Summary
- Removed a failed low-water crossing and restored the stream to its historic alignment.
- Stabilized the channel with toe wood and grade control structures to reduce erosion and protect infrastructure.
Project Description
This project involved a historic low-water crossing on Town Branch near the Slaughter Pen Mountain bike trails that created significant erosion and lateral movement of the stream course over time. The channel was beginning to encroach on adjacent utilizes and posed a significant safety risk. The goal of the project was to remove the failed slab crossing and return the stream channel to its historic course, moving it away from the adjacent infrastructure. The project involved re-defining and stabilizing the channel with the use of toe-wood structures, cross veins, and grade control structures.
