Construction was initiated in November 2000 for 900 feet of natural channel design of a primary trout stream, in Rabun County, Georgia.  The purpose of the proposed stream mitigation plan was to restore, stabilize, and construct approximately 900 feet of a degraded cobble bed stream channel of Sawmill Creek. ESI provided construction management including pre-construction stake-out of the plan form, supervised and directed excavation and grading, and site clean-up after construction was completed. The project included in-stream structure installation, bankfull benches, streambank stabilization, and riparian vegetation planting.
