within a single thread channel through the <br />strategic placement of boulder cross vanes <br />and large wood bai~lc toe-slope <br />stabilization structures. <br />The middle segment extends upstream of a <br />shotcrete lined in-board drainage ditch <br />that enters the creels from the highway <br />immediately upstream of the Glen Cove <br />Inn. This segment is much steeper than <br />the lower segment, and is characterized by <br />steep bedrock and boulder cascades and <br />brief, lower gradient deposition areas that <br />exhibit extensive channel braiding and <br />Figzrre 1. Overvie~~~ o f project area <br />lateral instability. The project goal for this <br />segment was to create a single thread channel within these lower gradient areas through <br />the use of large wood and boulder to re-define the stream baiilcs and provide bai~lc-full <br />benches for revegatation of the bail{s. <br />The upper segment is less steep than the middle segment, but somewhat steeper than the <br />lower segment. The stream through the upper segment exhibits several areas of chamlel <br />braiding. There is a long segment near the downstream boundary of this segment where <br />sigiuficant down-cutting of the stream has resulted in a severe gully condition. Stream <br />bank vegetation is somewhat more robust within this sub-reach; however, the vegetation <br />consists principally of shallow rooted species that provide little stream bai~lc stability, <br />particularly in the areas where the channel is severely down-cut. The goal of treatments <br />in this segment was to control any further down-cutting of the channel, close off multiple <br />braid channels, and re-slope and re-vegetate eroding stream baiilcs. <br />Included in the project area are two tributary gullies that head from the Pikes Peak <br />Highway into the main channel of Sld Creek. Historically the gullies have received <br />
