PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This Bank Stabilization Project is being implemented for the USACE in conjunction with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). The overall goal of the project is to reduce terrestrial lead contamination from entering the aquatic system and further contaminating downstream areas. This will be accomplished by providing stability to bankline and stream channel alignment through bank stabilization, in-stream stone structures, pilot channel creation, and riparian tree planting.

Work requires harvest of timbers using forestry best management practices; clearing, grubbing, and stripping of existing vegetation for construction; excavation of stream pilot channels through existing gravel bars; removal of a remnant stone structure; placement of longitudinal peak stone toe protection, weirs, and grade control structures; construction of embankments for stabilization using biotechnical stream bank stabilization techniques; and placement of native seeds and/or harvested vegetation. The work would occur across approximately 4,000 linear feet of the Big River on both sides of the bank.

Access roads and staging areas will need to be developed in and around the riverine construction area, which can be prone to rapid fluctuations in water levels.
