SCS tells how
to maintain drains
LEBANON Sediment
trapped in subsurface
drainage systems drams
money from your pocket
says Fred Suffian, Soil
Conservationist. Water
standing a few days in low
lying croplands will reduce
yields cutting income and
land values.
According to Suffian, you
know your subsurface drams
are working if water
remains on your field for
only a short tune after a
heavy ram. If properly in
stalled, those drains will
function well for many
years.
Most failures can be
prevented by regular care.

as cleaning trash and
removing sediment, clearing
drainage outlets, and con-

trolling tree roots should be
performed at least twice a
year.
Surface inlet covers often
seal with trash while their
basins fill with slit. Clean
inlet covers and clean basins
when they are clogged. If a
cover is left off and/or the
basin fills the hue may clog.
Dram outlets may fail W
because the outlet ditch
becomes too shallow,
causing a backup in the line.
A minimum free-fall of %
foot should be maintained
from the bottom of the dram
outlet to the bottom of the
ditch or stream.
Roots of nearby trees may
grow into subsurface drams
causing the lines to block. A
tree root zone is about the
same size as its crown
diameter, therefore, cut tree
as necessary.
