The Wendell H. Ford Regional Training Center (WHFRTC) is on reclaimed strip-mine land. Cypress Creek is channelized and flows in a straight pattern through broad floodplains within the WHFRTC, resulting in the loss of diverse aquatic habitat complexes. The project will involve the relocation and restoration of +/- 49,770 linear feet of Cypress Creek and its tributaries using natural channel design principles. The objective of this project is to establish a stable, natural stream pattern and dimension to restore the existing degraded habitat, altered primary physical processes, and destabilized in-stream conditions.

Because of the size and scope of the project, construction will be accomplished in eight (8) phases following a logical sequence of work. This bid package is for Phase 4 of the project involving the restoration of 5,719 linear feet of stream and the treatment of 300 acres of invasive plant species. Work will include, but is not limited to, excavation of proposed channels and floodplains; construction of in-stream structures and bank treatments; reshaping of existing channels; preparation of seedbeds; installation of erosion control blanket and mulch; application of herbicide using an unmanned aerial vehicle;

and installation of native seeds and live stakes. Grading and shaping may also occur within the floodplains adjacent to project streams to facilitate the storage and/or transport of floodwaters.
