Approxi- <br />mately one-third of the lake is full of sand. Portions of the turf sprinkler <br />system was left stranded into the new river channel and all the turf areas are <br />covered with 1-6 feet of sand. The pump building(pumps,and electrical were <br />removed) is about half full of sand, the permanently situated tables were washed <br />into a tangle against a large cottonwood tree. Last year they suffered only <br />slight damage. <br /> <br />The following is B-Jisting of damage and cost estimates for repair: <br />!/' '-.~ . <br />Land removal - turf area $3,500.00. <br /> <br />Tables, repair <br /> <br />(boards. relocation, etc) <br /> <br />Sprinkler System (may! be a <br />total loss) <br /> <br />~500.00 <br /> <br />$25,000.00 (estimate) <br /> <br />Toilets - no apparent damage <br />other than pumping vaults, <br />except damage to one vault <br /> <br />$1,500.00 <br /> <br />Electrical Relocation <br /> <br />$500.00 . v/,~' <br />i"'-' w"'Y,~Y) r : <br /> <br />$25,000.00 <br /> <br />~ !)<<l.cm <br /> <br />NOTE: Most hand clean up will be with the Restitution Program. Our most <br />pressing need is the excess sand removal from the group picnic area, plus <br />rehabilitation of the tables and relocation for use. <br /> <br />Lake sand remmval -- considered <br />unfeasible at this time <br />Contractor estimate is: <br /> <br />We expect to open the campground ares (weather permitting) by June 30th, <br />but the group use area can not be serviceable until considerable work is com- <br />pleted. <br /> <br />t, <br />
