Significant embankment failures occurred at both parks, posing a threat to specific public-access elements and function of the adjacent facilities, with additional impacts to an irrigation pumphouse & its contents at Coonskin. The relocation of the pumphouse and reconfiguration of the golf course at Big Bend may be requested.
