Project

Soap Creek CG Streambank Rehabilitation

General Information

1.0 Scope of Work

This project involves repairing approximately 200 ft. of the west bank of Soap Creek adjacent to sites #11 and #12 in Soap Creek Campground on the Gunnison Ranger District. The stream work will include hardening the banks with imported riprap, installing one rock stream barb, five root wads, and planting willows. For details or examples of the work requested, see construction drawings. Drawings rely on specifications outlined in the NRCS Stream Restoration and Design Field Guide and the USDA’s National Engineering Handbook, Part 654, Streambank Armor Protection with Stone Structures, Technical Supplement 14K.

2.0 Background

In 2019, a high spring runoff event significantly widened a section of Soap Creek, threatening the two campsites. The goal of this project is to prevent further stream bank destabilization on the western bank adjacent to the campground, in perpetuity, while simulating the existing stream ecosystem as much as possible, within budgetary constraints, as per

USFS design standards. Since this stream work is directly adjacent to a recreational site, aesthetics and recreational functionality are also important considerations.

The GPS location for the project site is 38.549728°, -107.317753°. Affected stream bank is adjacent to Sites #11 and #12 in the Soap Creek Campground along NFSR 771.2C on the Gunnison Ranger District. See maps and drawings supplied for more details.
