Document Description
The Middle Martis Creek project is a restoration project designed to improve water quality, eliminate flooding and restore habitat. Prior to the construction of Brockway Road (now Hwy 267) in the 1800s, Middle Martis Creek formed an alluvial fan as it entered Martis Valley. The creek would have actively migrated among several channels on the fan. When the road was construction, the creek was confined to a single channel, now on the south side of the hwy. The confinement of Middle Martis Creek to a single channel has caused channel instability, erosion and headcutting, flooding, and erosion. The project aims to restore a portion of the flow on the north side of Hwy 267, while maintaining sufficient flows on the south side to sustain existing wetlands and riparian habitat. Additionally, the project will reactivate the historic stream channel on the north side of the hwy to increase wetland habitat.
