The following photos are of the Kent Creek Restoration Project:

Bank re-contouring and stream narrowing improvements on a large bend that had severe (6′ to 8′ vertical) bank erosion.

Construction crew installing wing deflectors and in-stream boulders just downstream of Springfield Road.

Closer view of previous V-weir installation showing the downstream increased velocity and turbulence created in the flow that will create a “scouring affect” on the downstream stream bed.

Downstream view of enhanced riffle area showing associated bank re-contouring improvements covered by an erosion blanket to protect re-seeded soil.

Upstream view of a V-weir installation showing associated bank narrowing and re-contouring improvements.

URRP members and RPD personnel tour the work in-progress on the Kent Creek Habitat Improvement Project funded by the IDNR C-2000 Program.
