Erosion and Sediment Control

 

PCRS continuously works toward controlling erosion on the hillsides and sediment in the creek. Erosion and sedimentation control entails a number of different aspects that include: placing gravel on the main trail; placing limbs and wood chips on the hillside; planting native trees and shrubs along the stream; cutting down the side trails; and checking the sanitary and storm conveyance lines for leaks.

 

Gravel on the main trail slows the flow of run-off water, which cuts down on erosion and ultimately cuts down on the sediment that is carried into the stream. By planting native trees and shrubs along the stream, we help hold the soil in place so it doesn't deposit into the stream.
