    If you put the new cuttings below you, where the water is going to flow, it takes them away so they won't be used again for building material. :) Small tip from Jack Handy.

    One of the forest services in Canada found that putting a large PVC pipe into the breach after the water flows down to where you want it works wonders. Put a plug in the downstream side that you can screw in/out, and let the beavers include the pipe into the dam. When the water behind the dam gets to a level you deem to high open the plug and afterwards when the flow stops reinsert the plug. This allows for the beavers to exist in the pond, the water to accumulate, and allows for further remediations without destroying the dam or the rest of the environment. I’ve witnessed first hand the great work beavers can do in a barren area when they are reintroduced into an area. It’s a shame to see them driven out.

    Back when I was a kid, one of my old bosses (he was a good man) told me that if you want to find the easiest way to do a job, ask the laziest guy on the job site, LOL, he was referring to me so here goes, attach a comealong or an electric winch (need small generator) to a tree and hook that to a heavy duty boat anchor, throw the anchor out into the pond and drag it through the dam. Just a thought!😊

    In some jurisdictions if allowed to stand too long beavers ponds can become protected wetlands. Maybe I don't want a 10 acre pond where my kids'future homes will be built. In my local area beaver dams can change long established drainage patterns. That scenic pond may have been backing up water on a road or structure in the area. It also could have been flooding out valuable trees or crops out of view. You can be sure a farmer isn't going to be paying for a service they don't need.

  • @rustyiron
    @rustyironАй бұрын

    They use grass, reeds logs and sticks for rebar and and mud for concrete. Perfect example of why a narrow deep breach works to your advantage, a repair is easier to remove than opening a whole dam. Suggestions don't let the material you pull out of the pile up at the foot of the dam. White water shows material blocking the flow of water removing it should make the removal of mud easier. If you are going to put the culvert back the discharge end needs to be higher than the inlet, typically the maximum level of water you want in the pond/lake.
