Project Detail

LAKESHORE NATURAL RESOURCES PARTNERSHIP INC.: RES-Restoration of Stony Brook-Phase 3

Purpose

Lakeshore Natural Resources Partnership (LNRP) is sponsoring a project to build upon Phase 1 and 2 of the Stony Brook restoration effort with additional work downstream from the earlier work to install buffers, enhance fish habitat, and meander and restore a channelized stream corridor. Project final deliverables include: 1) Restore a 580-foot channelized section of Stony Brook by recreating meanders, adding instream habitat, improving impeded flow, and creating healthy stream buffers between the stream and adjacent cropland; 2) Build on current community engagement efforts and expand the Trout in the Classroom experience by engaging students in the habitat restoration efforts and increase awareness of land use impacts on water quality. Continue to engage riparian landowners with the goal of recruiting additional stretches of stream for habitat restoration and cropland practices to better protect water quality; 3) All design plans and final report summarizing the project; 4) Copy of the recorded contract between grantee and property owner. Special Conditions: 1) Prior to construction, LNRP will obtain all requisite landowner access and permits as required from WDNR, the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE), Calumet County, and other regulatory agencies or municipalities. This scope summarizes the project detail provided in the application and does not negate tasks/deliverables described therein. Data, records, and reports, including GIS-based maps, and digital images, must be submitted to the Department in a format specified by the regional Lake Biologist.
