Indian Run Floodplain Restoration at Highville Road

Project Description: The Indian Run Floodplain Restoration at Highville Road work includes selective site demolition, surveying; erosion and sediment controls; flow diversion; removal of accumulated sediment to create a functional floodplain area with a consistent slope tying into the upstream and downstream channel; creation of an anastomosed channel system that ties to the existing channel at the upstream extents and at the downstream end at Highville Road. Log sill and woody debris grade control structures will be installed to provide grade control across the restored system. The restored area will be planted as specified in the drawings to provide native riparian buffer habitat. Fencing and gate replacements are included in the Work.
