Document Description
The project consists of a non-commercial instream gravel removal operation whereby the extraction of gravel is accomplished by "skimming" or grading aggregate from gravel bars above the low water channel. No excavations in the channel are deeper than the thalweg (i.e. the line connecting the lowest or deepest points along a streambed). A positive slope is maintained from the thalweg to the streambanks. Costello Ranch intends to remove up to 5,000 cubic yards of gravel annually from South Fork Cottonwood Creek for use on the ranch.
