Black Creek Stabilization Project

The District completed 450 linear feet of streambank stabilization on Black Creek at two sites in the Town of Chili. The project commenced in August, 2008 and was completed 5 weeks later on September 24, 2008. MCSWCD technicians worked with the Town of Chili Highway Department and Department of Public Works to construct the stabilization measures. The stabilization technique used rock rip-rap with a mix of native species planted between the rocks, to allow for a vegetative cover to improve cooling effects for aquatic life, filter pollutants from runoff events, minimize sediment loss, and beautify the surroundings. The project was funded by the Great Lakes Commission through a grant that the MCSWCD received in 2006.
