Document Description
A section of the right bank of San Lorenzo Creek bank was destabilized when a riparian tree fell during the 2022/2023 wet season and triggered a small area of bank failure. Winterization with plastic sheeting is necessary to prevent erosion of the bank during the 2023/2024 winter season, while a long-term bank stabilization project is developed.
