Document Description
The purpose of the project is to minimize further degradation of ~60 linear ft. of stream bank that failed in the New Year's Eve storm of 2005. The bank failure resulted in the loss of backyard section and trees and now poses an emergency threat to the house foundation and other sections of the backyard. The proposed restoration project includes adding new rock revetment tied into existing rock, trimming existing root wads of fallen trees; realignment of fallen trees; anchoring the trees with concrete blocks; incorporating willow bundles 8-10 ft. above the rock to replace lost shade; replacing loose rock that had been displaced by the root wad; adding loose rock for tie-in at the upstream end and replacing ~25 ft. of damaged fence in the backyard.
