marble springs
The Marble Springs Stream Restoration Project contains approximately 3,031 linear feet of stream channel restoration, riparian restoration, channel relocation and in-stream habitat enhancement. Project objectives include restoring Neubert Springs and one unnamed tributary to a referenced, stable morphologic dimension, pattern and profile and reforesting the cleared riparian corridor. Stream channel restoration activities will involve reconstructing the existing channel in its original floodplain location, reshaping stream banks, installing natural grade control structures, installing log vanes, log sills, step structures, cross vanes, or other necessary natural materials deemed appropriate to reduce bed and bank erosion. Riparian and stream bank restoration areas will be reforested through native tree and shrub planting, live staking and permanently excluding mechanized land-clearing, mowing, bush-hogging or other maintenance.
