A New Year?EUR??,,????'?????<???????????????????????(R)?EUR??,,????'????s Day rain storm and snow melt flooded Wade Creek and Eagle Creek, pushing the Clackamas River to flood-stage levels in Estacada, Ore. Landscape professionals are doing their part to clean up.
Just outside city limits, the rising waters of a tributary that feeds into the Clackamas River carried debris downstream and flooded a road. When local contractor Chris Klaetsch arrived, he removed large trees, railroad ties, fencing and three truckloads of mud from the area before the water receded far enough for residents to cross the bridge.
Outside the Estacada Public Library, landscape contractor Stephen Shibley and other volunteers and city staff filled wheelbarrows with shovels full of mud in an effort to clear the decorative swale and water feature near the entrance.
?EUR??,,????'?????<?????????????????There?EUR??,,????'?????<???????????????????????(R)?EUR??,,????'????s a lot of mud and silt in here, but it looks like the swale is intact,?EUR??,,????'?????<????????????????? Shibley said. ?EUR??,,????'?????<?????????????????Nothing was destroyed or compromised. All the mud made the swale inoperable and pretty messy with such a thick blanket of silt. We?EUR??,,????'?????<???????????????????????(R)?EUR??,,????'????re going to rake it clean, put in some drain rock and it should be happy again.?EUR??,,????'?????<?????????????????
