This is a location of an in stream habitat improvement and riparian revegetation project conducted by Chelan County in 2004 on the Wenatchee River. This project resulted from a flood in 1996 that nearly took out the Sleepy Hollow Road and bridge. Chelan County Public Works did some emergency work to save the road immediately after the flood and as a condition of the in stream work permit, they were required to put some habitat features (rock 'barbs' and log/root wads anchored to large boulders between and in the barbs. There are two rock barbs and about 8 log/root wads) in the river and reestablish riparian vegetation on the bank. Cascadia Conservation District conducted the riparian restoration and will continue to conducts monitoring and maintenance through December 31, 2011.
