Completed November 11, 2021

The areas in this location were seeded in late fall with sedge seed: porcupine sedge, bottlebrush sedge and fox sedge. Shear force was used as a protective layer in this approach to the lake. The seed will grow in and cover all the matting in a couple of years.

Root Wads were cut and placed on the property. Most were roughly 10-12 feet in length not including the root wad. Each one was chain sawed to a point for easier installation. Click on each photo to make it larger.
They were installed at the river's edge in October of 2019. Some were inserted horizontally and some were pushed in vertically. Once in place, they were secured.

Please note that the bag wall was not part of the original cost share design. The homeowner wanted additional protection for the river bank and he and the contractor constructed the wall outside of the cost share program. Native plantings were installed in the Summer of 2020 to complete the cost share portion of the project. See where those plantings were installed by clicking the PLANTINGS button.

Estimated Cost: $19,000.00
Completed: 9/25/2021
NOTE: Cost Sharing on this project was done on the rip rap and plantings behind the rocks only. The bag wall was NOT within the project scope for this property.
