Document Description
Armor approximately 100 foot long section of severely eroded creek bank using a combination of revegetation, rock armoring, and erosion control measures. The eroding area is within a recorded historic-era archaeological site (CA-SON-2294/H) that dates back to the 1830s. Important archaeological features have been lost due to the eroding creek bank. At the direction of park staff, heavy equipment will be used to install large boulders within the eroded area avoiding placement into the active channel. Native cuttings of willow will be planted among the boulders to restore riparian vegetation within the eroded area. Work will include laying back loose sloughing streambank segments, excavating fill, shaping the streambank for receipt of boulders, and final placement of boulders according to specified plans.
All work will be monitored by the Department of Parks and Recreation district archaeologist. Contractor is responsible for complying with all permit conditions, including but not limited to Department of Fish and Game 1600 permit condition, and/or United State Army Corp Section 401 and 404 permit conditions, and/or United States Army Corp Section 401 and 404 permit conditions.
