    Just a suggestion...tree trimmers/removers use 'ground protection mats' to protect lawns when moving heavy equipment in place to do their work [the mats act as a bridge to distribute weight avoiding compression marks]. I don't see why you couldn't use those 'mats' to avoid what happened, as well as, over your filtration area. Can't wait to see the finished project - EPIC I'm sure. Cheers...
