-- Stabilize seven hundred feet of eroded bank.
-- Improve the capacity of 1,600 feet of channel by excavating deposited sediment and relocating a dead tree in the channel.
--Install a nine-hundred-foot shallow floodplain ditch to route low flows into the main river channel.
--Augment spawning habitat in two riffles in the downstream end of the reach.
