PROJECT INFORMATION:  Required work will include stream modifications, native planting, site improvements, and monitoring and adaptive management of plantings. Stream modifications include, but are not limited to, 1300 LF channel reshaping and 890 LF of stream rock riffles/pool/run complex. Planting includes approximately 7.4 acres of native riparian woodlands to create a 50-ft wide riparian buffer zone on each side of the stream and creation of 0.6-acre emergent wetland habitat. Site improvements include removal of a hydraulic flap gate at the Ham Branch Sluice, and a gravel parking lot with a trash control system. The scope also includes monitoring and potentially modifying a sediment/litter trap. These scoped items will be subject to monitoring and applying adaptative management strategies to meet success criteria under the established mitigation Monitoring and Adaptive Management Plan.
