On May 7th at 10 a.m., I arrived at the Umstead State Park. After arriving, me and a few others were instructed as to what we were doing and how to do it. Previously, other people had developed a rain bed that helped remove pollutants from water in the surrounding area. This worked because the water flowed into the special sand that these plants and trees are kept in and the pollutants are removed while the water continues to flow. The problem was that the rocks that were laying on top of the tarp that held down the natural clay were low quality and kept falling onto the sand. If they clay were too seep into the sand then the sand would become clogged and lose its abilities. As a result, we spent a few hours removing the previous rocks that were there, sweeping, cleaning, and weeding over the fabric, and then placing tiles about 2/3rds of the way up and flat decent sized rocks the rest of the way up.
