Deer Creek Erosion Control
The Deer Park Erosion Control Project was an erosion and sediment control project located on the former ski slopes of the abandoned Deer Park Ski Area in Placer County CA. The project goals consisted of improving the sediment transport and erosion caused by the abandoned ski slopes through contour grading resulting in improved hydrologic function and processes by capturing surface flows and restoring natural topography. Grading activities and revegetation were implemented to restore and enhance critical habitat while reducing erosion and sedimentation to lower Total Maximum Daily Loading (TMDL).
