Project Description

This proposed project would restore a small stream that is actively eroding near Medicine Lake and which drains directly into the West Medicine Lake Park Water Quality ponds. The project would stabilize streambanks to reduce erosion and associated pollutants including sediment and phosphorus along a 1,000-foot section of creek. Currently, the BCWMC is evaluating this area by surveying streambank conditions and identifying areas where banks need to be stabilized and where stream habitat can be improved. The BCWMC is working with the City of Plymouth to gather input from residents along the creek during the study. Watch the announcements section of this page for information on upcoming public input events.
