DESCRIPTION
This project will create designs and outreach materials to help restore habitat and stabilize the streambank along a stretch of Berwick Creek in the Chehalis Industrial Park. The two main benefits are restoration and improvement of habitat and flood reduction hazard. This project will increase flood storage capacity and improve in-steam and riparian habitat. Additionally, the banks are heavily overgrown with invasive Reed Canary Grass which further reduces stream capacity and velocity. This creates bank overflow and flooding of adjacent properties.
