Document Description
Replacement of previously washed away rip-rap with 1- and 2-ton rip-rap within a 1,200 sq. ft. area (40' wide x 30' long) of English Creek adjacent to and downstream of the Via Noveno vehicle and pedestrian bridges. The purpose of the rip-rap is to stabilize the invert of the bridge and the adjoining embankments. The banks along the vehicle and pedestrian bridges are severely undercut and the adjoining easterly embankment has heritage oak trees that are in danger of falling into the creek if erosion continues. Three hundred square feet of existing vegetation will be removed along the west embankment within the work area in order to allow a track hoe access to the area to place the rip-rap. After work is complete, vegetation will be replanted in-kind. Stockpiling of rip-rap, prior to construction, will occur on the paved trail upland of the creek. An erosion control and dewatering plan will minimize riparian impacts.
