Document Description
The purpose of this project is to replace a bridge that has been washed out by 2006 storm flooding. The bridge and its supports have subsequently been removed by the applicant. The project involves two sites located approximately 150-feet apart from one another on a 300-ft reach of Pistol Creek. A new bridge will be constructed in the location of the old bridge. The channel under and around the bridge will be restored to a stable geometry by re-establishing a bank-full channel and over bank-full terraces. The upstream site work will consist of stabilizing an eroded bank with rock slope protection in addition to adding three rock grade control structures across the channel within the bridge area and at the upstream site. The existing channel profile through the two project sites is currently unstable because of two head-cuts that are currently migrating upstream between the two project sites. The applicant is working with local resource agencies to secure grants for the purpose of restoration of this reach and to provide fish passage. Prior to any work in the channel the project site would be cleared of salmonids and other species by a qualified fisheries biologist. All rock slope protection (rip-rap) will be heavily vegetated.
