Description    


This project developed prelminary designs for the Skinney Creek stream restoration project. Railroad construction and subsequent construction of Highway 2 re-aligned Skinney Creek into its current channel configuration. The lower 2,000 feet of Skinney Creek is narrow and confined between two remnant berms or levees. This design project developed conceptual and preliminary designs to re-construct the stream channel into its former floodplain area.

Project Benefit    


This project developed a prelminary design to re-align Skinney Creek back into its historic channel and adding large woody material. This project, when implemented in the future, will benefit Chinook and steelhead.
