RiverRestoration.org is coordinating the design and implementation of sediment stabilization and removal projects in Black Gore Creek. These projects utilize new techniques and creative solutions for reducing the impact of sediment on the watershed such as sand wanding, geo-tubes and log cribbings. RiverRestoration.org identified potential projects outside of the highway corridor.
