Watershed Restoration Project - Stream Debris Removal

Work will consist of the removal of stream debris, which impede stream flow or navigation as determined by the Project Inspector. Only trees and debris that have entered the stream shall be removed. No tree stumps should be removed from stream bank and no sediment should be removed from the stream. Loose stream debris should be placed so it is not on the flood plain and so debris will not re-enter the stream or cause any additional erosion problems. When work is finished, critical area planting of any disturbed stream banks will be required if deemed necessary by the Project Inspection. Any actions outside of this scope of work that will require additional permits and are not allowed.
