Parleys Canyon Upper Phase 2
Project Goals and Objectives
The goal of this project is to reestablish or rebuild a former aquatic resource and will result in a gain in aquatic resource area and function. The purpose of this project is to restore wetlands, improve water quality, wildlife habitat (riparian vegetation), reduce downstream sedimentation, and further erosion (i.e., incision) of the stream bed.
Structure Construction Elements
LTPBR structures were built using untreated wood posts (4’ length, 2-4" diameter) pounded into the stream-bed at the height of the ordinary high water mark and then filled in using on-site materials including sustainably harvested branches, mud, rocks, and clumps of sod.
