DESCRIPTION
Description
Focus on knotweed control throughout the reach, as well as riparian restoration where possible, especially along the right bank. Explore additional opportunities to reduce the effects of artificial nighttime lighting beyond the mitigation requirements for the 2016 dredging project.
Opportunities, Constraints, and other Considerations
Habitat restoration opportunities in this reach are limited due to the flood protection requirements of the Corps 205 project. The US Army Corps of Engineers will have to be consulted on any habitat restoration done in this area. Strict restrictions on planting along levees in this area, but there may be opportunities for planting on the right bank.
