Bale Slough - Bear Creek Restoration Project Group A, Sites 1-5
Hanford graded the creek and floodplain and installed woody debris and native plants to support the site in restoring the stream and floodplain function, improve the quality and resilience of aquatic and terrestrial species, and reduce property damaged due to sediment delivery associated with bank erosion. Additionally, the wood structures aided in creating enhanced flows during rearing and foraging life stages of steelhead trout while contributing to the reduction of fine sediment discharges and streambed stabilization.
