In response to concerns from residents about erosion along this urban stream, BHC RHODES was selected by the City of Gladstone to assess the entire segment of the stream. Construction plans were prepared for the stabilization of 2,000 LF of stream banks where residential back yards were experiencing erosion along selected portions of Mill Creek. "Green" solutions for protecting the adjacent yards were evaluated with City staff and detailed for construction. In addition to bank stabilization, the project also addressed and provided measures to protect the sanitary sewer lines from future damage from stream erosion.
