Volunteers, all Scouts, family, and parents with Boy Scout Troop 1371, carried the stone wheelbarrow load by wheelbarrow load to the gully. Three step ponds were constructed, next to each other. The step ponds will slow down the outfall from a large stormwater drain and eliminate the erosion that has been occurring there for many years.
Congratulations to Ronnie and Boy Scout Troop 1371for completing yet another important project in the Little Rocky Run watershed. Special thanks to Asad Rouhi and Fairfax DPW, especially Jeff Hatterick, who saw to it that the rip rap arrived at the site in a timely manner.
Volunteers included: Matt Brennan(S), Pat Brennan(S), Tom Brennan, Vince Dominicus(S), Ned Foster, David Hammer(S), Mike McCarthy, Don Minner, Joanne Robison, Holly Robison, and Ron Robison. (Ronnie Robison is in the center, standing and is wearing jeans).
Visit Smugmug for additional photos. The photo above and those on Smugmug were taken by Tom Brennan. Since the work site was in the woods and shaded, most of the photos tend to be a little dark.
