Vado West Floodplain Repair

Repairing an approximately one half (0.5) mile segment of floodplain (Vado West Floodplain) to prevent erosion of the floodplain and levee system. This floodplain area will also serve as a rehabilitation project to provide riparian habitat as part of the environmental mitigation associated with the work done on the east levee directly across the Rio Grande. The current floodplain has eroded and fill will be required to re-establish normal boundaries to protect the existing levee system. This fill may come from existing islands inside the main river channel. These islands may also provide willows and other plants necessary to establish a riparian belt on the proposed floodplain site. The major construction efforts include, but are not limited to, installing gabions and reno mattresses, backfilling eroded and excavated areas, transplanting coyote willows, planting longstem shrubs, pole planting trees, seeding to revegetate site, and maintenance of all vegetation for at least one (1) year.
