Using a large excavator remove woody debris from the channel. Then establish the toe of the slope back at the pre -event location for a distance of approximately 100 linear feet using
approximately 200 tons of class 2 rip -rap stone. Then place geolifts and soil material above normal high water level in order to establish vegetation and provide long term stability of the
streambank.
