Hell Roaring Creek - stream restoration

IMA was contracted to, design, permit, and construct a stream restoration project on the upper most tributary of the Missouri River. The project utilized beaver dam analog structures to increase floodplain connectivity, activate side channels, and increase riparian widths.

Bank erosion was addressed with several different techniques

Beaver dam analog structure

Bank erosion pre-project implementation

Area of bank erosion restored with grading, small woody debris, and native plants

Beaver dam analogs installed on a secondary channel to increase floodplain connectivity and riparian vegetation
