The Gintner farm has been very
active in wetland restoration and testing with the
District and the BNC Water Quality Board. This
structure is part of a new grant to study the ability of
a solar powered pump to increase water volume and water
treatment in the wetland. Solar power is used to
pump water from tile lines (the culvert structure in the
rear of photo) into the wetland for treatment. (2009) |

In this
photo, a Rock Basin is used as an outlet for a Drop
Inlet Structure that was installed to control erosion
problems caused by surface and tile water flow. (2008) |

Installation of an Anti-Seep
Collar, on a Drop Inlet Structure. Drop Structures
are used to collect surface runoff as well as tile
water, and outlet the water in a rock basin (above
picture) to control erosion. (2008) |

When installing many of our
practices, laser equipment is used to set grade, line up
