve is nearing the end, depending on rain. And you all know we have had a good deal of rain lately. Until the report is presented and the various Garland departments have had time to review it and decide how to proceed, work on the sewer itself is still at a standstill. But be of good cheer – the departments are certainly talking to each other this time. (That calls for a Smiley Face.)
There is excellent progress in starting the dispersal of some of the huge debris piles that were left by the bulldozers. The Garland Parks Department is carefully starting to pull those debris piles apart and disperse the smaller debris carefully around the area so it can decompose more quickly and feed the forest. The larger tree trunks will also most likely be left to decompose in place because the machinery needed to remove these very heavy items will compact the soil and cause new problems. Those decomposing trunks will become the home for grubs and other insects. As they hollow out, they will become shelter for our Preserve animals.
