Document Description
This project is a stream corridor improvement project that will reduce bank erosion and sediment delivery to the South Fork of the Trinity River. Approximately 1,000 feet of the riverbank will be stabilized through the installation of a series of 5 rock stream barbs to the 1.5 year bankfull level. Revegetation will also further stabilize the slope. It is estimated that this project will prevent the delivery of at least an additional 75,000 yd3 of sediment to the South Fork during moderate storm events. This project will be built under the authority of the Natural Resources Conservation Service Emergency Watershed Protection Program (EWP).
The primary objective of this project is the protection of the homes, a public roadway and public utilities at risk of loss due to bank erosion, including County Road 313 (Garrett Road) and power lines owned by the Trinity Public Utilities District. In addition, the reduction of fine sediment delivery to the South Fork will prevent degraded water quality conditions and protect salmon and steelhead trout habitat.
