This project will support the review of all public comments submitted for the Buffalo Creek TMDL and make appropriate edits and changes to the draft TMDL based on MPCA guidance.
The project will realign portions of the creek in its historical channel, restoring its meander pattern and in-stream habitat by using bioengineering techniques. The techniques included root wads and biologs for streambank protection, vegetated reinforced soil stabilization for streambank stabilization, boulder rock vanes for grade control and in-stream flow control, and constructed riffles and pools for in-stream habitat.
