Document Description
The applicant proposes to modify and re-construct a water control structure for the purpose of raising the water table in the Egg Lake Slough in the dry months to improve water fowl habitat and encourage the growth of willow and shrub plantings. A previous water control structure was built in the project vicinity, but did not hold enough backwater for wetlands creation. This new Grade Stabilization Structure is being constructed under the Wetland Program administered by the Federal NRCS. Te WRP provides local assistance to landowners to address wetland, wildlife habitat, soil, water, and related natural resource concerns on private lands. The structure will provide additonal backwater in the channel to raise the water table. There will be flashboard riser and piping through the structure to allow the water to flow through the structure as needed.
