The project includes the implementation of many features to reconnect the creek with the floodplain, stabilize steep eroding banks, and increase fish habitat and migration on Third Creek between Incline Way and Lakeshore Drive. The project also included the connection of a remnant channel which will be activated when flows in the channel exceed approximately 60 cfs. The activation of this channel provided an opportunity to enhance an area of existing stream environment zone (SEZ) , reduce erosive flows within the main Third Creek channel and provide another mechanism to allow sediment to fall out of suspension.
This project did not include the replacement of culverts at Incline Way and Lakeshore Drive. Culvert replacement will be completed as part of Phase II.
