4. Initial Low Dike building on roadway Long rolls of heavy duty poly laid down along roadway on the side the water is coming from Use cement truck full of sand to run the course and lay a 1 – 2 foot “bead” of sand the length of the poly Fold poly up and over on both sides Place regular sandbags every two feet to keep poly sealed
