Suspended Sediment Concentration: “There was a large spike of SSC that occurred on or just before May 15, 2008 at the lower station… Precipitation records prior to this date showed no significant rain fall and this peak concentration was not observed at the upstream
- station. This would appear to indicate that the likely source of
this large SSC input may have resulted from a portion of a large cut bank sloughing into Dry Creek.” Total Phosphorus: “The total phosphorus (TP) concentrations within Dry Creek remained relatively stable with the exception of the large spike (0.45 mg/L) that occurred at DC-1 on the same date that corresponded to the high SSC spike.”

Dry Creek Stream Bank Rehabilitation and Riparian Restoration
Project Goal: Create a stable stream channel and establish a riparian buffer corridor on each side of Dry Creek Objectives: 1) Prevent stream bank erosion 2) Restore stream channel stability 3) Improve surface water quality (Dry Creek & Boise River) 4) Enhance wildlife habitat 5) Provide natural resource education & community outreach Methods: 1) Restore structure to functioning condition 2) Shape & grade “steep wall” eroded stream banks 3) Plant native riparian herbaceous & woody species 4) Create 200’ wide riparian buffer on each side of creek 5) Install public pedestrian pathway & educational signage
