Location:
Jabez Branch, MD
Project Scope:
The project, located in Reach III of the Jabez Branch, addresses a significant erosion and pollution problem by filling the deeply incised channel — 10 feet deep or more in places — with native sands, gravel and wood chips to connect it with its floodplain. A series of riffles and pools have been created in the channel to slow the flow and help withstand big storms. 2.6 acres of wetlands enhanced and 2.7 acres restored bordering the stream.
