The North Yuba Water district (NYWD) will install a low water crossing through Dry Creek each spring and remove it each fall. The low water crossing involves deposition approximately 10-15 cubic yards of material across the stream within the historical roadway. This work is done after seasonal high flows have ceased (usually May or June). The material is commercially purchased clean crushed aggregate or drain rock between 3 and 4 inches in size stockpiled on sit. At the end of each irrigation season in October, the clean aggregate and inadvertent amounts of natural washed stream materials are removed from the crossing and stockpiled above the stream zone. During the installation of the low water crossing, the creek flow is passively diverted around the work area by opening the gate that leads the water into an adjacent canal. In addition to the low water crossing, the NYWD proposes to install and remove a protective berm across the front of the canal intake structure to protect it from deposition of streambed materials and debris during flood-stage flows. The protective berm is installed at the end of the irrigation season in October each year and moved to an immediately adjacent area at the beginning of each irrigation season in April.
