Bluff Creek Headwaters Ecological Restoration Project
The purpose of the project is to reduce streambank erosion, improve water quality, and restore ecological function of the Bluff Creek headwaters.
Status
The project is currently in the design phase with construction date to be determined. Work will include streambank stabilization, erosion control, creation of habitat layers, and installation of a wetland outlet control structure.
About the Project
This project will provide an ecologically diverse stream reach that significantly reduces streambank erosion, provides diverse habitat layers, improves the ecological functions, and enhances the public’s access and their understanding of why stable stream systems are important while providing improved inspection and maintenance access.
Project Area
The general project area is north of Highway 5 on either side of Galpin Boulevard (County Road 117).
