Bonnel Cr. Gas Line Crossing



Thomas surveying the site of the natural gas line crossing on Bonnel Creek. The gas company dug out the stream bed and installed a buried Newberry weir to help prevent the migration of the stream bed over the pipe buried beneath the stream bed.

Streamkeepers worked on this site once the gas company left to seed with fall Rye to rapidly vegetate the exposed soils. A Willow spilling wall was installed along the leading edge of the left bank left exposed to further erosion from winter high flows. The Willow wall will help collect sediment and re-grow some riparian habitat within this exposed site.
