Description    


Between September 5 and September 22, 2017, 1) Removal of the pond embankment fish barrier and construction of an approximately 510 foot long engineered channel 2) Installation of 20 large woody debris (LWD) habitat enhancement structures along the engineered channel reach, 3) Replacement of existing culvert infrastructure with an armored fill crossing, 4) Installation of an armored fill crossing, 5) Replacement of culvert infrastructure with an embedded culvert, 6) Construction of 5 rolling dips and approximately 150 linear feet of road outsloping and berm removal along 905 ft of hydrologically connected road, and, 7) Application of erosion control seed, rice straw mulch to bare soils disturbed by construction activities, and replanted the newly exposed riparian corridor. Between February 5 and February 8, 2018, a total of 100 Oenanthesarmentosa, 100 Juncus effuses; 100 Cyperus eragrostis; 100 Scirpus microcarpus; 50 Rubus parviflorus; 60 Rubus spectabils, 40 Lonicera involucrate, and 60 Sequoia sempervirons were planted. Additionally, replanted approximately 100 native sedges (Cyperus spp.) salvaged from the construction area and over 200 willow (Salix spp.) stakes. An estimated 1,950 yd3 of sediment was excavated utilized for streambank and floodplain construction or stockpiled in suitable designated stable spoil locations.

Project Benefit    


Improved access to approximately 1,160 feet of habitat and prevention of 1,295 yards of sediment into coho habitat on the mainstem Jack of Hearts Creek.
