| G | 188993 | 29 | Increase Aquatic and/or Floodplain Complexity | Construct Beaver Dam Analogs on Musselshell Creek | Musselshell Creek suffers from chronic, long term fine sediment aggradation, and high cobble embeddedness. Lower reaches of Musselshell creek are bordered by meadow complexes which on many years suffer from a lowering water table. To encourage scour and transport of fine sediment and raise the water table, we propose installation of several beaver dam analogs. These dam structures will include small post and sapling sized material designed to function during moderate flows to scour pools, redistribute sediment, and improve channel complexity for spawning and rearing habitat along a 0.5 mile stretch of Musselshell Creek. The intent is to mimic the natural conditions created by beaver dam construction and their effects on stream geomorphology and ground water.
These types of structures are also relatively low cost and can be installed by personnel working with minimal equipment and locally available materials. | $25,000 | 4.06% | 02/01/2019 | 08/30/2019 |
| H | 188994 | 186 | Operate and Maintain Habitat/Passage/Structure | Maintain Fence | From 1998 to 2018 fence has been constructed of wooden posts and four-strand barbed or smooth wire. Due to heavy snow loads, annual maintenance is required to maintain a properly functioning fence that protects riparian and stream habitat.
Since the fence maintenance and construction crew is used by the entire watershed division, this project will be completed between the start and end dates, but the exact timing is dependent on other projects within the division.
In some years due to unusually high workload, a fencing contractor may be utilized to assist in fence maintenance. This work will be paid for out of the repair line item. | $40,000 | 6.49% | 02/01/2019 | 06/10/2019 |
