Just wanted to give you an update on the condition of the dams after the rains. I checked the dam sites yesterday to see what repairs the beavers face in the coming days.
The primary dam looks pretty good and looks like most of the materials didn’t get washed away.
The secondary dam received the most damage and hopefully the beavers will start working on the repairs here first. When the tide is low, the beavers right now will be dealing with an area, with little water running through, as they go between the primary dam and the secondary dam. This is what it looks like now from the Marina Vista bridge.
Whenever the rains come, we know the dams will just wash out and we wonder why the city was so up tight in regards to flooding.
The beavers will be busy as beavers and probably will get everything back right before the rains come again. Then they will start all over again.
