The activities proposed specifically for Reach 7, the portion of the Project being fundedby the EPA, are as follows: • Installation of a regenerative stormwater conveyance to restore a 15-foot headcut. • Address localized bank erosion through grading, matting, and vegetation. • Installation of log and boulder structures to provide grade control to protect streambanks. • Installation of grade control structures. • Ensure the channel is 6 to 7 feet in width with stable riffles and pools. The result will be a stable watershed with natural floodplain areas that hold floodwater to reduce downstream risk and improve ecological conditions in the watershed.
