Colby Reid of Western States Reclamation discusses mulching for NRCS NM HP/CC Wildfire EWP
Colby Reid, Western States Reclamation, LLC. Division Manager discusses the mulching part for the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) NM Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) project offering disaster assistance for the Hermit's Peak/Calf Canyon (HPCC) fire and flooding in 2022. The HPCC fire was the worst wildfire in NM state history. NRCS NM quickly began one of the largest aerial seeding and mulching operations in NRCS history. Mulching was intended to address erosion control and provide cover for the seeding part of the operation.
The mulch consisted of Ponderosa Pine trees that were cut from the Burned area and Ground into 1”- 6” mulch.
The seed mix consisted of 40% Winter Wheat (Cool Season Annual), 40% Cereal Rye (Cool Season Annual, 15% Western Wheat Grass (Cool Season...

Reclamation of WEST BAY Southampton 1927-34
The construction of the Extension Quay is one of the greatest engineering feats undertaken in Great Britain. A huge area had to be dredged and reclaimed before the concrete quay could be added. An untidy waste of mud-flats between two points was filled in, and the river dredged so that ships could berth. About 20,000,000 tons of silt and soil had to be shifted.
The dredgers first scoured a channel two miles long and 600 feet wide, and dredged it to a depth of 35 feet, and of 40 and 45 feet along the quay wall. The soft mud formed a bed between 6 feet and 20 feet deep, and this had to be dredged and dumped out at sea. Under this was a stratum of gravel from 2 feet to 7 feet thick. This was valuable, as it was made into concrete or used to build up banks. The sand and clay underneath were a...

SUMMARY
This film shows the Colorado River, electric power transmission lines, and a steel plant in operation. A train brings materials, fuel, and workmen to Boulder City to build Boulder Dam. Close-ups are shown of buckets on cable cars dumping cement into the coffer dam. Included are views of the power lines and towers at the dam site, the switches to control the power, and the completed dam; and the farms, homes, and orchards made possible by power...

The construction of the Extension Quay is one of the greatest engineering feats undertaken in Great Britain. A huge area had to be dredged and reclaimed before the concrete quay could be added. An untidy waste of mud-flats between two points was filled in, and the river dredged so that ships could berth. About 20,000,000 tons of silt and soil had to be shifted.
The dredgers first scoured a channel two miles long and 600 feet wide, and dredged it to a depth of 35 feet, and of 40 and 45 feet along the quay wall. The soft mud formed a bed between 6 feet and 20 feet deep, and this had to be dredged and dumped out at sea. Under this was a stratum of gravel from 2 feet to 7 feet thick. This was valuable, as it was made into concrete or used to build up banks. The sand and clay underneath were also useful for building up the foreshore.
Below the clay the dredges brought up trunks of trees that once formed part of an oak forest. Bones of deer and the teeth of a wild boar were also found. Laden with the spoil from the dredges, the barges were towed to the site of the new land. First the engineers built up a bank on which to put their gear. Then they enclosed the muddy area, shutting out the tide and leaving a muddy lake to be filled in. The spoil in the barges was saturated with water from pipes, and this mixture was pumped through other pipes until the muddy lake was gradually filled.
Monoliths - concrete boxes about 45 feet square, and made on the site - were sunk to provide the foundation for the long quay. Every monolith had a steel cutting edge as its base and was laid in sections, a standard monolith weighing about 5,000 tons. There are 146 under the quay and they were sunk to 70 feet and 100 feet. Often the edge of the monolith encountered boulders which had to be removed by dropping a steel-toothed grab down the well of the monolith. When a monolith began to cant it was coaxed into an upright position by laying cast-iron blocks on the higher side until the weight forced the monolith back into position.
The construction of the graving dock was almost a superhuman task. The engineers surrounded the site with a gravel bank and made this watertight by a curtain of sheet steel driven along the centre line. They pumped out the site and began digging,
Water threatened to burst up from below the dock, but tube wells were sunk into the sand and the danger was averted. The dock, which is 59 ft 6-in deep, holds 260,000 tons of water and can be emptied in four hours by centrifugal pumps. The steel door, which weighs 4,600 tons, was floated round to Southampton from the Tees, where it was made. This great dock, named after King George V, who opened it, is the “cot” of the Queen Mary, in which she rested when her propellers, rudder and underwater sections were examined after her trip from the Clyde in March, 1936. The four 54-in centrifugal pumps are electrically driven. There are two travelling cranes, one lifting 50 tons and the other 10 tons.
