Notes, Sketch, Action Items, etc.:
Grass management winter fescue treatment
Flow observed in upper UT1
Gauges - bentonite seal (good)
Low vigor/survival in bank cut areas
Checked repairs UT1 from immediately post -construction storm
No flow mid and lower UT1 and UT2
Veg in channel UT2
Rose, pear and cattail sparse and being treated
Good species diversity in wetland
Lower Travis creek juncus dominated in old pond area, supplemental container plantings wetter species, overbank inundation
from creek
Wrack and deposits in floodplain, wrack in trees
Few logs and toe wood areas
Discussion on wood riffles, adding more wood to the system
Property access/easement constraints at high bank areas and erosion monitoring spots
