Objectives
This project will mainly focus on bank stabilization, vegetation, buffer enhancement, and stream conveyance. This is a large project with much-needed grading and stream bank repair. The bank stabilization will gently slope the existing vertical banks to establish a growing surface for vegetated buffer and future tree growth that will in turn provide roots to secure the stream bank.
This project has had the opportunity to expand with additional partnerships that have delayed progress toward construction. This added length of the Tributary will extend to the limits of the FEMA Floodplain to restore additional stream. The total project will restore over 19,000 linear feet of stream in the Rocky River watershed in Davidson, NC.
Estimated Cost: $3.3 million**
*includes all costs associated with this project such as planning and design, utility relocation, consultant fees, permits, construction, and landscaping.
The project team will manage the project through several phases. Specific work is conducted during each phase and public involvement is emphasized throughout the process.
