Riparian Zone Restoration
Hydrologic Process & Geomorphic Feature Restoration
The proposed project aims to stabilize slopes and creek banks and identify and reduce sources of urban pollutants into Weber Creek between Cedar Ravine Rd. and the confluence of Hangtown Creek. Ultimately the project will aim to reduce un-natural sediment loads and hydromodification as well as reduce the potential of urban pollutants from entering the creek or its tributaries. Bank stabilization will be accomplished by planting trees and native vegetation. The reduction of urban pollutants will be accomplished by placing swales along the creek and its tributaries in areas where it is urbanized or in proximity to a road, if possible. Low impact development will be applied for this project.
