Hahamongna's Johnson Field Before and After (Photos)

The above photos, taken by local cyclist and outdoor enthusiast Dorothy Wong, illustrate the changes going on in part of the Hahamongna Watershed Park since the beginning of the 'Little Dig' project of removal of sediment from the Devil's Gate Dam for on-site storage at the Johnson Field area of the park.

The decision to store the sediment on-site was made after multiple public meetings in which the County Department of Public Works weighed the merits of hauling the debris out and increasing truck traffic on local streets, or keeping it in the park and piling it up.

Johnson Field was a one-time sports field that now is an open space area; the field area turns into a seasonal lake in rainy years, as the above pictures show.
