RE: Dry Bridge Park
KALISPELL,. MONTANA June 10 ? lg 82
TO THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
C�iTLF.i`l�N: -
Stahly Engineering has been involved with the inspection of a number of parks. Their
goal is critically reviewing the needs of what must be done to make most people happy
in the park area.
In the Dry Bridge Park area east of Woodland Avenue, it was discussed to leave as much
as possible as it, but to use this area for walking paths, etc.
West of Woodland Avenue, where the water is similar to the south end of the slough
along the City's property line approximately 8 ft. wide on top of the dike with a culvert
placed under the dike, it was considered to drain the water from the city side either by
pump or siphon across Woodland Avenue to the city storm drain outfall. At this meeting.
we were unaware the culvert under Woodland Avenue was completely plugged.
Respectfully submitted,

Mike expressed concern for the area west of Woodland or where the water is,
Mike also recommends a dike on the south end and culvert with a control valve under
the dike with a drain line from the dike north to the culvert under Woodland Avenue.
He also recommends that the culvert under Woodland Avenue be opened to let out as
much water as.will

RE: Dry Bridge Park
MISPELL, MONTANA _ June 10 4 2982
TO THE HONORABLE 14A:YOR AND CITY COUNCIL,
Dennis says the culvert is open on the east end, but closed on the west side under
Woodland Avenue at the Dry Bridge Park.area. He feels that we must remove the water
from the area and recommends a temporary dike a short distance south of the inlet under
Woodland to hold the water while the culvert is opened under Woodland. On the south end,
a dike should be put in with a culvert and co land
Avenue inlet. He feels it would take about 800 yards of material is dike. Also,
estimates 35,000 to 40,000 yards of material to..bring it u to a useable area. Mike
further suggests that test holes be drilled along the banks of the area to see where the
water is coming from, as there were indications that there are ground water springs..
A general consensus of all three meetings this date was that the water should be removed
almost completely from the area and that the culvert should be opened up.
Meeting adjourned at 5:45 P. M.
Respectfully submitted,
