Document Description
The project is limited to use of hand operated tools such as string trimmers and chainsaws by hand crews to cut up and remove several downed tree trunks, accumulated heavy wood debris and to trim back overhanging branches of woody vegetation within the bed of Gordon Slough where it poses a singificant impediment to stormwater flows within Gordon Slough for a distance or approximately 5,000 linear feet. Living trees and vegetation will not be removed from the banks or bed of the creek, vegetation will only be trimmed in such a manner that the lowest branches will not pose a significant risk of catching flotsam within stormwater flows.
