Meadowview Stream Restoration

The over 3-meter-high unstable banks of Meadowview stream were a serious public safety concern to the nearby community. To create a safer environment, the community installed a 3:1 slope planted with Californian native plants along the stream bank that was stabilized with compost rolls seeded with native grasses. This improved the beauty of the area, removed the public safety hazard, created habitat for native plants and animals, and created better recreation opportunities for the community. This project also improved downstream water quality, reduced erosion, reduced costs at a downstream detention basin, and helps to recharge the local aquifer.
