Project Description
The project goals are to decrease erosive forces affecting the streambed and banks, protect adjacent private properties from further loss of land, improve water quality, and maintain or increase overall stream functions.  Drainage improvements will be performed on an existing open drainage channel with residential properties on both sides.  Limited access and possible additional permits from jurisdictional agencies are anticipated. Performance/Outcome: Improve flow of stormwater runoff, control erosion on channel banks as well as flood control in the area. Area will become more aesthetically pleasing and reduce nuisances of undesirable animal life. Approximately 8 homeowners are impacted by the open drainage channel at the rear of the properties. To alleviate known erosion issues and improve failing infrastructure is of high importance and ease citizen concerns.
