October 15th, 2021 - 2nd Site Visit (Golf Course Tour)

Culvert Bordering Wallace Rd and Canoe Brook Golf Course
The team's second site visit involved a much more in depth walkthrough along with an investigation of the watershed area and several locations of interest inside the area. The team met with the Head Groundskeeper of Canoe Brook Golf Course to tour the course. We collected necessary photos and measurements along the 8th hole on the south course. Potential alternative designs were contemplated and discussed while on site. However, it was determined the team needed to conduct more research and information gathering before any final decisions were made. The team discovered a dam on the Canoe Brook Country Club property previously unknown to them in the watershed area. In conversation with local residents and several officials of the Country Club, the team found that there was more flooding that took place in the golf course itself before eventually draining downstream further. The team found that the flooding issue was as severe as previously thought, maybe even more so.
