Mamie Brouwer speaks with agency staff,
elected officials, and members of the
paddling community on a recent site visit.
This is the new road to the river to access
project sites associated with the gravel
mitigation project. The parking area for
Headworks is off to the right.
The view looking back up the new road from
the river. The gravel in the foreground has
been placed with the goal that it will be
redestributed once flows come up later in
the fall.
Two new engineered log jams. These log
jams have been designed for the 100 year
flood event. The interlocking matrix of logs is
held in place by ballast consisting of river
coble and does not use cables. Boaters will
need to be aware of this new hazard.
Members of the paddling community have
been working with the Corps to locate the
jams in a way that will minimize--but not
eliminate--the hazard to paddlers.
