Title

Childs Meadows Head Cut Stabilization and Repair Project

Description

The project proposes to construct bio-engineered erosion stabilization infrastructure at a head cut along Gumsey Creek within the Childs Meadows complex. The head cut control structure is designed to provide maximum assurance that the head cut will be arrested in place while providing an esthetically pleasing, biotechnical component that is consistent with existing conditions in the Childs Meadow area. The grade control structure will include 4 design elements: (1) a vegetated rock grade control structure, (2) several rootwad revetments, (3) Live fascine willow plantings, and (4) log cored willow baffles. In order to reduce the potential for the proposed head cut infrastructure to be flanked by stream channel moment, additional log cored baffles outside the immediate head cut area will be installed to deflect flow into the current channel along those flow paths where flanking is most likely to occur.
