Restore wetland habitat, reduce sediment and expand flood storage capacity.
Details
This project involves the restoration of 62 acres of wetland. This restored wetland complex will significantly increase water quality in the river by absorbing excess nutrients and sediment and will provide flood protection during high flow events. As part of this project, restore hydrology on the majority of the agricultural acres by construction of two low-level earthen berms, installation of vinyl sheet pile ditch plugs, and incorporation of multiple in-line water control structures.
