This project is intended to demonstrate the importance and feasibility of utilizing buffers along streams to prevent non-point source pollution from agriculture and cost effective methods of stream bank stabilization for erosion control.
Eroded stream bank is sloped to reduce energy from high water
Site 1
Straw erosion control blanket is put down to hold soil short term
Erosion control blanket is trenched in to prevent high water from
undercutting
Trees and grass is planted to hold soil long term
Trees provided by NRCS Plant Materials Center
Site 1, one week after completion
Site 2
Stream bank is sloped
Erosion control blanket, trees and grass is applied to the site
Grass seed is applied to the disturbed riparian area and a 4-weeler is used as a cultipacker
Site 2, one week after completion
Site 3, before restoration
Banks are sloped and seeded
Footers are dug for log vain construction
When necessary, wildlife was removed from the site and relocated
Log vain anchored into stream bank
When available, rocks and trees from the site were used
Completed log structure
Completed log structure
Sometimes the erosion control blankets needed to be cut to fit the site
