Construction Activities

and Upcoming Work

Over the past couple weeks, Interwest Construction, Inc. (ICI) installed the permanent erosion control at the MP 4 Engineered Log Jams (ELJs) and the MP 7.8 Tower Creek Bridge sites. These measures include rolled erosion control blankets on the disturbed slopes and rock check dams in the ditch lines.

In addition, Peninsula Environmental Group began planting willow and cottonwood pole plantings at the MP 4 ELJs. These plantings will help provide revegetation and further stabilization of the banks behind the ELJs that were built this year.

This work will continue for one to two more weeks and that will conclude the work for this year.
