The Mountain View Cemetery Scattering Canyon water quality project is to stabilize the existing stream channel to improve water quality that flows through the city owned cemetery into Newell Creek in the Metro owned Newell Creek Canyon natural area. Preliminary design products, currently at 30% of completion have been prepared and funds to prepare final plan and profile drawings, special specifications, erosion control, final cost estimates and implementation plan are in progress.

Aesthetics and access will also be important in the design of this project, as the project site is used as a spiritual visiting place for patrons of the adjacent cemetery to scatter ashes of loved ones.
