Project Description:
Planning & Development: The projects planned at Spanish
Creek, Last Chance Phase II, Long Valley Creek, and Sulphur Creek
need to be conceptualized. At this point, each project area
has been visited once or more, and it has been determined that the
CRM has the expertise to assist the requesting landowner.
Restoration concepts have been introduced to the landowners at each
of the project development sites. Additional steps needed for
project conceptualizing consists of skeletal surveys to determine
slopes, channel sizes, and appropriate restoration techniques for
the site. Meeting with landowners is an integral part of
project development, to ensure that the project design meets their
needs as well as the restoration goals and design requirements.
Project Description:
Monitoring:The CRM maintains ten continuous recording stations
at: Last Chance Cr @ Million Dollar Bridge; Last Chance Cr @
Doyle Crossing; Red Clover Cr @ Notson Bridge; Indian Cr @ DWR weir
(abv Red Clover); Indian Cr @ Flournoy Bridge; Indian Cr @
Taylorsville Bridge (with turbidity); Lights Cr @ Deadfall Lane
Bridge; Wolf Cr @ Main St in Greenville; Spanish Cr @ Gansner Park;
Sulphur Cr @ 89 Bridge. Map of locations
