Packwood Creek Check Structure

Packwood Creek Check Structure

Construction of an in-channel concrete water control structure and 900 linear feet of channel improvements along both banks of Packwood Creek. The structure design features a standard concrete water control facility approximately 50 foot wide by 10 foot high by 15 foot deep. Embankment improvements would consist of raising the soil embankments no more than two additional feet in upstream areas of depressed bank elevation for detainment of in-stream flows. Staging of heavy equipment would occur within the bank side areas of Packwood Creek at the construction site. The project is proposing construction during the fall of 2011 when water flows are not present within the creek. The expected duration of the project is estimated between 60 and 90 days.
