Restoration of approximately one (1) mile of the Biscuit Run Stream within Biscuit Run Park to reduce erosion and increase wildlife habitat. The work generally consists of: construction of log jam and toe wood structures with riffle placement, bench grading, and landscaping. Selective tree removal and temporary roads will be required for access. This project received funding from a matching Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Stormwater Local Assistance Fund (SLAF) grant in the amount of $859,635.00.
