Please give a brief project description below. *

The proposed work is intended to improve the health of the stream
ecosystem by improving channel stability and habitat quality, along
with improving riparian and streamside vegetation conditions. This will
be accomplished with the construction of instream structures using
trees found on site fashioned in the channel to protect eroded stream
banks and create high quality aquatic habitat features.
The desired condition is to have high quality riparian areas and
aquatic habitat features that maintain hydrologic function, floodplain
connectivity, enhance stream stability, and minimize erosion. The
proposed action is needed at this time, at these locations, because
taking no action would lead to further erosion and sedimentation
which, in turn, would cause further damage to aquatic habitat and the
maintenance of state designated uses.
The following channel enhancement and stabilization techniques are
planned in this reach to improve degraded conditions and reverse
the trend to improving conditions:
1) With a medium sized trackhoe construct channel features, e.g.
point bars and floodplain (bankfull benches) where appropriate.
Access for the equipment would be from a Forest Service road and
off -road on the floodplain without construction of a road bed. Only
vegetation would be cleared for equipment access and any
compaction would be obliterated as the equipment leaves the area
and access would be blocked.
2) Fell live trees from within 100 feet of the stream and incorporate
large wood structures into the channel at designed locations to
enhance channel stability and aquatic habitat diversity, e.g. riffles
and pools.
3) Erosion control measures would be implemented on all disturbed
soil.
Please give a couple of dates you are available for a meeting.
