Abstract
Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 62/624,536, filed Jan. 31, 2018.
- Bodies of water such as creeks, rivers, ponds and lakes are locations that beautify parks, golf courses and natural settings. These bodies of water are typically defined by banks a few feet in height. These bodies of water attract burrowing animals such as muskrats. Muskrats dig into the banks of these bodies of water to make dens and to multiply. These dens can be numerous and can weaken the bank and cause serious erosion and receding of the bank. In many cases, efforts to trap and reduce the muskrat population has been ineffective.
- The present inventor has recognized the desirability of providing an effective method to repair a receding bank of a body of water which prevents the erosion caused by burrowing animals. The present inventor has recognized the desirability of providing articles that can be cost effectively manufactured and transported to the jobsite, the articles useful in repairing a bank of a body of water.
- The embodiments and methods of the invention provide for an effective repair of a receding bank of a body of water that reduces or eliminates the erosion effect of animal-burrowing into the bank. An exemplary embodiment includes a plurality of bag assemblies that each includes a bag, filled with rock, sand or soil, closed and wrapped with a mesh that is resistant to animal burrowing, such as a metal wire mesh or fencing, such as a metal mesh known as “chicken wire.” The bag assemblies can be stacked in a wall to repair or replace the bank and the area behind the wall can be filled with rock or other backfill. Animals, such as muskrats, are prevented from burrowing into the bank by the presence of the mesh.
- According to an exemplary method of the invention, a wall, made up by stacking the aforementioned bag assemblies, is built up along the body of water between the body of water and the receding bank. The area between the wall and the receding bank is then backfilled with rock, soil or sand. A top soil cover can be deposited over the top of the wall and over the backfill. Grass or other vegetation can be planted in the topsoil which over time will further stabilize the bank.
- As an enhancement to the aforementioned method, before the wall is built up by stacking the bag assemblies, a substrate or blanket of wire mesh is placed on top of the bank, down the receding bank and under and past the area to be occupied by the wall. After a first course of bag assemblies is placed onto the wire mesh, the wire mesh can be bent up along its lower edge and placed on top of the first course. A second course of bag assemblies is placed over the bent over wire mesh and onto the first course of bag assemblies. This holds the lower edge of the wire mesh in place, clamped between the first and second courses of bag assemblies. This substrate of wire mesh adds an additional layer of prevention against burrowing animals, such as muskrats, burrowing into the side of the bank.
- The first course of the aforementioned wall can be placed below water level further deterring burrowing animals from breaching the wall. The uppermost course can be filled with soil to promote vegetation growth through the uppermost bags. The uppermost course of bags can be perforated to promote the vegetation growth and may not need to be wrapped in wire mesh, given the close proximity to the ground surface.
- This application incorporates by reference U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 62/624,536, filed Jan. 31, 2018, in its entirety.
- Numerous other advantages and features of the present invention will become readily apparent from the following detailed description of the invention and the embodiments thereof, from the claims and from the accompanying drawings.
