Transitions between infield skin and outfield grass field 1-12- As discussed in our meeting, every field has some level of wind blown erosion in the transition areas. The eastern fields of each pod more than the western. It is our intent to resod every fields back arch approximately 80 inches to ensure a negative slope allowing water to enter the grass and eventually find a drain line. Drain lines currently are installed from foul pole to foul pole across the outfield. These lines dead end at a 45 degree angle at the back edge of the infield. No additional work will be completed to the drainage system. After discussion with all involved parties it is understood the best time to proceed with this work starting October 17th, 2022. Field verification with the owner will happen before sodding. If an area is deemed properly installed from November of 2021 this will be communicated with the owner. Additional drainage was also discussed and recommended by the Dura-edge report. At this time no additional drainage will be installed. It is possible to discuss a design change at a later date if deemed necessary. Practice quads- The design of the practice quad areas has the high point behind homeplate of every field leaning out towards center field. With the concrete of the batting cages this has created an area highly susceptible area to water erosion. The grass in this area has yet to be established, creating wash outs. It has been decided to wait until grass has been established to help slow the water down. At this time no additional measures will be put into place until grass has been established. Changes from the design team would need to be discussed at a later date if something needs to be done differently. Our team looks forward to addressing these concerns in October of 2022.
