This photograph shows a stream crossing in the Grass Valley Creek watershed being surveyed by Trinity RCD and NRCS staff in May 1995. The new technique for removal of road crossings after storms in 1995 was to remove only the fill, not channel excavation (see Picture #2 for after shot).

Removal of fill material associated with the Siller (site 27-9.24) stream crossing in the Grass Valley Creek watershed. Note that stream excavation associated with the project was not extensive. The entire disturbed area was also covered with armoring with Enkamat (fine nylon) to prevent erosion of the bed. Photo courtesy of the Trinity County Resource Conservation District. June 1995.
