| Account | 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. |
