Implement LTPBR

This is the day we have all waited for - no more planning, no more design - it is time to get dirty and build some messy LTPBR structures. We will meet at at Terry's House on Station Creek Rd (map below) at 0900 to begin the implementation day. We will start the day with a safety tailgate where we will go over the emergency procedures should an accident happen. We will then review the safety procedures for operating the hydraulic post driver, safety equipment requirements, and safety procedures for working in and around streams and your coworkers. We will then break up into groups and let each group begin to implement a portion of their design. Any field fitting or design changes can be made in the field after some consultation with the instruction team. We will end the day with the entire group walking through the completed structures and the individual groups reporting on their trials and tribulations during the implementation process.
