Document Description
The Pit Resource Conservation District is requesting $294,817 in funding from the Sierra Nevada Conservancy's Proposition 84 Preservation of Ranches and Agricultural Lands Grant Program for wetland restoration along Butte Creek in Big Valley. This project would utilize plug and pond techniques along 1.5 miles of creek channel. The project includes excavating sod and topsoil for re-vegetation, excavating and transporting fill material to the entrenched stream channels, constructing a grade control structure, filling a ditch and replanting salvaged vegetation and replacing topsoil. Construction methods include the operation of dirt moving machinery (e.g. excavator, loader, scraper) to remove or add soil to create benches, reconstruct channels, fill enlarged channels, create ponds, and remove dirt from higher elevation areas. The project site is currently hayed and grazed. The project would protect the productive half of the meadow and convert the non-productive lower half to something similar to the upper area.
