Title

Vineyard Creek Improvement Project

Description

The Vineyard Creek Channel Enhancement Project will be undertaken to meet the following objectives: improve fish passage and habitat restoration, increase and maintain flood conveyance, stabilize incised and eroding banks; improve water quality; and promote an ecologically healthy riparian corridor. The project will improve flood conveyance and fish habitat and passage within the project reach. Creek corridor modifications will include replacing the culverts at the Center Road crossing with a free span bridge or bottomless arch culvert, providing modifications to the bed and bank to eliminate erosion risks to adjacent properties and improve water quality, promoting active channel conveyance of both water and sediment and providing improved low- and high-flow fish passage, improved water flow channel from and enhanced in-stream habitat. The riparian corridor will be replanted to provide a low density native under-story, "soft" bank erosion protection (where possible) and increased canopy.
