E-MAIL: Ernie Waugh, Contract Specialist,
Ernie.Waugh@SWF.usace.army.mil. The improvement consists of two
components, the "channel" and the "swale". The first component, the
channel, consists of clearing and excavating the existing creek to
remove debris and sediment; the channel begins immediately downstream
of Highway 10 and extends 400 feet downstream. The channel is
grasslined with bottom widths varying from 80 feet just downstream of
the box culverts and narrowing to 20 feet over the initial 250 feet.
The remaining length of the channel shall have a 20 foot bottom width.
The side slope shall be one vertical on two horizontal. The channel
improvement allows low flows to continue downstream within the existing
creek. The second component, the swale, consists of excavating an
overflow swale which diverts high flows toward an abandoned borrow pit;
the swale begins 125 downstream of Highway 10 and extends 775 feet
downstream. The swale is grasslined with a bottom width of 100 feet. On
the East bank at the upstream end, along the first 200 feet and on the
West bank at the downstream end along the final 200 feet, the side
slopes are one vertical on six horizontal. The remaining banks shall be
sloped with one vertical on two horizontal side slopes. The swale
invert is 2 feet higher than the downstream invert of the box culvert
on Highway 10; the swale also has two rock ditch checks to provide
grade control. The channel and swale will be turfed with natural
grasses; no mowing or erosion repair will be required. The channel will
require periodic maintenance to remove debris and sediment to ensure
low flows continue downstream within the existing creek. Note: "Award
