EAST CANYON CREEK RESTORATION

Equinox Engineering partnered with SWCA Environmental Consultants to provided design services and construction management oversight for this project located along a highly degraded reach East Canyon Creek.  The riparian corridor adjacent to the channel had been significantly degraded due to over grazing which contributed to excessive vertical bank erosion. Project objectives include: fish passage, fish habitat creation/conservation, sediment transport reduction, lowering water temperature, and riparian shading to control invasive Macrophytes that deplete the dissolved oxygen which has threatened indigenous fish habitat and populations.
