Basics
A reach of Angora Creek was captured after sewer construction, taking on a new course following a sewer line that runs down the meadow. This new creek alignment ran in a straight line for over 2,000 feet. This in turn caused severe down-cutting of the creek bed and lowering of the water table, resulting in drying of the meadow vegetation and impaired habitat. The creek was suffering from water quality issues as well because there was effluent from the sewer line leaching into the creek and ground water. State Parks implemented a restoration project in 2002. A new meandering channel was constructed at grade with the meadow, and the sewer line channel was backfilled and re-vegetated.
