Five guys, an excavator, skid steer and 70 ton of rock. An MCTU bank stabilization/habitat project designed to curtail a severely eroding streambank seven feet high x 60 ft long.
Designed and permitted by PF&BC Habitat division, Rock paid for through F&BC too. Escavator, Skid Steer donated and labor volunteered. Ten hours (with a three hour McGuiver delay in the middle).
Scope of work included 1 deflector with a log and rootwad extending 15 feet into a 20ft carved out bank of sediment upstream of a large maple tree. The stream is 70 ft wide in this area. Property is streamside private property open to general regulation fishing and a popular access point on Muddy Creek. Goals included the prevention of sedimentation from erosion during future storm events and the protection of a project downstream completed in 2002.
The project resulted in a fast runs beginning at a rootwad and ending at a large tree root mass now protected from direct sheer stress.
A well organized and executed team effort for MCTU. Trees and shrubs to follow. As well as the inspection and harassment of the new tenants.
