solicited and secured, invoices collected, and reports were produced. No contingency funds were required. Cost to date: $15,000 Will be complete: March 1, 2005 Evaluation of Goal Achievement The project has initially been judged a great success by the conununity and project participants. Improvements intended to reduce streambank erosion, improve recreation, enable fish passage, and enhance habitat will be continually evaluated after spring flow this year. The project was completed within budget thanks in part to the many in-kind donations made by landowners, contractors, and community members. The alignment of the willow fences is different from years past in that they run perpendicular to rock vanes. The Association tluiilcs this will be a successful angle for holding the outside banks of the channel in place, trapping nutrient-rich soil between rows, encouraging natural recruitment of native vegetation, and preventing natural movement of the river in the short term. This treatment also cost-effectively decreases sedimentation from bank erosion, protects private property, economic investments, and serves the community by providing additional habitat, an aesthetically pleasing natural streambai~lc, and improved recreational potential.
