During the heavy rains and winds of May, the berm that went to the north side of the property ended up being washed out.

Today, U-M Plant Operations came out and fixed the berm by filling it in with lots of new gravel.

It isn't packed down, but I'm sure that having a few researchers drive over it will help.
