Project Overview

Basics

Degraded Channel and Riparian Areas
Degraded Channel Structure and Complexity
Carli Creek Water Quality and Habitat Enhancement Project

Completed
Project consists of an Integrated Stormwater Treatment Facility designed for habitat and water quality benefits and in-stream enhancement . Includes:
• Diverting stormwater from industrial land uses to constructed channels, ponds, wetlands, and permeable berms for treatment (through detention, infiltration, & filtration)
• Grading areas adjacent to Carli Creek to create off-channel and floodplain habitat
• Removing non-native and invasive vegetation and planting native species
• Adding large woody debris and beaver-attraction structures to the Carli Creek channel
Estimated total cost includes land acquisition.
