Illahee Creek Culvert. Last summer the Illahee Creek culvert under Illahee Road was cleaned of sediment such that a bobcat loader could be driven in the culvert. It quickly filled up from our normal rains and after the last rain we took the picture at the end of this email to check the impact of the last storm. The culvert performed better than expected though the gravel bank inside the culvert is growing. The county is proposing an annual cleaning of the culvert to prevent it from filling up and possibly washing out the road.
Last Week's Rain. We received the following report (on May 6th) on how much rain was received in Illahee last week.
I was amazed at the 2.49 inches in 24 hour period ending Tuesday evening. This is the most 24 hour rainfall since the December 3rd 2007 storm. With today's rain we may well be over 3 inches for the 2 day period.
