manner as in the last century. Knight
finds there is slow improvement with
some engineers really changing their
methods.
But it is not just the engineers who
cause problems. Contractors sometimes
do shoddy work. "First of all, only the
bottom should be cleaned out with a
hydraulic hoe and the banks left alone.
Some contractors do a good job, but there
are still many small operators who use im-
proper equipment, such as draglines,
destroying vegetation on the banks. When
that happens the bottom silts in quickly
again, causing another expensive clean-
out," according to Knight.
Some of the good engineers specify that
draglines are not to be used, which is a big
improvement and excludes contractors
without the right equipment.
Both Schenk and Knight praised the
work Norm Alexander has been doing in
making the rural community aware of
erosion and pollution problems.
Two years after recognition by the
Huron Federation of Agriculture, Alex-
ander recently also received international
recognition for his dedication. Many a
farmer whose land was disappearing into
lake and river has been helped by
Alexander's advice on how to position
rip -rap or filters at drain outlets.
