Project Overview

This site has been monitored for several years due to past storm events causing flood waters that impacted State Highway 371 and Belle Prairie housing developments. This site is contributing large amounts of sediment and is one of the worst erosion sites identified along the Mississippi River in Morrison County.
This project will stabilize a severely eroded section of streambank at the outlet of Fletcher Creek, which enters the Mississippi River. In addition to stabilizing the streambank, the stream channel will be improved to efficiently transport sediment that will reduce downstream impacts. Natural materials will be used to protect the toe of the streambank and provide habitat. The project will deliver improved water quality by reducing runoff flow volumes and velocities, reduced sediment and stream bank erosion, and will enhance aquatic habitats.
