ROCK / LOG CHECK
Using native or imported rock or on-site trees , rock and log checks provide opportunities for sediment storage and reduce erosion , improving downstream water quality .
LOG JAMS
Designed to catch additional wood and debris during storm events to create larger jams over time . The jam acts as an energy dissipater , reducing velocity and providing opportunity for sediment storage and improvements to downstream water quality .
3
ARMORED CROSSINGS
Designed to enable controlled overtopping and flooding of stream crossings without destroying the crossing . They increase the resiliency of the roadway and maintain access during flood events .
5
AERIAL MULCHING
Improves downstream water quality by reducing runoff and hillslope erosion .
6
MUSCLE WALL
Protects structures by diverting water around the structure .
7
HILLSLOPE WATTLES
Mitigates hillslope erosion by dispersing water and trapping sediment .
8
WILLOW WATTLES
Used to repair wetland erosion and damage .
9
STREAM FORD
Buried feature is used to stabilize a stream-road crossing , mimicking a hardened riffle .
4
WATER BARS
Intercept flood flows down dirt or gravel roads and guide the water back into the adjacent stream . They help the resiliency of the roadway and maintain access during flood events .
