The primary purpose of this project is to eliminate two non-culvert fish passage barriers and improve fish habitat by adding root-wads, stumps, and boulders. The Cedar River Basin Plan states that water quality and the fish habitat in Maplewood Creek has been degraded as a result of increased flow and sediment delivery. Insufficient pools, lack of woody debris, stream bed down-cutting, and unsuitable substrates in several segments of the creek have degraded the quality of fish habitat. A fish passage barrier, located at the water supply pipeline is caused by an existing bed control structure, creating a 4-foot drop in the streambed. Another fish passage barrier, located upstream of the new rock-lined channel is caused by the accumulation of debris which has created a 3 foot drop in the streambed. Bed-control structures composed of large woody debris (LWD) and boulders will be placed downstream of the drop to raise the streambed profile and minimize the height of the drop to improve fish passage. These bed control structures will stabilize the streambed movement and will provide fish habitat by creating hydraulic diversity. LWD and stumps will also be placed at several locations using a helicopter to minimize impacts on the steep ravine and the stream buffer. Final placement of materials will be done by hand.
