Hely Creek
|
|
|
| The main channel of Hely Creek has been split by a debris accumulation at a site approximately 200 yards above its mouth. Flow has been diverted to both sides of this debris accumulation, severely eroding both stream banks and increasing channel width. Live trees now grow in the center of the previously active channel and they recruit sediment and more debris. Our recommendation is restore channel form by moving some of the wood debris to open the middle of the stream, secure some of the wood to armour stream banks around the site, and remove live vegetation from active stream channel, planting the banks as needed. There are other sites like this along Hely Creek.
