DESCRIPTION
Project Area 10 was design and implemented in 2012 with the restoration of approx 1.8 miles creating new floodplain and riparian habitats. The restoration designs implemented in 2012, called for the placement of over 200 whole trees in stream and the construction of 5 ELJs on the lowest end of the project. Two river levees were breached to alow flows through and around those structures. Two river plugs were built to partition flow and create side channels in areas where flows had not been for over 15 years prior to river levees. Additionally in 2005 the project reach had experience sevier forest fire destroying much of the riparian habitat. Riparian forests have been slow to recover from the fires in much of this reach due to the elevated nature of the floodplain in relation to the river normal flood elevation. The river restoration design taegeted changing that condition and it is anticipated floodplain will be reconected encouraging riparian growth. This project would suport natural process in areas observed to require plannting to speed the recover process.
