The project consists of the stabilization of an eroding shoreline on Lake Carmi through the installation of encapsulated soil lifts with a stone toe. The project is located on a U-shaped parcel maintained as common land by the Black Woods Association (BWA). The project work area is approx. 50 F long and the bank is approx. 4 F tall. The stacked, stepped stone toe will be approx. 2 F tall, and three layers of 6" encapsulated soil lifts will be installed above the stone. Large stones on the north end of the site will be reused when constructing the stone toe. A set of infiltration steps will be installed in the north area. Approx. 16 CY of excess cut material is anticipated.

The project consists of the reconnection of existing floodplain through selective berm removal and strategic wood addition. The project is located on a parcel owned by Jim Mullen, and the work area is focused on a section of Westcott Brook that includes an in-line pond. A berm follows the left bank of the brook for approx. 150 F, and there is a berm on the inside bend of the stream as it flows through the pond. The project will reconnect floodplain by removing portions of the berm while preserving existing trees and minimizing disturbance to adjacent wetlands. The work includes two flood chutes through the berm on the left bank, avoiding mature trees, and full removal of the berm adjacent to the pond. Approx. 125 CY of cut material is expected, which will be wasted in a predetermined location on site. The project also includes strategic wood additions which will be installed using ogs imported to the site by the contractor.
