Document Description
The Lower Scott Roads Maintenance and Stormproofing Project would accomplish maintenance of road ditches, culverts and the roadbeds to improve drainage and control erosion. It would outslope short segments and construct rolling dips, allowing decommissioning of several cross-drains. At stream crossings, the project would replace culverts having limited capacity with those designed to pass larger flood waters and debris, reduce fill volumes and armor fillslopes, thereby preventing fill failures that can result in erosion. The purpose of this work is to protect water quality, reduce sediment pollution in Canyon, Kelsey and Tompkins Creeks and in the Scott River, which is a sediment-impaired waterbody. These streams support coho salmon and other anadromous fish species.
