Document Description
The purpose of the project is to restore hydraulic function of a drainage swale at Valley Memorial Park to reduce flooding, control erosion and downstream siltation, and to enhance habitat. Valley Memorial Park, a cemetery, is adjacent to Rush Creek Open Space Preserve along its northern boundary and private residences and a service road/public walking trail along its western boundary. The swale enters the property at the southwest corner of the cemetery and flows along the western boundary. The swale will be recontoured to a geomorphically stable channel design. Invasive trees will be removed and the channel bed and banks will be revegetated with native wetland and riparian species. The swale restoration project is being undertaken to address a 2004 Water Board Notice of Violation for unpermitted dredge and fill activities.
