Extended Project Description:
This project, Stillwell Branch Stream Restoration Project, located within the Rolling Fork Wildlife Management Area off Scott Road in Larue County, Kentucky, shall generally consist of the re-establishment, rehabilitation, and enhancement of approximately 44,544 linear feet of perennial, intermittent, and ephemeral streams tributary to the Rolling Fork River. Tasks to be performed in order to achieve project goals include reshaping of existing channels; re-establishment of new channels with stable dimensions; construction of in-stream structures; preparation of soil for seeding; native planting and seeding; installation of erosion control fabric and mulch; and harvesting, transporting, installation, and maintaining live stake and vegetative materials. The restoration project involves re-establishment of ~19,809 feet of channel, rehabilitation of ~12,947 feet of channel, and enhancement of 289 feet of channel with equipment. The restoration project also involves rehabilitation of ~10,868 feet of channel and enhancement of 630 feet of channel by handwork. Restoration will include in-stream structures such as armored riffle crossings, rock/log riffles, rock riffles, buried rock grade control, log vanes, half log vanes, staggered log chutes, log chutes, root wad bank armoring, brush bed, channel-spanning log jam, bio-engineered armoring, bio-engineered bank armoring, slab and boulder clusters, rock/log toe, class A rock cascade, rock/log channel, floodplain swales, special trail armoring, and floodplain brush vanes as well as vegetation of the stream banks and establishment of a forested riparian corridor along the streams.
