This project is permanently on hold due to design issues (10/27/2011)



Excavate a 3,600 linear foot channel in a currently existing swale to create a new channel approximately ten feet wide. At the upper end of the channel, groundwater would be daylighted and gravel would be placed to construct a French drain for the groundwater to drain through to the channel. An 18-inch layer of gravel would be placed on the bottom of the channel throughout its length to encourage spawning. Large tree trunks with root wads would be placed throughout the channel but especially at the mouth to provide cover. Areas disturbed during construction would have riparian plantings. The remainder of the site is vegetated with native trees and no additional planting would be needed.
