When Glenn Johanson left his home in Eagle Bay Thursday afternoon to go to an appointment in Salmon Arm, he was met by a torrent of water rushing over the road.

He knew immediately what had happened.

Johanson lives about a half a kilometre from the spot where Eagle Bay Road was being ravaged, and he witnessed the same thing about five or six years ago.

He explains that a small lake sits up the mountain and it drains down via the creek that had just burst its banks.

The previous time, a beaver dam had burst so the water torrent released came down the mountain and obliterated the road.

香蕉视频直播淓xactly the same spot, same problem,香蕉视频直播� he says. 香蕉视频直播淔ive years ago they repaired the road and put in some measures that they thought would prevent a further occurrence.香蕉视频直播�

Johnson said a larger culvert was put in but it was still too small.

香蕉视频直播淟ocal residents thought this would never work because the volume of water coming down the creek far exceeds the volume culverts could take in a similar type of emergency.香蕉视频直播�

Johanson isn香蕉视频直播檛 sure what the solution is, but he suggests a new approach.

香蕉视频直播淥therwise this lake will keep flowing down every five or 10 years,香蕉视频直播� he said Friday. 香蕉视频直播淵esterday the road was taken out 香蕉视频直播� if you measured the length along the road, probably 100 or 200 feet long, and the entire width of it.香蕉视频直播�

He said the water carried debris with it, not only continuing down the creek to the lake, but also flowing down the road and down the ditches.

香蕉视频直播淚t carried some boulders and trees, and even carried a culvert at that point. The debris eventually crossed the road to someone香蕉视频直播檚 house. Fortunately no one was injured.香蕉视频直播�

Johnson suggests that drainage of the lake above be looked at, as it has probably been running down the mountain for hundreds of years.

香蕉视频直播淚 can see how the water has gouged out the creek bed and carried rocks and debris to the beach. So this has been going on for a long time. One solution is figuring out how to control that small lake.香蕉视频直播�

The other would be considering how the water flow that normally goes under Eagle Bay Road is designed.

香蕉视频直播淩ight now they香蕉视频直播檝e put culverts under the road. Last time they put in a larger culvert, it was still too small. They need something other than a culvert, whether it香蕉视频直播檚 a bridge or some other kind of diversion I have no idea. I香蕉视频直播檒l leave that to the civil engineers.香蕉视频直播�
